Hi Rick,

I'm curious what your thoughts would be on a good match for rear surround speakers for a pair RS8 arrays?

Thanks,

Where do you plan to locate them? Maximum dimensions?

Thinking at a 45 degree angle from directly behind (if that makes sense) the seating positions and some 10 feet away from the seating positions. I have a ranch basement so I'm mulling over a movie room setup. Would like to keep the surrounds out of the traffic path etc.

I'll measure the basement area tomorrow so I can provide some real specifics.

The area I'm working with is about 22 feet long and 18 feet wide. I would guess the seating position will be around 12 feet from the RS8's and the screen.

Thanks

It really depends on the size of cabinet you want. I would suggest a MTM with dual 5" drivers or a 7" 2-way. You can go larger than that but with wall-mounted speakers it's not often practical.
