I really like the design of the A/V-1RS, the idea of the omnipole surround, and the way it integrates visually and functionally into the room, but the only knock on this speaker is general lack of output as it's a small surround speaker, and that some people prefer the sound of the O-3 for a beefier sound coming out of the rear. The A/V-1RS is a great design for a smaller theater or for integrating a theater into a living space. What are the chances of a new design for a larger version of this speaker with additional, larger drivers for those of us that are building serious theaters? How about stacking a 6 1/2" or an 8" driver on both sides of the current configuration, or even aiming these woofers off to the sides or out towards the room? I like the low profile of the speaker against the wall, but it could easily be twice as wide, a little deeper, and a little taller and still be visually acceptable, say 30" wide by 10" deep by 18" high. As long as the speaker is above shoulder level and has a relatively low profile it shouldn't really matter how big it gets as far as I'm concerned. The A/V-1RS is a great speaker. I built a pair a couple years ago for a friend and they are very happy with it. I love the design and I just want a little more... always a little more. Our receivers have just as much power for the rears as they do for the fronts. Why not use it!!! I could go with something like the O-3 but I really like the design of the A/V-1RS. Anyway thanks for hearing me out and if anyone else would like something along these lines please chime in!
