    Re: Rear speaker help

    Is your sofa up against the wall or where abouts is it situated?

    Where are your current speakers and how are they positioned?

    Re: Rear speaker help

    Currehnt speakers are floor standers and are positioned either side of the tv as far into the corners as I can.

    Its for a bedroom setup so the rear speakers will be wall mounted.

    Re: Rear speaker help

    Have you looked at the QAV Rears ?

    QAV BMR I think they are called, they look quite nice, get good reports and are quite deiscrete too, so long as you get the cabling right

    For any set-up people often recommend trying to get the same brand of speakers all around to get a more balanced set-up.

    As for the QAV (Q Acoustics) I don't think there are many other people that do such a good set-up. See if you can find any second hand going as they are usually < &#163;50, otherwise &#163;80 isn't an awful lot to pay, although it depends on what you and your missus thinks about it though.

    Just factor in that rear speakers never seem to do a lot

    Re: Rear speaker help

    They do look pretty amazing

    Im wondering if getting a sub might be a better bet atm.

    Im looking at getting B and w 603`s at some point i think although its been a few years since I last looked at speakers.

    Join AVF some very knowledgeable people on there. Although like on here you can spend a LOT of time. The trader section always gets the occasional gem or two

    As for subs I have no experience, though people seem more than happy to spend > &#163;500 on something that makes the room shake. I just have a Jamo A102HCS5 set-up with the standard sub at the moment and it does enough for me with movies.

    I have a pair of 1000C (Q Acoustic) Centre speakers as L+R channels for music - because I'm cheap like that. They sound good though Just a bit gutted I didn't buy a third as well.

    Re: Rear speaker help

    General rule of thumb is to stick to the same make of speakers for a surround set, i would suggest getting eltax rear speakers of your choice.
