Me-262

Thanks !

Looking at the specs each pair of speakers appears roughly the same. Is there any significant difference that would sway me one way or the other ? These will be used as rear surround speakers for a 5.1 system. And then, which would be better suited to my needs ? The room will be about 13x17 and the other speakers to match are : SF-3 floor standing RC-35 center channel Subwoofer is to be replaced at later date Denon AVR-889

We're moving to a new house and my wife would like me to take this opportunity to replace the rear surround speakers which are wall mounted with an in-wall set. My current setup is Front: SF-3 Center: RC-35 Rear surround: SS-3 The new family room will be 18x15, just a bit larger than our current room. I'm looking at the in-wall speakers such as RCW-5, R-3650-W, R-5650-S, RCW-3 and not really sure which ones to get. They are going to be mounted directly behind the couch as that's the only space available in-wall for them. This is the layout of the house, the in-wall speakers will go on the back wall (indicated with red squares in diagram) http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/GT_Wagon/misc/2011%20House%20Build/Home%20Theatre/1.jpg Where would you suggest buying them for a decent price ? I see plenty for sale NIB on Ebay from what appears to be reputable dealers. Second: We would like to install some in-wall secondary speakers in our dining room (again see diagram above) to have ambient music while entertaing guests. SQ doesn't have to be top notch or loud, just clean sound. I have a Denon receiver with A/B front channel speakers capability to power them. I'm open to either in-wall or ceiling speakers (I imagine in-wall will be easier for me to wire/install as I'm not sure I can do it before the drywall goes in ). Which speakers would you recommend ? Should I go with the traditional square style or the round design ? Does it matter if the square ones in the ceiling or the round ones in the wall ? ) Roughly what height would you place them ?

Its pretty tough to find white surrounds period. If I were to use bookshelf speakers how much of a difference in sound would it make ? I do have a set of RB-5's I am not using. How important is it that I stay with a 6.5 woofer for the surrounds ? Would dropping down to a 5 or 4 inch really make a significant difference ? The Reference surrounds are nice but very pricely. I'd rather not drop another $500 for a set.

I'll start off with my current setup: Yamaha HTR 5760 7.1 reciever Front speakers Klipsch SF-3 Center Klipsch SC-1 (soon to be replaced by something larger) Surrounds Klipsch SS-3 Sub Harmon Kardon 10" self powered Currently the rear surrounds are on stands which are about 36 inches off the floor. I want to mount them on the walls however a) My wife hates them (says they're too big) The pillar on one side were I would mount the Right SS-3 is just a bid narrower than the SS-3 so it will stick out. Did I mention my wife hates them ? Her compromise: I can mount smaller speakers on the wall. My compromise: I'll take her compromise into consideration as I do a little research. So, my question is: What would make a good set of replacement speakers for the SS-3's that would also match the rest of my system and not break the bank ? I would sell the SS-3's to generate some of the $$$. Would bookshelf type speakers suffice or should I stick with a HT style surround speaker with angled horns like the SS-3 ? Something tall and thin would appease my better half. I'll say in advance , the primary function of this system is watching movies in a 14x17 room.
