 I realize there is no wall there but you could use stands.  However, since you need stands anyway, why not just get two more RP-260F's?  Would be awesome unless they're right up against the couch and poking into the ear of the outside seats.  

 

Hi,

Thanks for your response. However there is wall just behind the Couch. And i cant get the Floor stander for surround, my wife is already mad at the Boxes and the space it consumes, can't take risk to make her more angrier  . So for Surround i am looking for Bookshelf or Surround, and as i said my couch is next to wall, and probably i use Wall mount for Surround to save some space.

RP260S as front speakers .. I believe its not good as for front since its kind of dipole speaker with wide sound distribution. RP160M would be better choice for FRONT and 250S for surround

Describe the room dimensions a bit more and where your seats are.

 

In theory, the RP160M will make for a nice surround, but it is very large bookshelf speaker and will stick out from the wall significantly.

If either speaker would work well in a given room, I would choose the RP250S any day over most any bookshelf speaker.

The bipolar speakers are a lot of fun and sound amazing.  I have both options in my theaters.  They both work so no stress whichever way you go.  

 

Thanks a Lot for the reply. I have attached my room dimensions, Hope now it makes it more clear. Thanks again for your input

Bookshelf Speakers as Surround speaker. I am planning to setup Klipsch 5.1 (Reference Premiere 260 set) , i have one doubt. RP250S VS RP160M as a Surround Speaker 

Can i use Bookshelf Speaker RP160M as a surround? I listen to music(via Youtube or Radio) and movies (via Netflix). My couch is next to the wall, and most probably i will Wall mount the surround speaker. I have attached my room dimension. 

I already have a pair of RP260F as Front stereo speakers. i have to decide between Bookshelf RP160M VS RP250S (Surround Speaker) , which one would be better , shall i choose dedicated Surround Speaker over Bookshelf or vice versa?

Thanks in advance
