markvent Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi my present setup consists of Quintet IV Center, Front R & L, with MTX 1010 powered subwoofer and Onyko SR706 AV receiver. I am expanding to 5.1 setup and ask anyone's recommendation on what would match best as add on for rear speakers to my present setup . Either a pair of Synergy B3 or KS14 ? A quick reply is greatly appreciated as I must make a decision by tomorrow latest due to ebay deadline. Thx a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Bookself and the wide dispersion speakers will work. Depending on your room layout and future plans, let that guide your choice. I have wide dispersion speakers high up on the wall and use bookshelf speakers as rears. Determine the footprint you want your system to have. I like room asthetics in conjunction with my sound system, so a smaller footprint works for me. With the Qintet's, you are not looking for speakers to handle a wide frequency range and your sub will be an intergral part of your system.

derrickdj1 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The KS 14's are widedispersion speakers. They send out sound in a 180 degree arc. Bookshelf speaker are direct radiating, the sound travel right at the listener. The KB 15 is a bookshelf speaker sold at BB. See which one you can get a better deal on. Where are you going to put them? Will you need speaker stands or is wall mounting an options? The KB 15 has slightly more power and a larger frequency range.
