RB-5 II or RS-52 II for surrounds?

Currently running RB-5s as side surrounds.  They are great.  Do you think RS-52s would perform better as surrounds?  Obviously the RS series intended purpose is as a surround speaker.

Due to my room layout they're positioned about 2.5 feet beside/behind my couch.

No room for the RBs as rear surrounds otherwise I'd put the RB behind me and RS on the side.  It's one or the other.

At a close distance the rs series will perform better by helping disperse the high frequencies.  Both work but a direct monopole is harder to manage up close and imo only should be done by placing them up at least a foot above ear level.  At 2.5 feet and with depth close to a foot that driver is right in your head!
