My question is that. Are surround speakers designed differently from front speakers? And what would the penalty be for using front bookshelf speakers as rear speakers?
I ask this as even though I have a 5.1 setup 90% of its time it is playing TV (no surrond use) or playing CD-audio (all speakers treated the same). I am worried about putting two small rear speakers there as when I turn up the volume for a CD I might kill them.
This is my first post here so I will take some time to introduce you to my setup.
Onkyo 494 receiver
Audioline AL 600 front speakers
DTX 5.5C center
no rears ATM
no Sub ATM
The Audioline fronts have 10" drivers so the lack of bass from not having a sub is covered but I do plan on getting something better eventually.
Oh If you have a recommendation for a set of rears then my budget is $400-$500 AUS or about $200-$250 US. My choice of music is Funk Rock Pop.
Thanks for your help
