floor standing speakers for surrounds?


I am looking for options on using floor standing speakers for my back two channels instead of book shelfs. does a full range signal go to the surround channels? or would this be wasting my money?

thank you

I as under the impression that after getting to a higher quality amp, the differences between the amps is more a matter how how they make the speaker sound. not so much a "better" amp just more preference on what the listener wants.
Your Anthem Statement P5 is an awesome quality multichannel amplifier that will definitely hold it's own with 2-channel sound quality.

Here is a quote from a review in http://www.hometheatersound.com/equipment/anthem_statement_p5.htm

"but the P5 -- with its high power output, incredible build quality, and first-rate sound -- is just as deserving. It should be considered one of the very best multichannel amplifiers currently available."

I missed the note where you said you were using it for the fronts too. That's why I found it odd that you were relegating it to a side channel amp. I didn't know if you were using mono blocks, etc.
Well the one guy said that floor standing speakers are a waste... I don't thin i am going to a couple hundred page book though. any other ideas?
