Surround Speaker Question

I would recommend Triangle Titus for surrounds. They are electrostat fast.
But there are many monitor sized speakers in your price range that will do a fine job.
Good luck.

What speakers do you have for your fronts and what are you using for electronics? If you simply ask what are good surround speakers, I think that's the wrong question. If you get a different brand of speakers than your fronts they likely will not be timbre matched and when you ha e surround effects, especially effects that go between the surrounds and mains, it will sound different.

Secondly, you can either go for direct radiating or dipole surrounds. There are merits to each. Thus you may be able to get a direct radiating speaker (like a bookshelf) version of your fronts. You then have both timbre matching and placement options.

Timbre is not critical for the surrounds. Fronts and center, yes.

I would disagree with that statement... If you go back to the days of Pro-Logic, yes, surrounds were limited to a point where you could use very different speakers than your L/C/R's. Today, the high resolution formats and the amount of information used in the surrounds, you'll head the different right away. Use timbre matched surrounds to your fronts (best would of course to have all identical speakers, but that's not always practical)

Thank you all very much. I am using a Krell HTS preamp, Sherbourn Power, Faroudja DVD/CD, and Martin Logan Source speakers for main
