Best qualified surround speakers for home theater

The best speakers have the best cabinets, best crossovers and best internal wiring. Best cabinets means less colouration. Best crossovers means depth and a wide stage. Most speakers even expensive ones all make poor or average crossovers. They give what we call a 2-dimensional stage. Many brands even expensive ones use simple and cheap copper internal wiring. Only a few use pure silver internal wiring. For surround ( also for stereo) you want the best respons ( timing). And speakers with a high spl so they can play loud without any stress. Hoe much money you want to spend to the whole package?

The absolute perfect timbre match would be to use a pair of Casta Acoustics model A's for your surrounds.

Amen. There are much better speakers out there but they are irrelevant and the choice is not made in a vacuum.

the surrounds are a non-critical (a relative term for illustration purposes herein) manufactured sound created my your multichannel processor or multichannel AV receiver that generally does not compare to a hi end 2 channel system.

Hence it generally does not perform the same with the critical expectations and characteristics as a (L-R) two- channel hi-end audio system.

The point: The surround speaker synergy with your L-C-R front speakers and your multi-channel hardware kit is your takeway, but thankfully ameliorated by the non-critical discussion above.
