ideas for back 2 in 7.1

[b-dub]

Hey everyone,

I've had my ascends almost 2 years now. I have a 340 center, 170 L/R and 200 surround L/R.

I recently moved into a larger place that will accommodate a 7.1 setup. I am interested in finding some small on wall speakers to match the ascends for around $150 a pair. Not looking for anything too fancy, just something that well pan decently with the ascends, but smaller and cheaper than the 200's.

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Thanks!

I don't know what would be a good match at $150/pr. Is another pair of HTM-200's out of the question?

For $200 you might consider these, although I have no personal experience. OTOH, they're back-ordered for 2 months, and unless funds are very tight, I suspect another pair of HTM-200s would be well worth the extra $98 (incl. shipping).

Yeah, get two more 200s. You've spent the money you've spent; timbre is important...I'm surprised everyone isn't jumping on this. Get a few less-expensive coffees, or beers, or whatever, for a couple of months and get two more 200s.
