    Default Which surrounds?

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but I didn't see a thread on it. If it has been discussed, my apologies on a repeat thread.
    Need a surround recommendation for a 5.2 with towers RAAL and Horizon center.
    I like the idea of 2's with the RAAL, but wonder how close they match the towers.
    My other thought is 1's custom made with the matching RAALs.
    I realize for HT the surrounds aren't as critical. I'm more concerned about a good match when watching live recordings on SACD in surround format or when listening in 4ch stereo.
    Your thoughts are appreciated.

    In this thread, Rob describes the difference between the Horizon and sierra 2s as very subtle. I think sierra 2s as surrounds would be perfect. http://forum.ascendacoustics.com/sho...ght=#post50786

    From the reports I've read regarding the similarities of the Sierra-2's and the RAAL Towers, I agree with natetg57. They should sound more alike than different.

    Thanks Nate, Mag. I suspected the 2's were very close. In fact, this was my original thought for surrounds. Thanks.
