boxerfan 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 I am looking for a pair of surround speakers to complement my hifi speakers to form 4.0 HT setup. Any recommendation of reasonably good surround speaker brand/model that I can consider? Need to be 8ohm (my AVR has problems with 6ohm speakers), and to be wall mounted on rear wall. Thanks for any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boxerfan 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Bro What AVR are you using & whats your budget for the surround speakers? Cheers My current setup consist of Harman Kardon AVR5500 + Rogers LS6a fronts + Infinity Primus 100 rear. Having issues with the Infinity coz it is 6 ohm and causes the AVR to cutoff during loud volume. Am sourcing around for surround to replace the Inifinity, and maybe a center. Came across the Mission EH3 bipole surround, what do u think? Budget wise, below $500 for the surround, if can squeeze in center even better. Saving other part of budget for a 2nd hand Focal Spectral 909 that a friend may want to unload, as well as new Plasma TV. Any feedback or comments would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Bro Is your HK 5500 a 6 or 8 ohm receiver? Im thinking u should change your old AVR to a HDMI compliant receiver. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boxerfan 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Receiver is 8 ohm. 75W/ch. Right now the receiver is used for audio only (decode SPDIF from HTPC & drive speakers). All video is HTPC direct to display (either VGA or HDMI, both are connected). Maybe I'll consider upgrading receiver next year. Right now my priority are the speakers...
