I am new to this forum, but am fishing for some advice regarding the best way to finish off a 5.1 system, with speakers of the same type and model as the fronts or speakers designed to be rear surrounds.
While I have always been somewhat of a stereo enthusiast, my ventures into home theater have been limited to picking up a Yamaha RX-V795 receiver and the Klipsch Quintet system. While the Quintets are fine for what they are, my room is too big for them and I need to upgrade.
I also have a pair of Infinity Overture 1's in storage after getting bitten by a Magnepan bug. I have also recently picked up a new old stock Overture Center Channel. While my first thoughts were to pick up another pair of the Overture 1s for the rears, my internet browsing has taken me to rear surrounds such as Infinity's ES-25, etc. I can't say I've ever heard the difference between a mono/bi-pole/di-pole and I am currious as to whether they would create more of a wall of sound desired for rears. I'm also concerned that these may well be seldom heard by comparison.
Sorry about the length of this. Any thoughts are appreciated.
