Bic or Athena surrounds

[BLISS]

O.K. I am trying to decide which one would be the better surround choice. The Athena AS-R1 rears or the Bic Venturi DV-5 surrounds. I have yet to find one person who has heard the Bic DV-5's. The reason I am considering bic is because I already have the Bic 62clr-s center and I am trying my best to stay timbre matched. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Here is a link to the bics and note that the dome tweeter is identical to that of the bics center.

Do you mean DV52?

No, I mean DV5-Black by bic. Here is the speaker on amazon..

I know that it is not a well known speaker, but it is part of the well regarded Bic Venturi line.

I have not listened to the DV5's you referenced, but I have listened to the DV-26's (another part of the Venturi line), and I did not like the sound at all. I have, and love the sound of my DV62si's (which I use as my surround speakers). I also have DV52si's, which I decided to keep as presence speakers, even though I do not think they sound as good as the DV62si's. If you are trying to match the DV62CLR-S, I don't think you can do any better than the 62si's, and they are not much more than the DV-5's you are looking at.

Well I went ahead and went with the Athena AS-R1's. for my rear surround. I run a 6.2 setup, so I need to purchase one more for my back rear. So far I am impressed, but I hate to mix brands since I currently have the well regarded Bic 62clr center. I think that I will buy the Bic DV 64 towers so that my fronts are all timber matched.

Or get 2 more DV62clr's! That is also a good combo!
