MY SETUP:

I currently have the following:

MA GR-60s for front Left and right
MA Gold center for center channel
MA GR-10 bookshelves for rears.

MY LISTENING:

I want to upgrade to 6.1 or 7.1. My receiver has Dolby Pro Logic II for 7.1 which I would like to take advantage of. My listening is 75% music and 25% movies.

CURRENT SPEAKER POSITION:

I have my rears set up directly to the side currently. The center rear channel will go right behind my couch on a coffee table that is up against the back of the couch. There is a big opening behind the couch so I can't mount the speaker on the wall.

QUESTION:

I would like to purchase one speaker for the center rear channel is possible (for budget and aesthetics reasons). I can, however, go to a pair if it will sound better.

Since I listen mostly to music what would you recommend? A single GRFX ( http://www.monitoraudiousa.com/products/gold/index.html ) for the rear, a single GR-10 bookshelf, or another Gold Center channel? Keep in mind that the speaker will only be 1-2 feet from my head.

What would you guys recommend? Should I get a single speaker for the back or a pair? Center channel, bookshelves, or bi-pole?

Thanks in advance!
