Rear Speakers For $300 or Less?

[David LoPan]

Must be able to handle 110W per channel, prefferably at 8 ohms. So far the best I've found is the M&K K-5, but those are rather hard to come by.

why not try the polks rti4..for the price the units sound perfect..as I have them as rear speakers

B&W

Is your power source (reciver/amp) justed rated at 110w RMS or are you actully planning on driving your surrounds at 110w? If your power source is simply rated at 110w you could get by with a speaker with a lower rating. The are two offerings from B&W: DM303 and the DM600 S3, both are rated to handle 100w and both can be found within your price range and would make excellent surrounds.

Keep an eye out for a used pair of Ascend Acoustics 170s. Ascend Acoustics was started by a former M&K designer.

Has anyone actually heard either the M&K K-5's or the Ascend Acoustics 170'S?

M&K K5's are nice speakers. The 7's too.

I believe their touted as a very movie-oriented speaker.
Very nice if you like the styling.

Magnolia home theatre in best buys have them pretty consistantly. If you're on the west coast.
