HUGE Spacious Surrounds - The

Hello "A" Team,

Has anyone tried the 901 direct/reflecting design as surrounds with or without a dedicated surround sub? 901's can be hung upside down by their feet and handle 450 watts.

I can extend the bottom end by adding a REL Storm II to the surrounds if required.

The reason for inquiring: My current in-ceiling Klipsch reference coaxials have allot of competition. I have a much larger center (pair of RF-7's connected in mono) and large, powered fronts. My main system has a SVS Ultra 13 with a Proceed AVP2 +6/AMP 5.

Thoughts, ideas and thanks!

I've often felt that the Bose 901s would make good surrounds, especially with analog Dolby ProLogic, or if you can't go with 7.1. Properly set up they should definitely fill in the back half of the room. With digital you'd definitely want to use the active equalizer to get some treble.

However, time does march on. These days, for a small unobtrusive surround with room-filling hemispherical dispersion and a light, airy treble, I much prefer the Mirage Omnisat satellites, or OMD-5s.
