Surround Theater Speakers Suggestions

AVSForum also

Right, but this IS the Home Theater section, yes?

Oh no. I guess my post on a surround sound preamp will get me shunned as well.

I do have Sonus Faber Concertos from 2004 and when I blew the woofer I was able to get a replacement and was easy to install.  I would try to google a replacement / repair part to fix whatever was blown first is that is an option for you.  usually not much money either.

I've been amazed by the sound and convenience of the Sony HT A9.  I use it everyday, whereas I rarely used the Bryston SP3 and KEF LS50s..

A friend of mine used in-ceiling speakers located a couple feet behind the main seating and it worked really well.  Being in the ceiling produced a nice, distant, diffused sound that blended very well and produced a very enveloping and immersive experience. It was so good (and so unobtrusive) that when I do my HT I’m gonna set up my rear speakers this way.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.
