Klipsch SS1 vs Bose 201 Series V

[RocknRollBen]

Hello
I know speakers are an individual's opinion but I was just wondering what members would prefer for L and R front surrounds: if given the choice between these two, Klipsch SS1 or Bose 201 Series V?
Thanks

choose the one that matches closest to your rears and center, the bose 201's aren't bad. but in a stereo configuration I'd probably choose the klipsch though I haven't heard them...the klipsch will be more sensitive than the bose speakers meaning they will get louder with the same amount of power. With surround you want the same speakers as they will be voiced the same and have the same sensitivity, otherwise it may sound kind of funky

I'd think that direct/reflecting is exactly what you don't want, since with a surround system, the ambiance is supposed to be provided by the surround channels rather than the front speakers.

eh, I think a 5.1 setup with bose 301's would be pretty interesting with a decent sub other than bose. I haven't heard 201's, but I think the 301's are decent speakers.
