These are what I use for surround speakers (Acoustat Model 1, not my picture). They are augmented with an Acoustat SPW-1 woofer cabinet.


I use Magneplanar 1.7's with dual TL subs for the front speakers. Acoustat Spectra 22's are my preferred speakers. They are currently sidelined while I hunt up a transformer for one of them.

I have Swan R3’s for my surrounds it’s a dipole configuration utilizing two 6.5in woofers, two 1in tweeters and they’re heavy for surround speakers. Home theater doesn’t get much use these days but it’s still there for the occasional movies with the family.

I've used Emotiva ERD-1 surrounds for about 10 years, no plans on changing them. They are a dipole/bipole, user's choice via switches. I use them in dipole mode which defuses the sound so no direct sound hits me. One is about 5' - the other 9' from my ears. Mono-poles would be very directional at 5'. I cross them in the Yamaha 2070 AVR at 90hz.

The choice of surround speakers depends on which version Dolby or other formats you are using. I just use conventional 3 way point source speakers for the rears and sides. The side speakers I change their orientation depending on the sound I want. Sometimes I point them up, or directly at me or way off axis.

I was using bookshelves I switched because it felt too directional , my side surrounds are pioneer Andrew jones floorstanders . These take up less wall space too ok my shelf.
I nearly bought these https://www.energy-speakers.com/home-theater-systems/?sku=CF-70-5-1
But I got klipsch instead, I miss those unusual energy woofers with tweeter looking thing in the middle .
Wish Ida kept them. And had both types of klipsch, energy etc,

Don't know if il ever re buy these , what are those full Rangers ?....so odd looking
