I built my current system primarily for music, but find that I'm more frequently using my system for home theater and need to replace my surrounds immediatly.
My system consists of a Pioneer Elite VSX-35TX, Paradigm Monitor 5 V2, Paradigm CC370 V2 centers, and some cheaps Advent speakers for the current surrounds.
The room is fairly small and options for speaker placement is limited. Right now they are positioned directly left and right of the primary listening position mounted about 4 feet overhead facing each other.
I originally thought of looking for a pair of Mini monitors but looking for other recommendations. Everything I've read says that the surround speakers brand should match the fronts, but I was told by a sales person that the information coming out of the surrounds was so minimal that it really didn't matter if they were different brands. Of course this shop doesn't sell Paradigm.
Things were so much easier before surround sound. By the way, first time here, really nice informative site.
