Better small surround sound speakers than Boston Micro 90x ?

[superedge88]

I have Boston Acoustics Micro 90x surrounds on my home theater. I was thinking about moving them into the bedroom as main speakers matched up with a Klipsch SUB-10 subwoofer which I believe should sound awesome for a modest bedroom theater. I LOVE the size of the Boston Micro 90x speakers for surrounds on my main home theater, so should I be trying to find another set of the same speakers, or should I look to upgrade to a better small surround sound speaker for my home theater? My system is
Denon 2308Cl
Klipsch RC-3 center
Klipsch RF-3 mains
Klipsch SUB-12 sub
Boston Acoustics Micro 90x surrounds

I'm not that familiar with Boston's current offerings but I would probably look at a small Klipsch bookshelf for surrounds to keep a similar sound with the fronts.

The perfect voice/timbre match in the Klipsch line for the RF-3 and RC-3 is the RS-3 surround speaker. I would see if you can find an RS-3 or RS-3 II on ebay for sale. (the Kilpsch S-1 or S-2 would be good alternatives)

Those speakers would definitely match, though they are definitely not as small as the Micro 90x speakers. I may just keep what I got and look for another set for up in the bedroom. I love how these speakers sound!

You should not be able to tell how they sound independently of the other speakers when they are all hooked up, calibrated at the same volume output in the speaker setup routine and playing mutlichannel movie or music sound. The only exception would when the surrounds are playing a distinct sound or sound effect originating in the source.

I'm guessing that maybe you have the rears turned up too loud. The surrounds should blend in seamlessly with the fronts and center and not draw attention to themselves as a distinct source unless they are actually reproducing separate sounds versus their normal ambient sounds.

Just a thought.
