Can these speakers be used for your rear surround speakers?

Yes, the only reason I do not have two pairs is because there is no floor space in the back.

They could - but if it were me, I'd utilize them as rear L and R. I am currently running these as my rear speakers and they are great. However, I feel that if these were my front L and R - I would not be happy. Have you looked into the floor standing reference series towers? I am running those as my fronts with a matching center channel and could not be happier. Hope this helps a bit!

You could. But I would use them for front and rear and buy a dedicated woofer for bass. Mids and highs sound great but if you want some bass a woofer is recommended.

Yes they should work just fine! Mine are hooked up to a 110w/channel 7:1 surround receiver. Placement of the speakers are critical in getting the results so keep that in mind. Check the instructions for speaker placement on your receiver. Mine were hung and angled down to the listening area. Hope this helps.

I used them as rear only I'm sure you could use them as front but normaly you want the front speakers facing you. With that being said I'm sure they would work ok

I don't know but it looks like you can hook up external speakers in the back .... the stereo ones on the set , however, are pretty good.

Don't know. One works well providing surround sound for both rear speakers.

I guess you could since I think that the AVR only provided 90 watts/channel. However these inexpensive speakers don't deliver really robust bass that you might want in rear speakers.

I would stick to using them on the sides or in the rear. I have mine as the rear speakers and they work great. I have a 7.1 system but these are wired as the side speakers and the side speakers wired as the rear. I did this because for some reason when they were wired as the rear speakers the volume was quite low compared to the sides. Now the side speakers (wired as the rear) just fill in the gap between front and rear because of the lower volume. Most shows play in 5.X anyways so it sounds great.

these are designed for front and back channels. Would sound better if you had a center speaker. these make good surround sound speakers

i wouldn't recommend it .... as these speakers are meant to be used with an A/v receiver as the rear surround channel and love to be powered ...

I have a 6.1 system and use them for the 5.1 portion with my previous JBL surround for the center rear (6). Your 6-7 are the same as my 4-5 so you should be fine. I'm assuming that your 4-5 are the side surround and not the rear? I would use them in rear since the side surrounds aren't really critical for the overall surround effect. (IMHO)

I agree with Douglas K. I use them as he does and believe they would do great as rear speakers.

Not sure. I use them for rear speakers for my surround sound. I have a denon receiver and they work fine.

It would be ok, but I use these for the rear speakers in my surround setup since they can be mounted on the wall. I prefer the ES20's for the front left/right.

I think they can be mounted in the rear as long as there is sufficient room. If it is too small of a space, try the Pyle 5 1/4 size speakers instead.

I was under the impression that this was intended for use with rear channel only. I don't know how well it would work with front channel speakers or, really, why you would want to.
