Hi,

A couple of months ago I asked for opinions on rear surround speakers to match n-sats, n-cent and n-sub, and although no suitable answers were put forward one or two others appeared to have the same requirement.

I have finally set up the system with Monitor Audio 90's filling the role of rears. These are tiny little things and I have them in a gloss black finish. They fit in visually very well indeed.

To my ears they also sound like a good fit too.

With my son'ss PS3 playing a war game the voices and explosions coming from the rear were not out of place. Watching a couple of films on Sky also gave a balanced presentation, and after the initial analysis I didn't find myself thinking much about the components of the system, which I think is a good sign that they will continue to prove a good solution over time.

I haven't got a 5.1 music source, so cannot comment on that aspect, but for the requirement of 5.1 movie/game I can happily recommend the Radius 90s as a match for the n-series.

As always audition for yourself if possible before parting with your cash!

Hope that helps.

I have SpeakerCraft Aim 8 Fives ceiling mounted for my rear speakers, with the n-Cent, n-Sub and SBL's for left and right...they're great but quite pricey at £750 each

I would buy a second set of nSats, maybe second hand, even in a different finish. I have seen some great buys on Audiogon, where I bought my perfect first set. Bet they are around your s/h market, too.
