I am purchasing an Energy package today from Future Shop.  I have 2 RC-70 and a RC-LCR for a centre.  I need some help for surrounds.  I need something small in size, so I was thinking about the RC-Mini bookshelves for surrounds located at about 7 feet off the ground.  I heard that 2 RC-Mini Centers are a better option for surrounds?   Any thoughts?

Hi Ali,

I'm not sure why someone would think that RC MINI CC would be better as surrounds.(?!?) If they are mounted vertically (not like a centre channel) they would have better dispersion in the horizontal plane.

If you plan on mounting them on the wall then RC MINI SAT is more than a fine option since THEY come with a bracket! The CC does not!

The bracket will allow for a nice neat installation and will allow you to aim the speaker accordingly. RC MINI SAT are cheaper too! and actually have better bass than the CC (one woofer in a cabinet is better than two in a somewhat larger volume).

I think I threw in my two cents. . . . Go for the RC MINI SATs
