Ok just stumbled on this thread because I'm in a similar boat trying to decide on rear channels. So far I have the T2+, SCXXL, and MPX's on the sides. The room is 12.5'x23'x8'(h).
The MPXs sound fine on the sides, I'm just not blown away by anything though.
Option1: I could buy another pair of them for the rear.
Option 2: or I could go with the Sat 3s. I have another GET 5.1 system in the house with Sat3s all around, so if I went this route, I would look into getting a pair of Sat50s/60s to replace the L/R upstairs, and bring those two Sat3s downstairs for the rears. See? If the difference between Sat3s as rears vs MPXs then this would make a lot of sense.
Option 3: Sat 50s for rears, which I didn't consider before reading this forum. That's a bit more midbass than the Sat3s, but is it going to make much difference at all considering I've got the Triton's, and right now an SVS PB-2000 for a sub with plans to buy a second one maybe next year once the build is done?
**I'm not sure how much room dimensions plays into this decision as a critical factor....it's only 12.5' wide....so is the wider dispersion of the MPXs warranted/necessary/wasted back there?
In weighing these options, I could use some advice but found myself confused by Moderator's statement....they are at very different price points, they can't all sound the same.
