Eltax HT Bipolar 2's or Mission 701's as rears

I've got some nice bassy pioneers as the fronts, going for the mission 70c1 as centre, not bothering with a sub at the moment.

Eltax HT Bipolar 2's or Mission 701's as rears

Which out of the above 2 would be best for rears. They've both got good reviews and I'm still undecided.

Unless you have a big room, the 701's will be too overpowering as rears i feel. Stick with the Eltax's, or get 700's.

IMHO of course ;)

The 701s would certainly have the most 'beef' I would have thought. This could be a problem, but the amp should be capable of allowing you to balance the levels around the speakers to limit them a bit. It always leaves you some headroom then.

Fair point, Just.

I must admit to liking Bipolars as rears though. I've got a pair of Mordaunt Short ones and they work really well I feel. Don't know how they compare to the Eltax ones though. How will you have your rears positioned? (behind, to the side...)

Yep, agreed, maybe the DS missions then :D

To the side.
