rear surround speaker

I am looking for opinion about rear surround speakers. I want decent soound but don't want to invest a huge sum and also don't have the room. it will have to be ceiling or wall mount. the front speakers are avantgarde uno using tom evans amp and placette passive preamp,center channel is martin logan cinema.AV receiver is marantz 7100 with 100 watts per channel. Room is approx 15 wide, 12 deep and 9 high. welcome any ideas. thanks

Audio Advisor has wall-mountable $800/pair JM Lab/Focal surround speakers on sale for $189/pair here.

Otherwise, for wall- or ceiling-mount rear surrounds, I'd go with Mirage Omnisat satellites or NanoSats. They have built-in wall-mounts and are omnidirectional, which is definitely preferred for surround.

If you are interested in going the Mirage Omnisat/Nanosat route, you might want to first try a pair of these:

They use the Omni-directional technology licensed from Mirage and they look very much like a pair of Omnisats. Heck, for $39/pr you could simply throw them away if they don't float your boat.....

Aol,

It was a bad choice of words. Sorry, but I should have said something like "give them away"....

BTW, They apparently make GREAT computer music speakers. Add them to a little self powered computer subwoofer/amp setup and they may be quite good....

Enjoy,
