I want to upgrade my rear speakers in my HT system. I am currently using a pair of small, older (8+ yrs) Klipsh 2-way (5-inch woofer, horn tweeter) for the surrounds.Of course, they are monopole and I am thinking of going to bi-polar or di-polar speakers. Price is not really a concern, but frequency response IS a concern. Because of mounting space, they can't be over about 13-inches high.
I have lots of power (200 Watts high-current, available for each channel) - so I think I can drive most any speaker.
-thanks -- Moogie
Comments or suggestions?

There are people on the net who argue AGAINST bipole speakers for the rears. My understanding of the 5.1 standard is to have 5 speakers that are exactly the same plus a sub. If you set up the rears in the same way you set up the fronts, then you won't need a bipole speaker. There are exceptions, but they are rare.So I would say get speakers that more closely match the fronts.
Okcay - so how do I mount N802's on the wall above some windows?
I don't know which brand the N802s are, but I am guessing B&W? No need to mount them on the wall, just set up as if they are another stereo pair at the back of the room. What do you mean you have no space? That is the DD standard, 5 equal sized speakers ;-) A pain, isn't it? I also find the center channel blocks the TV ;-)ANYWAY, all joking aside, I would suggest finding some smallish B&W (if that is what you are using for fronts) speakers for the rears. Luckily for you, B&W makes a wide range of small two ways. I would also look to upgrade centre speaker, before the rear. What other equipment are you using?
