Converting 5.1 Into 7.1, Which Speakers?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I'm trying to make sure I get the correct complementary speakers to turn my system into a 7.1 system. I already have a 7.1 AVR and plenty of extra cable so it's just a matter of plugging in two more speakers.
If I have this: http://www.shopcerwinvega.com/detail/CER+CMX-51/CMX-51
This is what I think I need, correct? http://www.shopcerwinvega.com/product_detail.asp?T1=CER+CMX-5

The only issue is that they would probably end up being on the floor and I don't know if that would affect the sound negatively. My current setup is three speakers directly behind my computer monitor and two speakers above and behind that same monitor. I don't exactly have a way to prop up two new speakers behind me as all I have behind me is my bed. I'm certainly not getting the tower speakers as those are far too expensive. I suppose I could always put the speakers on top of small stools.

Well I went ahead and bought them since the specs for those speakers seem to match the specs for the 5.1 system. There's a good sale going on at Guitar Center right now.
