I have B&W 683 front speakers and HTM61 Center Channel. Looking for rear speakers. I have heard from several people that it is not as important to keep with the same brand manufacturer or line as it is with fronts and center channels. So, can anyone give me some of the better rear speakers on the market? |

While the sound from the rears may not be considered by some to be as critical as that from the fronts, if you like the B & W's that you already have there is no better speaker for the rears than the matching B & W's.
Sticking with the same brand would avoid several issues with the most critical being impedance matching. |

Thanks Jim.
Given your post do you or anyone else out there have any knowledge about the B&W DS3 rear speaker. It functions in both dipole and monopole. So, I guess that's a plus. Appreciate any opinions if anyone has listened to them. |

Hi Sherman.
My rear speakers are the cheapest speakers that B&W makes: LM1s. They sound great. So, any B&W speakers you get for the rears will be fine.
My understanding is that bi-pole/di-pole speakers are best used as side surrounds rather than rears. You can contact B&W via Customer Support on thier web site and ask them about this. They will respond.
