Recommend some cheap speakers for rear surrounds

[SAWYER]

I dont need anything special. I have been considering some monoprice speakers since I have been impressed by their headphones. I was reading that their speakers are a rebadged version of nice speakers. I really do not want to spend more that 50-100 and do not mind buying used,

Fluance sells some pretty cheap surround speakers. Fo you require dipole/bipole?

 

[SAWYER]

No regular speakers are fine

On sale for $50 / pair + $2 shipping.

(they don't have any holes for wall mounts, so they need to be put on shelves, though)

My local BB had the Boston Acoustic Soundware cubes for $59 each. I didnt need em' but I got a pair. Regular price was $99.

Quoted for how much of a steal it is.

I wish I needed 7.1 just to have an excuse to buy these...or 9.1...or 11...

Monoprice Speakers or Parts Express Dayton Speakers. Those are the cheap speakers I'd get. I'd probably get the Dayon's just for their reputation with speakers/subs even though it's probably of the same quality as Monoprice or the Pioneers.

The Dayton are more efficient, if it matters. The Pioneer S21 have 4 inch woofers, the S41s (which are the ones I bought on sale) are better.

Those Pios are really inefficient. For cheap surrounds I'd just get indoor/outdoor Monoprice or the like. They come in white and have brackets/mounts in the packaging.

Listed Pioneers offer terrific sound for the money, but are horrible inefficient. How cheap is cheap?

i'd sell you my old JBL speakers for $50 if you are around the DC/MD/VA area.

used... Anthony Gallo Micro TI or Nucleus off ebay. I can't believe they go for $50-$70. They're usually $200+ new.

They're perfect for surround since they're small and can be placed where they need to be without bothering the wife (or future wife) too much. Their mid-range is very good, just don't expect any extended highs or lows. It's a single speaker, but one of the better ones.

I also tried the Boston Acoustics SoundWare. It's not as even sounding as the AG's but it's great for surround.

Other tiny surround speakers I suggest used:

Orb Audio (AG Micro TI, Nucleus) identical clone
Mirage NanoSat
Morel SoundSpot ($80 new off ebay)

With smaller surrounds, you'll want to reflect the sound against the wall to disperse it. If not you can place a some type of decoration that isn't flat in front of it.
