Any recommendations? I see now alot of people use "Bookshelf" speakers as their rears ... I need some better rears.
 
Any thoughts on Monitor 30s or 40s by polk audio bookshelf speakers as rears ... or other recommendations in that price range ? $200 a pair or less ...

I've got Energy RVSS's for my side and rear surrounds. They were specially designed for rears as they are dipole speakers. The sound field out of them is really nice. Too bad Energy doesn't make them anymore. I searched for 2 years to find a pair when I upgraded from 6.1 to 7.1 sound surround
 
I've since used some Polk Audio low end standing towers normally as fronts as my rears for like 1.5 years ... due to making room for other stuff in my cave ive gone back to the bookshelf.
