Hello ASR members,
TL;DR: Are Revel speakers a good match for JBL in a 5.1 system?
My current surround set up is a mix of speakers. Front mains are JBL 708P. Center is JBL 306P. Surrounds (L&R) are ATC SCM7 (v1). I am thinking of making the system consistent by replacing the ATCs with speakers that match the JBL. But they need to be passive (no power outlet nearby). I am also looking for a reasonable upgrade while I am at it. The ATCs sound too small and I am not getting the surround effect I would like. I am also limited by space (max 14" height). The dipole Revel S206 would just about fit.
Would any Revel bookshelf be a decent match or should I stick with JBL? I say "decent" because when watching movies/TV, its not a huge deal - I just want bigger speakers that would fit.
The 705i is an option but not sure if it would be an upgrade of the ATCs. They are both 5" woofers.
Thanks.
