My brother is putting together a home theater and I was hoping to get some opinions from the experts.
SCMS-1 or 805S for the rear speakers.
They will be very close to the seating area. Pretty much at ear level or slightly above and within 1-3 feet of the listener.
He has been trying to cut costs so he is looking for both used. The SCMS are obviously designed for this but rarely do you find a used pair. The 805S if purchased will be secured firmly to a shelf in the appropriate area. Will this affect sound quality as it may not be the most secure way to mount. ( doesn't want to put on stands because of floor space). Will be using mostly for movies but is being drawn more and more to the DVD-Audio and SACD so sound quality is important.
The front speakers are 803D's and HTM3S for the center.(sadly this was my exact set up until my company downsized me).
I would like to hear from the experts. Thanks

Especially since I've just ended more than a decade of Paradigm Studio Reference speaker ownership to join...
