Will stereo speakers work with home theater center and rear speakers?

Question

I do not get good sound in the rear speakers when I use stereo speakers -sansui sp7500 - for the front speakers.Do i need to upgrade to speakers designed for surrond sound?

Answer 1

Your issue stems from a system that is not timbre' matched

Answer 2

To properly hear Surround and Digital Dolby 5.1, not only you need a complete set of speakers, but an amplifier or receiver, known as Home Theater System, that not only have 5 amps, but also the needed Signal Decoding capabilities. It would be inadequate and leading to poor results, to try to use your stereo speakers.

Answer 3

There really is NO speakers designed for surround sound.

But the better system is to have 5 identical speakers so when sounds swirl around - they dont change tone.

You say you do not get good rear sound - you do know your receiver had a setup menu that lets you add/subtract some volume to the rear speakers?  Look for that.
