Yes, u can buy just the rear speaker. There are 2 type of rear speaker in the market; direct or bi-pole/di-pole. For direct, you can use those small book shelf speaker. The surround sound will be directed to the listener ear. As for bipole or dipole, the sound will be more disperse as it will reflect off the wall. You need to test both type to see which one you prefer. As for recommendation, u need to specify your budget. Go to Amcorp Mall and test out some speaker there if you are from kl.

ah ok.thanks for your input bro. my budget is no more than rm600 for a pair of the rear speakers. what is ur recommendation for the speakers? will def go to armcorp mall if i have time soon.

My personal preference is bipole/dipole as I prefer a wider sound for the surround. You can consider Mission MH3 or Wharfedale WH2. For small book shelf, can consider Mission M30i. CMY is selling the same OEM (Denon SC-M51) for only RM390.

You can go to Desa Home Entertainment in Lowyat Plaza, there is a salesman there named Gam, i think. i bought my set from him, polk audio is very nice speaker.

PSB Alpha B1 - RM600 from A&L Audio in Sg Wang, Amcorp Mall and IOI Mall.

cool info guys. thanks for the additional inputs bro htkaki n macaulai. am very grateful for it. will go to amcorp n sg wang area tomorrow to survey.
bro macaulai, any idea how much the polk speaker is selling? want to put it on my list.

guys can anyone recommend movies that really work the rear speakers?

try THX or DD or DTS demo movie....

there should be a lot of work from rear speaker

most sound came out from center, then front, rear and sub are just additional.

I second this. I think the price has went up a bit about 650.

I think most of the horror movies will do.

Anyone using PSB s50 rear speakers? Are they ok?

I like the Transformers. Good effects and good surround. Especially during the scene when A10 and C130 were blasting the scorpion in the desert and at the end when robots were battling each other.

any one knows a PSB dealer in Penang? Interested in the S50 surround spkrs

PSB dealer is A&L Audio Station Sdn Bhd

Wharfedale Diamond 9.1, price is around rm750~900, nice bookshelf speaker.

Forget the rest. Just get yourself Klipsch RS-42
