I have fxia4 rears and I think they sound great but i noticed on frys.com they have r50 towers for 60 bucks a pop...I doubt it but would these sound better then my fxia4 rears?

I am using them as 5.1 my room is not big enough for 7.1 couch is backed up against a wall

If your backed up against the wall, where would you put the 50's? They need room. I take it the others are wall mounted, one would put you at ear level while the other is up higher.

Its a toss up, worst that can happen is that you now have a new 2 channel for another room.
