Bookshelf Size Poll

I'm curious to see what size bookshelf speakers you all have? If you guys haven't purchased a bookshelf what size would be most appealing?

Also, what influenced your decision to purchase that size speaker? Feel free to post which bookshelf speaker(s) you own.

Thanks!

I got a 07 bookshelves (JBL), being 02 E-50's as L/R mains & 04 E-30's as surr./surr.backs (center is an EC-35 & sub is an SVS PB-10).

Cheers / Avliner.

I have a pair of Mirage OMNI 50's for rear surrounds in my 7.1 setup. Since they are doing surround duty they work just fine.

Just curious, why did you have all options as smaller than 6" or larger than 7" when most bookshelf speakers have 6.5" midranges?

Astute observation!

If you have a 6.5" woofer then go ahead and reply to the 7" version in the poll.

Sorry about that

Mine are Klipsch 6.5" MT (RB61.) I chose them because they have the greatest bass extension of any bookshelf I have seen for under $1000/pr.

Paradigm Reference Studio 20v.3's, love them. 7" midrange/bass driver and 1" aluminium dome tweeter. Most of you probably didn't need that info though. Many of you are very familiar with these as well.

Dynaudio 52SE. I put them in the 6-inch category, despite a 6.5ish inch woofer. The cabinet on these is fairly small. Tons of bass though.

I got Ascends with 6.5" midranges, which I voted as 6" or under. 5 foot 11 and 3/4 is not 6 feet after all (from the Everybody Loves Raymond episode)
