I have been searching the forums for stuff on the 50's and it all seems to be rather positive. I also found a few post's from folks who are thinking like me, the 80's didn't do it and the 50's did it. Perhaps the lack of a dedicated mid-range? Maybe I don't like mid-range? Who knows but I'm leaning towards the 50's. If I like them, I will ditch my 22's and add another set of 50's in the back. I'm one of those people that in a perfect world (and money was no object) I would run all the same speakers. Everyone would be identical. 50's for the front, back etc.
I have a good buddy of mine who runs all Monitor Audio Silver 5i's for all 5 channels and it sounds amazing.
