7.1 upgrade,what speakers ?

[dazmd]

I'm using a Yamaha 757 with AE Evo 5.1's,now i'm very happy with this set up,very happy but i thought i might pick up 2 more speakers to make it 7.1 but not sure what would complement this set-up. They will be high up on the wall so would prefer sat's,so if someone has this set-up and has done the same would love to hear what you've used and if your happy with em. I've been looking at mission M7DS's so any suggestions would be appreciated...

The natural suggestion would be the small bookshelfs from AE.

But be aware that 7.1 is mostly not what it's cracked up to be, especially in small to medium sized rooms.

I do like the AE's so might have a look at the small rear's or even just pick up one. I've now tried the 6.1 and that sounds ok so might just stick to that,i've noticed people on hear talking about using a centre at the rear so would these be ok for the extra speaker ?

Yes they work just fine, theres very little ouput from the6/th channel anyway, even with DTS ES stuff IMO.
