Sorry if this turns out to be a duplicate post. Not sure what happened to the first one. Perhaps it went to moderation for using the word Beolab too many times. LOL  Not knowing where or why it went, I am reposting the question.

I am starting to consider buying a pair of BL50s to replace my 20s. Currently I have 12-3s wall mounted as rears. Any opinions which would be better as rears if I get the new speakers? 12-3s wall mounted or the 20s?  Clearly the 20s are the better speaker, but the height of the wall mounted speakers seems preferable for rears?

Thanks in advance!

I personally use bl18's as rears and am very happy with them. I'd be happy too with some bl12-3 as they're f***ing gorgeous and are slightly more powerfull than the bl18's, not that that's needed. I'd say, keep em as rears!

In your postiion i would take the 12-3 for exact that reason. Or put the 20 on a socket.
