“Stereo vs. surround sound performance. I have a Rotel STEREO (NOT a surround sound) amplifier. Two speakers are wired to the front of the system. I want to add two 12-inch B&W speakers to the rear of my living room via a Rocketfish kit in order to create a "quad" system. Are they compatible? How good will the fidelity be? Will there be annoying buzz, hum, etc.?”

Wendy, The Rocketfish works well for me for small surround speakers. The information provided with the unit doesn't indicate the amplifier specs, but it is not very large in size and is probably designed to drive very small speakers typical for all in the box surround systems. I would question whether the unit has sufficient power to drive larger speakers, and when you say "12 inch" speakers, I can only assume that you are referring to cone size. If the speakers are truly that large, I wouldn't expect the Rocketfish to drive them very well. If you are referring to the speaker cabinet size in some way, then maybe you have a better chance of it working, but even then you might try to get some info from the manufacturer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should work this way without any buzzing or anything like that.
