Currently I have a 5.2 system but was considering upgrading to 5.2.2/5.2.4. What are you guys using for height speakers? I have seen the SVS Prime Elevations but those are essentially bookshelves. Do I need a lot of speaker for these channels? Will satellites work just fine?

You can use pretty much any speaker you can mount. Obviously the smaller the easier to work with. I have architectural speakers, which is basically the raw driver or in-wall speakers and mounted mine in a small box I built for my ceiling. They match the other speakers in my system.

What are you other speakers?

Onix Rocket 750s/200 up front and a pair of Neumi BS5s for SS.

Are height channels active enough to justify bookshelf size speakers or will satellites suffice?
