Hello! I have a motherboard which supports 7.1 [Maximus Hero VI] so a while ago i bought these 5.1 speakers; http://www.microlab.com/?r=51systemen&st=full&id=649.

I have a great 5.1 surround system now but what i am wondering is can i combine my M-1910 with other speakers to make a 7.1 or a 7.2 surround.

I basically lack the Rear Surround Channel.

If i can do something like that, what is your recommendation for a 2.0 or 2.1 speaker to act as the rear surround.

Hello,

You will need only a stereo system to act as SIDE speakers, something like this:

You already have a subwoofer; if you feel it is underpowered, you must use an active subwoofer directly connected to...

Yea, a set of side speakers will work just fine. Will need to be powered like the Microlab speakers above and basically you'll have one wire (Think its the white audio jack on motherboard?) connected to the primary speaker which has an rca out for the other speaker.

The Sub output on the motherboard will already be occupied by the 5.1 set so it wouldn't be possible to combine another 2.1 unless you have Y split joiners then you might able to get away with it.

Too much hassle, unless he uses two identical subwoofers; each subwoofer will have its own response, leading to one of them to sound louder than the other.

I haven't tried it myself but being 3.5mm jacks you can do anything with them. Would just need to room balance with sub control volume if it has one or by placement.

But you're probably right though, unless its a .2 a/v receiver with room balancing it would be a hassle.
