You really want the 5in versions... Otherwise the comparison to Sony at this level is 100% subjective.

I have Reference Premiere L/R/C and I got these during the last sale and they work well as surrounds.

I totally agree... with one caveat. Using these as rear sides works really well because of the brighter sound. Since most of the time you hear screaming, nature sounds, gunfire, things like that from the back, having these works well. But if you plan on using them for music, or as fronts, absolutely go with the 15/51s.

Any thoughts about these compared to Klipsch Quintet speakers for sides or rears?

I agree. I have had both 41 and 51. Gave 41s away for a 🎄 present

just fyi, there is a deal for 51 from best buy , not the lowest price, but reasonable https://www.bestbuy.com/site/klipsch-reference-series-5-1-4-340-watt-passive-2-way-bookshelf-speakers-pair-black/6241808.p?skuId=6241808&ref=212&loc=1&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkuP9BRCkARIsAKGLE8VTl9FH_FmqxfhLy6bcWlxYZmXKB9B6pzqyJkgdOkdAU3X_w9Og0ToaAv23EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I'll admit as far as surrounds goes, for that reasoning, it it appropriate. If you are going budget, need only surrounds for theater sound then one could do worse that costs more. Thanks for the insight.

Anyone have these or the 51s on the wall? Seems a bit big, was thinking about just going with the reference theatre pack, not looking for amazing but looking for decent.

Was also eyeing the SVS Prime satellites, want it pretty much out of sight as much as possible with decent sound. It's a 20'x30' family room, mainly movies and casual TV/sports.
