Your story seems to be changing quite a bit. First it's about a stereo set up, then about rear surround speakers, and now about the entire 5.1 HT system. So it's really hard to offer any consistent advice.

I suggest you first decide what you are going to replace. If it's the entire 5.1 HT system, then the rear surrounds are the last thing to worry about. You need to decide on the front speakers first and the rear surrounds can then follow.
