The home theater surrounds (aka 5.1) and rear surrounds (aka 7.1) will serve dual duty as both home theater speakers as well as whole house audio speakers.
These speakers will be wired with automatic speaker selectors, and speaker volume controls. The whole house audio input will be the secondary input. The home theater will be the primary audio input. When the home theater is on, the whole house audio signal will be ignored.
Since the home theater speakers are definitive (BP2004), it made sense to use definitive speakers are the surround channels as well. These are bipolar speakers, meaning they have 2 speaker drivers that work simulataneously to produce sound in 2 directions at the same time.
Here are the specs.
