Hi,
I am new to the Polk scene. I recently purchased RTI12's, 505 sub and CSi5 centre. I also purchased Rti4's for the surrounds which i am happy with.

Since then I have decided to use the RTi4's for rears and to purchase new surround speakers, going the full 7.1 home theatre config.

Haveing read thru the forums/reviews etc on speakers, I am undecided whether to purchase FXi5's or RTi6's for the surround speakers.

If anyone has any suggestions as to which speakers FXi5's or RTi6's or any other speakers which would be more suitable given what I already have I would greatly appreciate any thoughts/comments etc.

I am no guru with respect to home theatre/stereo etc, any thoughts from the Polk community would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Lee.

For a 7.1 system get the Fxi5's . The FXi's will produce a better "seamless" sound .

Use the Fxi 5's for side surrounds, and the 4's for rear surrounds. That will ensure a wider sound field w/i the listening area.

Thanks guys for posting a reply, greatly appreciated.

It has taken some guesswork out of deciding for me.

Thanks again.
