I just ordered the rti8s from Frys. Now I need a center, and surrounds and will get a free sub from crutchfield. As I have stated, I want to buy right the first time and hate to "upgrade". I have an Onkyo 703 100wpc reciever.

What center would you guys recommend csiA4 or csiA6. Will there there be any noticable difference in the sound. If not I would prefer the A4 because it's smaller.

I don't know much about subs. I want very responsive, tight, punchy bass. I will use the $200 credit to upgrade to at least the PSW110. Do I need go for the PSW125 or even better. I wish I could hear them myself.

Rears. Rti4, Rti6, RtiA1, RtiA3, Fxi4. Which would sound better. Any help is very appreciated.

I just picked up 2 RTi8's at Fry's myself! I also ordered the CSi3 center channel from Crutchfield for $150. Use coupon code PA145 for free shipping :)

The best center match for your RTi8's is a CSi5...exact same drivers in both speakers.

I have the CSi5 center, so I would suggest that one from personal experience. It is an awesome compliment the my system. It is probably one of the most important speakers, so make sure you get the right one.

Welcome TBone, Viva & Dephin!

The CSI 5/CSIA6 is the favorite center channel around here. I would get one of the new Polk subs since from what I have heard are finally a great option from Polk for subs.

I wanted to go with the CSi5 too, but I just couldn't find them anywhere and the money I saved going with the CSi3 will help me get a better sub.
