I bought a starter system a couple of years back, two Polk M20s and a CSM center channel. Now that I am ready to upgrade my plans are to move the floorstanding M20s to the back and get two new fronts and a center channel. I recently purchased a 12" velodyne sub so I am not that concerned at all with lows.

My thoughts are as I said before, move the m20s to the back and buy two RTiA5s for the front and add a CSiA4 center. How does that sound? Anyone have any other suggestions? How will the rti's match up? I was quoted 900.00 for the 2 rtia5s and csia4, is that a pretty good price? Any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated. Willing to listen to any suggestions, but kinda wanna stay around 1000.00 for two fronts and a center

Welcome to Club Polk.
I think you are on the right track for HT. The monitors in the rear aren't that good of a match, but you could sell them later if you don't think they play well with the new RTi's, and get something that matches better.

what do you think would be a good match? is the CSiA4 a good match with the RTiA5s?

but what's a good match for the rtiA5s? Are the A5s enough to power a nice HT system with a sub, or do I need to go bigger? If I put the A5s in the front, what should I place in the back to keep the best set up?

The RTia5's will work great with a good sub. As stated keep your existing speakers for surround duty. They should work fine and if you don't like how it sounds sell them and get some RtiA3/1's later.
