I am new to Polk speakers. I have had Infinity's for quite a while and recently purchased 2 R50's and a CSi25. Would 2 more R50's or RTi70's for the fronts work better? Is the CSi25 the correct match for the R50's?

Welcome to the forum. I too am new to Polk speakers so I don't have much to tell you about them. Someone will be chiming in soon to answer your question.

Go to search at top of page and type in model for mains, select the link for your mains and at the bottem of the page you will find a matrix that defines recommended componets.

Do not use two pair of R50's up front. Also, you do not want to use the RTi70's with the CSi25. You need to decide if you want to go with the RTi line or the R line. Since you already have the CSi25 then you should stick with the R line.

If you want a better HT setup and don't care about spending a little more money, then sell the CSi25, get some RTi speakers for the front and center, and then move the R50's to surrounds. R50's for surrounds is not ideal but it saves some money; you can always upgrade later. You could use the R50's later for a garage setup, kid's setup, or sell them.

Ok. If I put Rti70's in the front and the R50's in the rear, what center should I use? I can sell the CSi25.

Any center from the Rti line would work. You want the tweeters to match.
