vijayl, I think the speakers would be nice, but I would say you will probably need more than two speakers. Four would probably do it. 40'x50' is a really large area. My pool area is about that...

The Atrium 65SDI speakers are very good quality. They sound terrific.

I have a pair for my back deck providing coverage for my deck and pool area. I am completely satifsfied with them. My pool...

I have same speakers as you except for Sub, and use the Denon 1907 and love it. I used to use a Onkyo for my main HT and I found the Denon made for a nicer sound once I switched.

Cool you're from...

I use the OmniMount CCH1B shelf. You can get it at Amazon or Best Buy for around $30. It's rated to 30 lbs. which is approximately the weight of the CSi5. It's well made and is very stable.

Hi folks, Although I don't post a whole lot, I have been around here for quite a while. I have learned tons from the people here.

I finally created my system showcase: Zacgo's system

I would...

Welcome to the forum!

The beauty of the 65s are the dual mode, so the distance between speakers matters a lot less than in single mode. So if you run them in dual, your focus is just sound...

I haven't heard the 60, but I run a pair of Atrium 65SDI speakers which are pretty similar. I really like them a lot. I would compare them to RTI4s, maybe with a bit stronger bass. They are a...

I am running a pair of 65SDIs which are similar to the 60s. I have not blocked the port. I have been really impressed with the bass of these speakers. I have only had them for a couple of months...

56" JVC HD-ILA (LCoS technology)

Main HT:
RTi8, CSi5, RTi4

Treadmill HT:
R30, CSi20, R20

Outside:
Atrium 65 SDI

I just tried the speaker in 'dual' mode - meaning stereo. It sounds terrific. It's the best sounding outdoor speaker I have ever heard. It reminded me a little of my RTi4s I use as surrounds, only...

I was minding my own business at CC and saw a single open box Polk Atrium 65SDI for $89. I knew these thinks go for at least $300 each so I grabbed it. It looks to be in perfect condition, but of...

I am also using the Omnimount shelf. It is at $40 it is a real value. I have a 56" JVC and my CSi5 is stable on the top.

I think your planned setup is at a good price/performance level. Based on how much I am willing to spend I settled in a similar place and am satisfied. I auditioned a lot of speakers and I think...

Welcome, Wydrow.

I have a similar setup to what you're looking at and I am very happy. It took me years to fully go from the R series to the RTi series so it's great to start out with such a good...

I recently went from an Onkyo 602 to a Denon AVR-687 and am happy with the switch. I looked at the 787 - it is very similar to the 687 execpt it has slightly more power and has preouts. I was not...

I just wanted to share a very strange sensation... after fixing a couple of obvious major holes on my setup I feel almost, umm, content. I never thought I could ever feel this way! Do you guys...

Yes, as Shizelbs said, the CSi20 is the timbre matched center. I think if you wait a little while, you will eventually find one on eBay.

Whether or not to get the older CSi20, I think, depends...

Thanks for the advice so far. I don't think I can do dipole or bipole in my main HT. So that would pretty much kill the FXi option. The room is oddly shaped. The area behind the sweet spot and to...

I have two HT systems. My main system and a system in my home gym. I have a total budget of $850 for upgrades, and I would like your advice.

Although I use my main system much much more than...

I was faced with a similar setup looking to upgrade with a similar budget. Moved R series to the rear soundstage and replaced the front with RTi8 mains and a CSi5 center. I am thrilled with the...

dangerboy, I don't know if distortion is the right word. Maybe I should not have said that in my reply. The sounds are not as crisp or clean as they are with two channels. The end result is a...

Thanks for the advice. I have to agree that it's probably more of an issue with format than positioning or equipment.

With better speakers and better placement I bet I could reduce the the...

Polkmaniac, thanks for the reply. What do you think about all channel stereo?

I am a newbie. I have been playing around with this audio stuff for about a year. After a series of upgrades I am pretty happy with my setup, which is stated below. I have found components that sound...
