Excellent! The RTi100 is a nice speaker. I'm sure you'll enjoy them a lot. Welcome to the club, jaj.

Congrats JAJ, still have Polk Reference RT1000p's and they sound awesome.

Thanks everyone, glad to be here. I liked the rti100 so well. I just ordered a csi40 and fx50. Would like to have had the lsi15 but budget and wife said no. I'm new to HT so any advise would be appreciated. Thanks again

All the choices you have made so far are excellent for HT.

I have pretty much the same setup you will have and I can say I love it. Everything just sounds awesome. I have the fxi-30s but no wall space to put them up just yet but when I build my new house I am going to put them in there as surrounds.

I have the HK AVR 520

My csi40 and fxi50 came in from crutchfeild. Every thing sounds great except you can't here the fxi50. They just seem to get lost. I have my rti100 set large and the csi40 and fxi50 set small. Thanks for any help. I must have somthing set wrong

Do you have the fxi50's as bipole or dipole? This will cause a huge difference in the way the 50's are heard. If you are using them as your rear surrounds in a 5.1 setup then you want them set to bipole.
The channels for your fxi50's might also need to be adjusted. This is best done with a sound meter but you can adjust it by ear also using the test tones.

The whole point of good surround speakers are to "get lost". If they seem low to ya pump up the dd level a couple db's. Actually thier is not very much difference at face value between dipole and bipole. Firing the same or opposite. They will still put out the same sound/spl either way but some have a personal preference - try them both ways.
