    Could you be a little less vague?

    Do you mean where should you put them?

    Do you want to know whether you should set them to large or small in your receiver?

    Do you want to know what to set the crossover at in the receiver?

    All of the above??

    The only speaker you have the matches the CSi3 (timber matches that is) is the RTi4.

    Based on that and guessing you want to end up with a 7.1 system.

    RTi4 on stands on either side of your TV.

    Csi3 on the tv tilted twords your listening position. (ok, your ears when you are seating in your listening position.)

    R150 and R300 one on either side of your listening positon and the other set behind your listening position a couple feet apart. (what works best where would be more determined by your room. try both locations and stick with what sounds best)

    PSW10 - in a corner somewhere.

    Denon - (near your DVD player and TV is recommended but not required)

    Your welcome and welcome to club polk.

    I’m sorry for didn’t mentioned clearly. I think all of the above. This is my 1st home theater and messing up. 1st I bought those R series on sale and I wasn’t happy with the sound. I think missing some high so I bought Csi3 and RTi4. Then I have no idea where I should place those together to get the best sound. I like to put those RTi4 on front since they sounds the best for me. Thank you.

    Thank you Michael, that makes sense to me. I really like to place those RTi4 on front.
    What about if I want to go as 5.1? The reason is I am currently live in small 600 sq.ft studio apartment in NY and I don’t have much space so I’m thinking to place those RTi4 and R300 as front speaker A & B. Would it be too much? R300 sounds not that great if I configure as small.
