I am currently using OWM5's as rear surrounds, and OWM3's as a front height channel, to go along with TSx 440 fronts and TSx 250c center. I would like to improve the rear surround at this point and was interested in the FXi A6 as the new rear channel. I read somewhere that these can be used with any series of POLKS, but POLKS website says that all of their series are 'timbre matched'. Can I use the FXi A6's in my set up without disrupting any sound qualities? Thanks.

    Yes you can, If your AVR has auto EQ and calibration you will be fine.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    Even try calibrating what you currently have might help too if you havent already done so.
    Epson 3020 projector. Da Lite screen. Oppo 103. Yamaha CXA5000. B&K 7250ii. HSU VTF2. Def Tech Supercube 4000. Polk Rtia9 CsiA6 FxiA6. Monster hts 2600. Home theater.

    Bedroom consist of NHT model 2 powered by Parasound hca1200ii coming from my computer.

    Stuff laying around. Too much to list but don't want to sell either.
