First Post, Home theater ?'s

shoelace

Hi all, I've learned much by reading through the various threads so thanks in advance for that.
On to my question.

I am redoing my 12 year old home theater system and the process is almost complete. After listening to everything from klipsch to definitive tech and everything inbetween I decided to go with the Polk TSI100's for the mains, a CS10 for the center and a PSW10 for the sub. Now, my question pertains to the surrounds (5.1). Can I get away with the RT15 back there or should I stick with another set of TSI100's? I am going for sonic/tonally balanced here.

For those who haven't heard the TSI's, I think they are amazing, especially for the price point. I am by no means an audiophile, but I know what sounds good to my ear.

WELCOME TO CLUB POLK!!

The TSI-100s are indeed a nice bookshelf at a good price. In an ideal world I'd go 100s all the way around. But as you've probably read, only your front three really have to be timbre matched so, YES, you can use RT15s in the back without a serious degradation in performance.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I will go ahead and spend the extra and get the TSI's in the back aswell.
