This is what I have ordered for a 15x25x9 room:

Vizio VF552XVT TV
Onkyo TX-SR707 Receiver
Emotiva UPA-2 Amp
Polk TC80i Ceiling Speakers (back ordered)

Newegg has a sale that ends today 6/13
Polk RTi A5 with a Promo gift card (I will order these today)
Polk CSi A6 with a Promo gift card
Polk CSi A4 Promo gift card (Not sure which one to get)
I had thought that I would get a Polk DSW Pro 500 sub but I see quite a few people picking SVS and HSU subs and I am looking for some help here also, want to stay close to $500. - $600.

Thanks again,

Tom

    I had the A4, but had to upgrade to the A6. The match to my fronts is much better with the A6. My fronts are the old RT800s, but they have the same config as the A5's. I like the A6 so much that I'm considering getting the A5s and selling the RT800s. It sounds pretty good now, but it would be a little better with the A5s. I listened to the A5/7/9s at Fry's this week and actually like the 5s better. I'm using these in the family room and already have a 12" sub (BIC F-12), so I think the 7s or 9s would be overkill.

    That's a big room, I'm assuming this will mostly be HT??? If so, you will need a good quality sub or 2 known for great output to pressurize it. Not to slam the DSW Pro 500, especially since I have not heard one, but I think $$/output, for that room SVS, HSU, Epik, ED need to be explored. With your budget you will need to shop around. Contact any of the above and get their more knowledgeable input. They all have a rep. for being honest and not trying to over sell you.
