My question, will it be a smart investment to purchase a pair of RTia3 in exchange for my RT55i. Do you think it would be an improvement to my front soundstage or will the 55i's be the best for my system..
Polks All The Way
Fronts RT55i
Front Presence RT35i
Center CSi40
Side Channels FXi50
Rears RT55i
Rear Presence RT15i
Bottom Line, Greatness and Fun....

    Agreed on the 55's. Save the money to upgrade something else like cables or source or external amps (not sure what you have).
