Upgrading from RM6750
I got my RM6750 set a number of years ago and it has served me well, but I've come the point where I want to upgrade, and I honestly want something more substantial.
The problem I'm having is that my space constrictions have seriously limited my options.
As things stand I only have about 6" - 6.5" of width in which to work.
Most speakers I've seen come it at 7" - 8.5"... so unless I place things above, below, or behind (it's a 65" DLP set that is a couple feet from the wall), none of those options are going to work.
I've given serious consideration to Polk VM Series, Paradigm Millenia Series and Cinema Series... I've heard a lot of good things about BIC Acoustech (I know they are too wide for optimal placement, but I could place bookshelf units either above or below if absolutely needed I guess).
What else should I be looking at?
I'm just trying to get the best sound for my buck, and honestly need help from people with more experience.
P.S. Thank you in advance for the welcome.

+1 on the TLs. As I was reading you, this was exactly what I wanted to suggest. Right now the TL1s are out but if you are willing to wait after the holiday the TL3s should be available and from what I read
the TL3s should be a much b etter improvement.DARE TO SOAR:

Thanks everyone. I actually ended up getting 4 RTi4's and a CSi3 for a pretty good price. Had enough left over to get a Pioneer VSX-1120-K as well.
I know they are a little wider than I was looking for, but I found a way to get them to fit. One of the speakers will sort of intrude on my computer desk by a couple inches, but I can make it work.
It'll be cramped, not look great, but you don't hear audio with your eyes, so whatever.
I figure this will be a huge improvement over the RM6750 system I'm using now.
Later on I plan to get a BIC PL-200 sub (or something similar) to replace the one from the RM6750 set. -
