    You should look at the PSW-505 on newegg for the sub. I have both and the 505 is much more powerful for the same money.
    ALL BOXED UP for a while until I save up for a new place :(

    And buying the "best" mains puts you at the questions of whether the m70's beat the rti a3's or vice versa. Check out the thread I started about just that question recently.
    Polk Audio RTi A3 (mains)
    Polk Audio CSi A4 (center)
    Polk Audio RC60i (rears)
    BIC Acoustech PL-200 (sub)
    Denon AVR-590 (receiver)
    Samsung LN46B550 (LCD)
    Sharp BD HP22U (Blu-ray player)

    For mostly music, the Monitor 70's hands down.

    I prefer my Monitor 70's in music playback over my RTi A7's...

    The Monitor 70's have a great midrange and a more laid back tweeter that's much nicer on the ears for extended listening.
