Which Polks fit best on my room?

Hi I am new to the whole speaker scene, I've been around buying only amplified speakers like Logitech, Panasonic and I have not really tried the audiophile's speaker. I've been lurking around this place, researched and got suggestions from a store. I'm planning to buy them over the weekend.
My Living room is 15' x 19' running long, Ceiling is 4 meters high. They will be mainly used for 90% movie, 10% music. What do you think of the setup?
RTi A5
CSi A4
FXi A4
DSW Pro 550
Denon AVR-1911
Will the RTi A5 be too big for the room? Should I go for the A3 instead?
Is the sub right for my place?
Do I have other alternatives for in-ceiling rear speakers? The room has a really high ceiling. If I opt for the Fxi A4, they will be mounted a little bit lower but we have concerns regarding its industrial look.

The A5s are fine. For the surrounds you can even consider the RTi A1s if you don't like the looks of the FXis. I am not a big fan of in ceiling speakers. At least not the ones I have heard. They seem to pick up (and cause) resonances of the ceiling structure.
Keep the tweeters for the surrounds and rears either at ear level or up to 24 inches above that depending on listening distance.Things are more like they are now than they ever will be! -

The speaker selection looks fine. If possible, step up to the larger center (CSI-A6) and get an AVR that has pre-outs. For Denons, unfortunately, that means the 3311 or higher?
You might want to consider the Pioneer VSX-1120 instead, give it a listen.
Otherwise, you're good!
Enjoy!

I think that looks great. Others will always give recommendations for bigger and better, it is a disease. I would start there and enjoy for a long time. If you eventually want more then so be it.
I have basically the same setup.Front - RTiA5's
Rear - RTiA3's
Center - CSiA4
Sub - PSW110 -
If the rear speakers were to be placed directly behind the listener, about 1 foot away from the listener will that be ok?

Is it too early to recommend SDA-SRS 1.2TL's?
The setup you have in mind looks good to me, but I do concur on going with the a6 for center duties.
