My setup is Onkyo 667 receiver 7.1 setup. CS10 center. Tsi 100s left and right. Onkyo surrounds and rears which I have been upgrading the speakers that came in the htib since I discovered the superiority of Polk speakers!

So I started upgrading to the tsi line. What I want to do is move my tsi 100s to my side surrounds and get towers for the front left and right. I was wondering who all has tried mixing the monitor series with the tsi series and what the results were since the speakers are so similar. I an looking at monitor 50s for the front left and right. They are $84 right now. I would love to get tsi 300 or 400s, but economy sux :( Thoughts?

    You'll be fine going with the monitors, save yourself some $.

    I would get the monitors and pocket the extra money. I would recommend getting the 60's or 70's though. It is a bigger upgrade and will be more noticeable.
    Front - RTiA5's
    Rear - RTiA3's
    Center - CSiA4
    Sub - PSW110
