I am starting to build a new 5.1 theater system and I need some advice on selecting the best front speakers (I will worry about the center and rear speakers later).

Receiver: Denon AVR-1611
Blu-Ray Player: Sony BDP-S350
TV: Samsung LED 6300 Series
Current Speakers: The only speaker I am planning on keeping in this setup is my sub woofer which is a Polk Audio PSW202

The main requirement is that these front speakers must be able to mount on the wall, I am unable to use floor speakers. So far the only speakers I have looked at are the T15's TSI100 or TSI200.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    But are they mountable on the wall?

    Yes, the PowerPort on the back doubles as the wallmount.
    Love my RTi A1 in the office rig.

    Any issues with the T15's TSI100 or TSI200 as a front speaker system? Only reason I ask is I can find them locally in stores around here.

    No real issues. But the Rtis are just a step up in detail and tighter bass, etc. The TSI-200s would be fine as fronts as they reach a bit lower than the 100s and can always be moved to the back when you upgrade.

    Most Polks, including the TSI series, also pair well with Denon AVRs.

    Wow the RTI A1 is cheaper than the TSI-200s. Looks like I might use those for the front and the rear speakers. Thanks for all your help, would have found the RTi A1 without you.
