Hello...

I'm still new if the forum and on Polk Audio Products.

Reading all your comments about Polk Audio I have decided to upgrade my speakers system in order to take out more from my Yamaha RX-V3067 that can make 7.1 with 200W/per channel.

I have a large living room (about 80 sq meters). But I'm only planning to make a 5.1 system only (otherwise my wife will kill me.). (This way I can make Bi-Amping with the RTI A7)

I'm buying a pair of RTI A7 and a CSI A6 for the center. I have not decided with ones to buy for the surrounds, because the FXi A6 looks too big. Do we have any other options here?

But my main question is about the Subwoofer. Polk audio recommends on the website for this system the sub DSW PRO 500, but I'm having a hard time to buy it here in Europe. Can please someone recommend me other subwoofer. Does the DSWPRO 550wi can be compared with the DSW PRO 500?

Thanks a lot for helping this Portuguese new Polk lover.

    Hello Ummario,
    Welcome to Polk's forum. Send an email to Polk's Customer Service department at polkcs@polkaudio.com and ask them to help you contact Polk's importer for Portugal. Then they will be able to direct you to the closest dealer. You can also ask them questions about surround speakers and choice of sub-woofer.
    Cheers, Ken
