Hello to all.........I am looking for suggestions to replace my current Sony satellite surround sound speakers. My fronts are Polk Monitor 60, center is Polk cs10 and sub is Bic PL-200. This is connected to a Harman Kardon AVR 235. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I had an HK AVR235 running a pair of Monitor 70s as fronts, CS2 as center and Monitor 40s as surrounds with great results. The Monitor 40s are on sale on Newegg for $100 if you have the space to use a large bookshelf speaker for surrounds. I also have used the Monitor 60s as surrounds with the 40s as back surrounds. You could upgrade to Monitor 70s up front and use the 60s as surrounds, however the 70s would not be a perfect match with the CS10.

    I have also used the Polk T15 bookshelf as surrounds, they are smaller (similar to Monitor 30s) and have a keyhole for wall mounting. There are quite a few options for bookshelf speakers that would match (looks/style) your front speakers, and your receiver should have more than enough power to run any 8 ohm bookshelf without much difficulty

    Monitor 30s are more than enough for most modest systems. I had them myself. The keyhole for wall mounting saves money on buying mounts. Newegg's got em for cheap. Same size drivers as your m60s and cs1.
