The basement refinish is nearing the drywall stage so I've started thinking about the new home theater system. It's a decent sized basement but the seating area will be approximately 16x16 with an L shaped couch that will be brought down from our current family room.

The wife doesn't want to see wires so I'm going to use ceiling mounts for the rear surrounds. I don't have an unlimited budget but the Polk Ebay site makes it a little easier to score some quality stuff and not make the wife to upset.

Looking at the Polk ebay listings I came up with this idea for a setup

Fronts- Rti A7
Center- CSi A4
Sub- PSW125

Does this makes sense? I think these all match up based on what i read on the web pages. Will the TC60i or the TC620i speakers do the job for the surrounds?

Lastly, any suggestions for an AV receiver to drive this set up?

Thanks.

    psu, I am using the A7's for my fronts and the csi A6 fot the center with the fxi a4's for the surrounds. Sounds very good, I upgraded to an Emotiva XPA-5 200 w/c, really make these sing for home theater.
