My poor FXi5's :(
First, Hi Polkies... it's been a long time. New son, new house, etc etc etc. My love for Polk however hasn't faded a bit. I'm in a bit of a dilemma however.
During our move, my set of FXi5's took a nasty fall. I blame the friend who thought they were just "speakers". Being as things are getting updated in the home and I need a set of rears, I figured I'd get on Amazon and pick up whatever I could find for fairly cheap ; until April. My fronts are RTi10's, I have a CSiA6 for the Center, DSW 4k Micro and I did have my FXi5's.
So I'm stuck at a few choices. RTiA1's, RTi4's or just wait until someone posts some FXi's or iA's in the FS area or a damn good deal on eBay. I'm open to all suggestions, even a "temp" "other" brand haha.
Thanks guys. :cheesygrin:
EDIT : The room is 20x14, whatever set they are or I'm told to buy will be driven by the AVR.

I should've listened way back in 2008, they told me I'd go broke... they were right

They look like fxi3's. They should match great.

Yes, I believe those are fxi3s. I love mine. Probably the speakers I will part with last.

As cliche as it sounds...pics or it didn't happen.
Like most humans we like to stop and gawk at the wreckage and gore. -
Not a bad price. I'll have to keep that in mind, thank you
Beef, when I get a chance to take a picture before our dump run, I'll be sure to post them up. Honestly, I didn't even go look as I watched it happen. I turned away, went for a smoke and cooled down. Else, my friend would have died.I should've listened way back in 2008, they told me I'd go broke... they were right -
For reference of the space I'm dealing with in the rears.
Right Surround
Distance / Opening (don't mind the hanging POS. That's leaving )
