Need to downsize speakers, looking for advice on new Polk options. Will be replacing RT1000i's, CS300, and F/Xi50's.
Looking at the Blackstone series, TL3s perhaps, but need in ceiling surrounds. Is there a decent match someone can recommend or point me to a better option. Looking for decent movie sound and some music, all driven by a Marantz SR5005 but will not be played super loud. (I will miss the old set up, loved it).

Thanks!

    Welcome to Club Polk!

    Polk offers a couple in ceiling compatibles that also have the ring radiator tweeter like the TL3s.

    See the products page for 900-LS or 700-LS speakers. There are also some other models for surround sound, again, check product page above. Make sure the speaker has a ring radiator tweeter!

    If you are looking at the Blackstones definitely consider the the TL3s. I had the RT1000s for a long time and would consider the TL3s a step up especially for music. Of course, you would need a subwoofer with the TL3s. Make sure to get a sub that can go up to 120 Hz with no issues. (I would look for an upper -3dB of around 140Hz or higher.) For small speakers, they do sound great when set up correctly.
