    Welcome to Club Polk!

    Frankly, I wouldn't bother to do that unless you need the space. You won't notice much of a difference and the M-70s have a far greater range than A3s in any case!

    Only your front three really need to be matched.

    You're good! Cosmetically, of course, the system would look nicer with a matched set of A series speakers, though!

    Ditto to what cnh said. Unless the non-matching set really really really bothers you, I wouldn't spend the money.

    I would get a pair of FXI A4's or 6's for the sides, then move the monitor 30's to the rear. Then sell or use the M70's in a different system.

    I agree with the first two, keep what you've got but move the 70's to sides and the 30's to rear.

    Actually, bookers idea is a pretty good one.
