Hi all

Current setup:
Tx-NR709 av
Monitor 30 front
CS20 center
Mordaunt Carnival 1 surround
Carnival 9 Sub

I am thinking about moving my carnivals to front highs and my 30s as new surrounds. Polk is selling TSI100s (which supposed to match my center) for 150 on ebay and Monitor 30s for 90. Do I need to get the tsi to match my center or will more 30s work?

Thanks!
Current Setup
AV: Onkyo TX-NR709
Front: Polk TSi300
Center: Polk Monitor CS20
Front Wide: Polk Monitor 30ii
Surround: Mordaunt Short Carnival 1
Subwoofer: Mordaunt Short Carnival 9

    My humble setup...

    ...is no more. :cry:

    The 30s will work, but the TSis have a slightly larger cabinet volume and the slightest amount of more bass because of that. Not sure how noticeable that would be, though?
