Matching surrounds for R50

lxshteyn

I'm very new to the audio world. I just purchased a pair of R50s and CSi3 from Circuit City. R50 manual recommended R20 surrounds but they don't sell them in CC. What would be appropriate choice for me ?
Also for the first Home theater is what I got a good choice or RTi8 would worth it for an extra $300?
Thank you

Welcome to club polk,
You could get a pair of R15s if they have them or get the 15s or 20s somewhere else. As for the difference between the 50s and 8s, let your ears decide. The 8s are timbre matched to the csi3 if that matters to you.

Good deal on R15's

I have R40's for my fronts, and I am using R15's for my surrounds, and I am very happy with them. I am sure you would be happy with the R15's if you cannot find the R20's.

Thanks for your responses.
For some reason R series surrounds are not even shown on the Polk's website. They show RTi, FXi and LXi. Is FXi3 a good match ?

the R15's and R20's are listed in the Stereo/Front Home Theater Bookshelf listing, but can be used as surrounds.
