Hello, how are you?

I have the following setup. All polkaudio speakers: RT16, TSi300, PSW110, CS10
Harman Kardon AVR 3000 receiver

My question now is which is the better speaker pair? The RT16 or the TSi300? Which one would you use for surround? I thought the RT 16 but i want to use the better one as front speakers. by the way im new to polk and not that firm with their speakers. Before i had sets of Surroundsystems wheree the speakers have been marked for their use.

Thanks for your help.

    Just by going by the specs I would say use the RT16 as your fronts over the Tsi300. But would be better would be is to find a pair of Tsi100's used them as surrounds with the 300's as fronts, then used the RT16 as a good pair of 2ch speakers in another room. Just my 2cents.

    Hey man, welcome to Club Polk!!!

    Those RT16's look to be the speaker for your mains, nice indeed. Use those TSi300 for surround.
