Hello, I am in the process of upgrading my home theater system. I have just purchased a Yamaha rx-v673 7 channel 90 watts per channel receiver. I have ordered the polk cherry cs20 for $149 but haven't received it yet. I have been looking at the tsi400's for the front on the polk ebay site for $399 a pair. Since, I have noticed that the ebay site also has the polk rti8's listed for $399 a pair new. Current prices on the csi5 are $150-$250 range on ebay. Which system would serve me best for bluray movies in home theater? I have a polk psw10 subwoofer. Den room dimensions are 12ft. wide x 20ft. long. Thanks for anyone's help.

    I personally prefer the rti8's over the tsi400's. Just like the sound better.

    Thanks, Do you think the 90 watt yamaha will power the rti8's? I also read on a forum somewhere that the rti8 may sound a little brighter because of the yamaha amp. Does anyone know if that is true or not?

    if youre ttrying to do a home theatre, i would sell the psw10 and pick up a psw 505, they drop down under 200 on amazon/frys/newegg this time of year, you wont regret it for the price.
