    Excuse me for butting in here, but...the rule is that ALL THREE FRONT SPEAKERS MUST BE TIMBRE MATCHED. The center determines nothing, it has to MATCH the L/R speakers at the very least.

    cnh

    Ok thanks for the advise, will make sure to get the same brand of speakers for the fronts.

    Not just the same brand, but the same series. You mentioned the RTiA. You'd want the CSiA6 or CSiA4 in order to be timbre matched to RTiA fronts. I've never understood why Polk has a different prefix for their fronts, center, and surrounds. It just makes it more confusing for someone not familiar with Polk's speaker lines.

    I am thinking of buying 2 DSW Pro 660 i subwoofer. I know it will look cool on my HT setup but will it sound nicer and give better bass rather than having just 1 ?

    Ok so the cables that are available are Monster cables

    1) Monster XPCIBIG - costs around 106$ for 30 Meters

    2) Monster XPN WMS100 - costs around 80$ for 30 Meters.

    Are expensive cables necessarily better or is the second option enough ?

    I might be making my purchase today.

    I'd stay away from Monster, you can find way better cables for the money. Check out Blue Jeans Cable for great bang for your buck.

    That should be a nice sounding set up!

    Congrats - keep us posted.
