    Look for older TSI 100 or 200's. They should timbre match.

    So no interest in finding a set of used RT15i 25i, 35i? Well, the RTIA have a different sound signature. However, the only way to know if it would work for you is for your ears to hear the combo together. Find a place that offers some type of demo or 30 day return, etc.

    The 400i center is pretty versatile, I would say you can get away with matching it to any of the Polk lines except LSI or LSIM's.

    I have some rt35is with upgraded crossovers I might be interested in parting with if you are interested in. Those are the perfect match besides the 55s, same tweet and 6.5 in driver, just one instead of 2. I have owned both, and there is a BIG difference in the size.
