Why are FXi 3 and 5's so hard to come by?

Some may already know but I just purchased a full 5.1 set of RTi's with RTi 6's as my rears.

Naturally, I'm looking into completing the sound with surround rears. I'd like to stick with the full RTi line but I'm not having any luck finding FXi 3's or 5's anywhere! I know they'll eventually come up and I need to be patient but after doing some searching they seem to be slightly coveted.

What makes them stand out?

    It's likely a case of folks keeping them while upgrading the fronts because surrounds don't need to timbre match the fronts.

    You could get the FXi A4 or A6, which will work perfectly with your speakers.
