I need to know which speakers to use in each position in a 9.1 setup. I own pairs of Polk Monitor 55T, 65T and 75T as well as a pair of TSI200's and a CSIA4 center. My receiver is a Yamaha RX-A2040. And should I bi-wire the all the Monitors?

    Not unless you already happen to have all biwire cables.

    How big is this room?

    My room is 14x18 \ 252 sq ft
    I plan on making my own 12awg 4-conductor biwire cables

    You have room behind your seating or is your seating up against or real close to the wall? Seems like an unnecessary amount of speakers for the room size, IMO 5 channel would suffice and you would also gain better dynamics from having less speakers on the same receiver.

    There is no real benefit to biwiring. Just make some jumpers out of the same wire.

    i have 5ft or so behind my seating. truth be told, i don't plan on using the 55T's. i plan to use a pair of bookshelf JBL's as presence speakers and I do plan on a 9.1 configuration and I plan on using the 75T's for my front speakers. my question at this point is should i use the TSI200's or the 65T's for rear speakers? and whichever is used for the rears the opposite's will be used for surrounds.
