RC65i for 7.1 Surround Speakers ?
Slowly setting up HT in a basement room approx. 15' X 17' in size and have vintage Monitor 10's for the front L&R along with Polk CS400 center channel and would like anyone's thoughts and comments on the use of RC60i in-wall speakers for the 4 surrounds. All of these will be pushed using a Denon AVR-789. I like the thought of in-wall's so as to not take up needed floor space, but am unsure as how they would match up with my existing fronts, center and Denon. Also have a Klipsch KSW300 15" sub that may be used as well. Not sure if I will move it from upstairs or just purchase another for the HT setup in the basement. Will the RC60i's work well in this setup for a somewhat budget HT. Also any other suggestions on the Sub as well if I decide not to go that route ?
Any information and expert advice would be appreciated.

I believe the biggest concern for matching speakers in a HT is having the front stage match.
The surrounds are slightly less important.
I know you said it's a budget rig, so if you're just rolling with the speakers you got...I believe the polk in-wall surrounds should be just fine.2 ChannelTurntable - VPI Classic 2/Ortofon 2M BlueAmplification - Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II, Parks Audio Budgie PhonoSpeakers - GoldenEar Triton 17.2 Home TheaterDenon AVR-X3300W; Rotel RMB-1066; Klipsch RP-280F's, Klipsch RP-450C, Polk FXi3's, Polk RC60i; Dual SVS PB 2000's; BenQ HT2050; Elite Screens 120"Man CaveTurntable - Pro-Ject 2.9 Wood/Grado GoldAmplification - Dared SL2000a, McCormack DNA 0.5 DeluxeCD: Cambridge AudioSpeakers - Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary; LSiM 703; SDA 2A

Are you talking about RC60i or Rc65i? I believe one is round and the other is rectangular?
