    If your 60% 5 channel music I'd go with the 703's and for a sub you'll enjoy another brand like a SVS. What are you powering all this with?

    Since you already own the LSi9's (right?) , I'd try them as back surround speakers. Really there's not a huge__ amount of signal going to the back surrounds. Depending on what your budget is for the bass duty, I'd definitely recommend getting 2 subs for your size of room. Plus acoustic treatments and sub eq. if your onkyo avr doesn't provide that.

    Agree with 2 subs. Lots of good sub brands out there and lots of choices and agree not going Polk for the subs. What's the budget?
