Hi everyone. First time poster here looking for some guidance. I have rtia9 for left and right, csi a6 center, some older harman kardon satelite speakers for the surrounds and rear and 4 sc60's for the heights all run by an anthem mrx1120 plus psw 125 sub. 'm trying to resist the urge in spending more money but the harman just don't sound right especially just watching gravity in atmos I can tell the voicing difference as the characters speak flying around my head. Is the t line of bookshelves voiced matched with the rti? Or should I bite the bullet and get the rti a1?
Speakers: Polk - Front RtiA9 - Center Csi6 - Surrounds RtiA1 - Heights Sc60 - Sub Psw125 +SVS PB2000
Power: Anthem MRX1120 11 ch. Atmos/dtsx receiver
TV: Vizio m70c3 4k led TV
Player: Philips bdp7501 uhd player

    I would probably try an amp for your front two. Anthem makes good stuff, but that's still an AVR. Amplify the front two, and let the Anthem handle the rest. I think you should try that before looking into different speakers.

    What will the amp do that the aver won't?

    Assume there is an amp...could you give some insight to my actual question?

    No, the T series is not timbre matched to the RTI A line. You can also look at FXI A4/6 as surrounds

    Thanks for the opinion. I won't go T series but neither the bi/dipoles as not recommended for atmos.
