I currently have RM101's as my rear surrounds. Would anyone recommend the Polk owm3's over them? Have to keep to tight budget. Just not convinced I'll notice an improvement.. anyone have thoughts?? Thanks (although I'll admit I've been eyeing the tl's 1,2,3.)

    I think it would be a minimal upgrade at best. Just save up and jump a few tiers later on. I have a pair of owm3's, as my front heights and they do fine, they weren't up to snuff as surrounds for me.

    Thanks, I like the tl3 because of their size (similar to rm101) but also the fxi4's are nice but much larger and pricey. Will keep an eye out for after Christmas sales

    I've got the FXI4's in my theater setup. They are quite a good speaker and really all not that big (much larger than what you've got now though)
