Rtia1 or Rtia3 for HT using SVS PB2000?

I currently have the pioneer bs 22s but am looking for more punch with my speakers. Polk's seems to have good prices with a higher treble to their sound signature. My question is whether to go for the RTiA1 or the RT8A3 if I'm running a subwoofer. My room is around 2000 ft.³ and I sit about 12 feet from the front speakers. This begs into question which center channel is needed as well.

In addition, there are some fantastic deals on the old RTI lineup on eBay. A pair of the RTi4 can be had for $120 and the CSi5 can be had for $135. They are in mint condition. Is this worth buying or are the newer RTiA series a jump in quality? Would love to hear some people's feedback. Thank you so much!
