S20 vs Fxi A6
I am looking for surround speakers to existing setup - Polk S60, S35, Pro 660 & Denon receiver.
S20 - bookshelf mate well with signature series. Has 6.5 driver and 1 tweeter.
FXI A6 is bipolar but just has one 6.5 driver but 2 tweeter. Is the extra I pay for worth its design?
23 X 13 room size.
I am more inclined towards S20 except that its a not bipolar in design.
TIA

I know nothing about the FXI A6. The S20 is a nice little speaker for sure. Not sure how well it will do in that size room. May be others will chime in.Since we don’t know where we are going we have to stick together in case someone gets there….Ken Kesey

It’s not really bi-polar with only one woofer, and the s20s look pretty stout. I would be inclined to stick with the timbre matching speaker (the s20) in this case...Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

The FXI A6 is a great speaker. Using it for surrounds, I like it much better in this position than I did the RTI A3.
If your not listening to multi-channel music, timbre matching surrounds and rears is much less important than the front three. -
I need some reading comprehension training. I see you are using them as part of a HT system.Since we don’t know where we are going we have to stick together in case someone gets there….Ken Kesey
