Hi All

Finally have a chance to get my old RT3000p & CS1000P setup again.

Unfortunately the only option for rears are in-ceiling.

What are my options in the current Polk range that you guys would recommend that would compliment the fronts?


Thanks
Laurent

    With that big system I might opt for the 90-RTs. They are more capable of running full range like your LCR. But either will sound nice!

    Hey rooftop59.

    There's not much difference in price between the two so the 90-RT's will be the ones.

    Cheers
