Hello All, I have a greatroom that measures 20 X 16 and my current setup consists of a 65 inch LG OLED TV, Denon AVR-x3500h, Tannoy Mercury MX bookshelf speakers for Front and Surrounds (5 1/2 inch woofers), a Tannoy Mercury Center Channel (4 inch woofers) and an SVS PB1000 sub. I recently added the Pioneer Atmos speakers that sit on top of the bookshelf fronts. My Tannoy speakers are about 20 years old and they have served me well but I'd like to upgrade them.

I am considering the following:
CSi A6 for the Center
RTi A1 for the Rear Surrounds
RTI A7 or A5 for the Fronts

Will my Denon be able to power the A7 or would the A5's be a better choice? I can't afford to add an amplifier to my setup at this point.

Would the FXi A4 be a better choice for the rear surrounds?

    Set the speakers to small, cross to sub at 80Hz and your AVR will be ok driving this package.

    CSi A6 for the Center
    RTi A1 for the Rear Surrounds
    RTI A7 for the Fronts

    If funds permit, you may want to consider a second PB1000 sub too.

    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Did you get it set up yet? How’s it sound? Better than the Tannoys?
