Okay. I was just trying to figure out why they're intruding a competing product line, which is a very interesting approach in my opinion. Maybe I'll email them to see what they see the differences as. Thanks.

As for your question on if you should buy all Polks, I would say yes. The dominant theory is that the timbre is matched all around by buying the same brand name. Different brands have different frequency response, bass output, etc. It is better to have speakers of the same brand.
As for whether Monitor is better than RTi? I would say probably not. Rti speakers are made of real wood, whereas the Monitor are not (thus the lighter weight). Still, though, I'll bet the Monitor are still fine speakers, and if you'd rather go with those I don't blame you. If you can find some good Rti speakers on clearance at CC, however, I would recommend those. 6's for fronts, 4's for rears, and a CSi 3 for center. Yes, that would be a fine system for now. A sub would really make movies more enjoyable, but for music that would be fine. Plus, if you are in a place that can't handle a lot of bass, like an apartment or dorm, then you should be fine for awhile. I think you should go with a system like that, and save up for a sub later. You could even wait until after college and spring for a SVS sub, then you would really be cooking!

Yes, that is what I figured. Damn, I hope I can get a great price on these at CC. If I got them for 260 (as somebody reported) new, that'd leave enough to buy an HK 130 new (as I've decided, since I doubt I'll still want the receiver by the time I need more channels) and some new CD's and DVD's, which is what this is all about, right?!

EDIT: SEE OTHER THREAD(S)
(no more cd's or dvd's with different decision but what I have is gonna sound sweet)
