RTIA3 vs RTIA5
My fronts are Polk RTIA5, Center is Polk CSIA6, My sides are Polk FXIA6. I do also have Polk RTIA3 which I was using in the rear but have dropped them from my space due to space limitations. My subwoofer is SVS SB3000. I am 90% music listening. My room is 12 X 15.
My question is should I stay with RTIA5 in front or is there much difference if I substituted the A3 in front?

Since you have the speakers, the best way to answer that question is to swap them out and listen for yourself, that way you'll be able to make an educated decision. I know, sounds too easy, doesn't it??Set up:
