I'm looking to go from a 3.1 to a 5.1 setup. My main towers are LS90s.

I can grab a pair of lightly used S4s for $140 or a pair of used S6s for $160. Any advice on what the best choice would be?

    I was thinking that the prices sounded way high but looking at asking prices maybe just a little high.

    A few years ago I picked up a pair of S4 for $60. I hate to say that I got the S8 for free off Craigs List with a bad tweeter and included a pair of Polk M3 wedge speakers.

    I use the S4 for surrounds. It S8 were my mains until I swapped in the RTA-11TL.
