Well I have gotten the final word and I will be moving in May. Now the wife has agreed to a new setup for the family room and the old setup will go up stairs. Either in the bedroom or Living room. But that does not matter right now. I am looking to get a new setup. Im looking at the Polk RTi line or Swan setup. I like the way the RTi12 sounds along with the CSi5. I have not heard the Swans first hand, I just heard reviews and what people say on other forums.

Then there is the sub. I have an Earthquake sub now and I could just get another like there MKV 12 or 15. I also like the SVS PB12+2. ANy recommendations on which I should go with and why would be great.

I have my receiver picked out and will probably get it this weekend at Fry's. I picked the Onkyo TX-NR801.

I have been into ht for awhile and I tend to be the person that people I know come to when they have questions. And spending this much cash I would like to get it right the first time. :D

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    Doesn't seem like you need much help. If you like the way the RTi12 and Csi5 sound, then go for it. Just make sure you factor in a separate amp or the 12's to get the best out of them. The Swans are highly regarded as well. In terms of subs, either way you go you'll be fine.
    HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub
