FXi3 or FXi5
I got my RTi10s in the front, I got the CSi5 for the center, I have a RXV1400 Yamaha to push these and now I am ready for the surrounds. My question is what surround to get. I know everyone pushes the 5. I compared the two side by side and the difference other then weight I see is the speaker size. 5 1/4 compared to 6 1/2. Now in looking at the price, is that speaker size worth the extra money? Let me know and as always, thank you all for your advise. I want to buy these on line since the prices are as cheap as Frys but you get a $150 coupon. I will use that coupon to get my sub when I am ready. So in short, please give me your opinion.

You'll be happy with the 5's. They'll give you a bit more punch that the 3's. Happy listening.

Your correct. I ran to Frys who wanted $599 for these speakers plus you get a free pair of $199 in/outdoor speakers. I already have these from my last purchase so I went on line, Polk linked me to Crutchfield. Got them for $499 plus a $150 gift certificate that I will use towards my PSW505 sub within the next month so in short, I am in home theatre heaven.RXV1400 Yamaha Receiver
