It's time to upgrade my Home theatre system. I have a Onkyo Integra TX88 reciever. I am planning to keep my 10's upfront. Any recommendations for center channel and rear surrounds? My Polks survived many college parties, my kids and cats. The front felt covers need replaced. Does Polk still sell covers? I have been doing extensive reciever research. Reading many consumer reviews online. My Onkyo has and still does serve me well. I am looking at Onkyo txds797,txds696 and Denon avr3802. I have read that the Dennon has a very warm sound. I prefer a very bright sound with a punch. I am using this system for home theatre surround as well as music.
Your response is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

    try the yamaha 3200 use your ears to compair try them all but listen to them more than once, if you can. if they will let you bring them home to try, do that, go to 2 or 3 stores and bring what you want to compair, i dont know if you can get by doing this, but this is the best way to do it, have all the differant makes at your home at the same time them you would know what you want.

    and, welcome the the forum

    Ditto what Joe said. What M10s do you have, what tweeter?? My system is all Monitor series 2 so they all have the SL2500 tweeter. The best center I found to match was the CS350LS. For surrounds, sides try to find a M7, M5, or M5jr on eBay etc.. Rear same thing or Polk's dipole series IMO.
    Welcome to the Forum too.
    BTW-top right in yellow, parts and service, you will find your grlles.
