I've got a pair of 10s I got back in the 80s, still in good shape, I'm hoping to use for a home theater. Room is 16'x11', with the screen on the long wall. I'd mount rear speakers on the back side walls.

The polk site says my center speaker should be a CSi5. What should I use for subwoofer, and rear speakers? And if I wanted to do 6.1, what rear center speaker?


Thank in advance...

    surrounds - anything small/bookshelf, or any of the polk surrounds will do. i never considerred timbre matching to be exremely important with surrounds. stick with polk though to avoid completly differnt sounds.


    sub? - anything your budget will stand. the 2 big mainstay names for the home theater guys here is SVS and HSU. you just can go wrong with them, get the biggest you can aford. dont chinz on the sub.

    diy is an option if your handy. i went that route (and am not very handy:p ) and it works great, for little dough.
