Okay after reading posts im throwing the r15 and the r30's out the window. Im now either going for some rti's: either the 4,6 or the old 38's or 25's. I would rather spend the extra $$ now than have to upgrade again. Another option would be to add the satellite surrounds that the 6800 system uses to my CS1, PSW10, with Onkyo 7.1 channel receiver. Any thoughts on the 6800 satellites. I can get all 4 and use 2 as fronts and 2 as rears. Thanks
HT- CS1, Infinity 12 in. sub, Onkyo receiver, m20's, and m10's

Car- Polk MOMO 6500 components, alpine 2 channel amp, Pioneer HU, Infinity Kappa Perfect 10 in. sub, Diamond Audio amp

    use the 4 sattelites as surrounds only. use the rti4 or 6 as mains. the CS1 as a center. I think thats the best way to lay out what you got, or almost got.

    Hi Chris

    Try the polk monitor 30 as surround sound. It's cheap but great performance.

    If you get extra bucks, try monitor 40...with double woofer. But the sound quality is the same...is POLK !!!!
