m10 or m30
Have 1 pair m10's as front, cs1 center and psw10. Want to add another pair for rear. Found a great price for m30's. Can I move m10's to rear and add m30's to front? Will sound be ok? Or just stick with another pair of m10's. System used for gaming mostly.

Hello, bears.
It would seem to me that would be a good route to take, if you can get the M30's for a good price.
The M30's will give you a little wider sound with a slightly larger tweeter that matches the CS1 you have.
The M10's won't have any trouble holding up their end of the board if you then move them to the rear.
There's a "System Builder" link on the Polk web site that'll show what they recommend for various conditions.

You didn't mention what amp/receiver you have, but assuming a smaller setup (for gaming), you'll see that Polk recommends:
M40's for fronts
M30's for rears
PSW10 for sub
Your setup of
M30's for fronts
M10's for rears
? for sub
will do you just fine. You didn't mention a subwoofer, but that would be highly recommended.
Have some fun !
