Suggestions for replacing 10B's in HT?

I have a pair of 10B's (purchased new in 1989) that are my front speakers in my Home Theater. They still sound great and since my wife is not a big subwoofer fan, they fill in the base pretty well without the sub, but I am wondering if I should replace them with some new fronts and a sub, or just add a sub. What do you think? What would you replace the 10B's with, if it was up to you?
The setup is as follows:
Yamaha HTS5960 7.1 receiver
Polk 10B Fronts
Polk CSi3 Center
Polk M10 Surrounds

If you have a home theater built around 10b's now. I would get a sub if you don't already have one and some SDA 1b's (or equal vintage) for the front - perhaps moving your current 10b's to the back.
MichaelMains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms) -
I can't imagine needing a sub to go with 10Bs...unless you have a very large room or like to rattle the neighbors house as well as your own.Steve Carlson

Add a sub, the 10B's only go down to 37hz, for home theatre it will add a lot of impact. I have SDA1C's, which go down to 26hz, I never felt the need for a sub for music, but for HT it was a great improvemnet.
