I currently have LSi7's up front with a LSiC center channel. I'm running an PW10 SVS sub and I have rather large Bose speakers in the rear that my wife can't stand and need to be replaced. I'm hoping in the future to be able to afford LSi9's and move the 7's to the rear, but that's way down the road. I'm looking for suggestions on some decent speakers for the rear that are under $200 and will blend decently with the Polks.

    Unless you listen to a lot of 5-channel stereo, you can get away with just about anything... at least for a short while. Maybe try to snag a pair of older used Polk bookshelves. The FXi series are all a great choice for rear channels as well.

    I use my system mostly for Movie's and the XBOX 360. I had thought about B&W DM601's, but doubt I can find them for under $200.

    Monitor 30 / 40, or RTi4 / 6.

    The Polks will be a closer match in the midrange, vs the B&W's.

    Cheers,

    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    I'll have to check out the Monitor 30's. I've never heard of them.

    I love how music can brighten up a bad day.

    Tweeter carries Monitor 30s under the psuedonym T20EBs. They've had some good deals on them recently.

    I'm sure if you post an add in the WTB section, someone could hook you up with a pair they're not using on the cheap. I have an extra pair myself, but I'm holding onto them so I can go 7.1 in the future.
    Stereo Rig: Hales Revelation 3, Musical Fidelity CD-Pre 24, Forte Model 3 amp, Lexicon RT-10 SACD, MMF-5 w/speedbox, Forte Model 2 Phono Pre, Cardas Crosslink, APC H15, URC MX-950, Lovan Stand
    Bedroom: Samsung HPR-4252, Toshiba HD-A2, HK 3480, Signal Cable, AQ speaker cable, Totem Dreamcatchers, SVS PB10-NSD, URC MX-850

    Thanks everyone. From what I'm reading it will be a good idea to stick with some type of Polk speaker instead of another brand. I'll check the Tweeter website out.
