New Surround System for new house...
New house will be built in August and when it's done I'll be putting a new TV and surround sound setup into the living room.
The TV will be Toshiba 50 inch plasma but the main thing right now is I'm a bit unsure how well the components for the home theatre will mix together. It's pretty much exclusively going to be used for DVD's and tv watching but occasionaly a parties it may see some music but great music quality would be at the very bottom of my list of things I care about.
The setup I've gone with is:
Polk Audio CSI3 Center Channel
Polk Audio Monitor 50 BK Floor-Standing
Polk Audio R150 BookShelves for the Surround
Polk Audio PSW10 Subwoofer
The reciever is going to be the Onkyo TXSR505.
At this point I thikn I'm pretty well set but I'm wondering if it would be worth while to upgrade the 50BK to the 60. OR possibly if I can find a Tweeter going out of buisness in the area then the RTi8. Other then that since it's for tv watching mostly I'm wondering if I should look for a beter center channel speaker? And are the R150's going to work well enough for the surround speakers?
Basically thats where I sit any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also for those not familiar here are links to the onkyo reciever and Tv.

Have you ever considered in-walls? Polk has done some remarkable things with them, especially for HT set-ups, just a thought.
If you dont like that idea and want some nice speakers to look at, the Polk RTi is made specifically for Home Theater applications, they have a speaker for every budget.
You might want to move up the chain a bit with the ONK. Look for one with pre-outs for future power upgrades. I believe starting with their 700 series Onks have pre-outs.
Enjoy your new home and your Polk speakers.
