Hi, just bought a pair of rti10s for front sides and will be getting a csi5 for center. I'm debating on what surround speakers to get. I will get a receiver w/ 130wattsx7 or 140wattsx7. I'm planning ahead for a 7.1 setup so am thinking the best possible setup would be 2 fxi5s for surround sides and 2 rti6s for surround rears. I have a few questions though.
1) I'm concerned that the rti6s will get damaged w/ a reciever sending 130-140watts to them. The rti10s sounded nice w/ a 140watt denon when listening to them at purchase time so would like a capable receiver for that. What's the likelyhood of damage occuring and why or why not?
2) I'm concerned that a different variation of the surround speakers would be better. The majority of my time will be movie watching. Would four fxi5s or four rti6s be a better or worse setup?
Thanks in advance

1 - no worries. Speakers are usually blown by not enough power, rarely by to much.
2 - I would at least get Fx series for the sides. Choice of Fx or RTi for the rear - not really sure of. I have heard of many people happy with both setups. Whatever you decide - let us know what you like and why.Mains.............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)
