Help me decide..

Diversion

I have a pair of RTiA7's for my front towers.. I haven't bought anything else.. I can't decide on if I should go with the CSiA6 or CSiA4 for the center and FXiA6 or FXiA4's for the surrounds..

Is it better to go with the 6.5" center/surrounds since my RTiA7s have a 6.5" midrange? Will the 5.25" models not match the tonal sound of the RTiA7s?

I'm just thrown off by how LARGE the A6s are compared to the A4s..

I wonder why Polk didn't make a "mid-line" center channel and surrounds to match their "mid-line" tower speakers. A7s are hard to match up..

The CSi's are midline and they are the RTi's counterpart. If thats what your asking.

I'm already aware the CSi and FXi match the RTi 2008 line.

Not to be rude, but it looks like you didn't read my post at all. I'm asking if I should go for the 6.5" or 5.25" versions to match my RTiA7 front towers.

Ok sorry, lets try this again. Yes if you want close to perfect tember match go with the 6.5's. But the 5.25 mids will sound good also, because of the same tweeter. I suggest you use what you can fit, you cant go wrong with either.

Now to my other post. You see when you said, "I wonder why Polk didn't make a "mid-line" center channel and surrounds to match their "mid-line" tower speakers", I thought you ment the Rti's and CSi's, in which case, they are Polk's midline and the CSi is the midline match for the towers.
