Currently I have Rti10 fronts, Csi5 center, RM2000 rears, and stacked
PSW404/PSW303 subs. My fronts and center are fine. I want to upgrade the rears and sub. Which should I do first?

For subs, I looking at eD/SVS/Hsu/Polk DSW line. Any comments on which will be the best for my set-up. my room is 18 x 14 with an 18 foot ceiling and open on one end.

For rear surrounds, I'm looking at Polk Fxi3 or Rti4. Any comments on these.

They are all being driven with a Yamaha RX-V2500 AVR with the possibility of a seperate amp being added later.

All comments are appreciated.

    go for the Fxi3s if youre going for 5.1 HT, you can add rti4s if you decide to go 7.1 As for sub I would suggest Epik, HSU, or SVS. Ed makes very good quality subs however youre looking at a wait time of 2 months or more. I personally hate waiting that long, so check out the others. If youre going SVS I would go for the PB13Ultra or the PB12 Plus 2. Epik Conquest is a beast if the budget allows, or you can go with a smaller sub and still be fine.
