Hey Guys:
I am looking to upgrade my rear surrounds and I was wonder what all of you Polkies are running? I was leaning toward the FXI A4's from Amazon. I do see a lot of RTi6's. I was wondering why people chose them over the FXI's.
My setup:
Onkyo 805
(3) Outlaw 2200 mono's (front, center)
CSi3
RTi10's
FXi30's Side surround
Infinty SM 62 rear surrounds. (OLD)
PSW125 sub

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul

    I use the Fxi A4's for surrounds and RTi6's for rears. I needed the FXi A4's for the surrounds because of them being bipole and the mounting position in the room. The RTi6's are directly behind me.

    Don't know if that helps.

    I'm using Rti-4's for surrounds now but plan on adding Fxi A4's for surround and moving these to the rear later too.

    I read some go Rti 4, others are going Fxi A4....Im believe im going Fxi A4 for my 5.1 and then addin the Rti 4 later for a full 7.1...But i can see the Fxi A4 being useful in a 5.1 system

    I just bought a set of FXi A4 for my rears in my 5.1, couldn't be happier. Great speaker, you won't be disappointed.
