    Your speakers should be timbre matched, with the center being the most important. Grab that amp and look for a LSiC.

    Welcome! Interesting mix of the Polks and the JBL; you really don't see that around here. I am a fan of their L-series so keep rocking it if you like it.

    $300 for the GFA-555 at a pawn shop isn't bad. You are going to have to pay their mark-up, so I would pick it up for the LSi15. Some Polkies have that amp and it works well with high-demand 4 ohm speakers like the LSis.

    If possible, check Audiogon.com and see if they have anything that might catch your eye. You might find that 555 at a better price...seems I just saw one going for $200.
