Hey guys. I have been considering some Monitor 70's, then i found out about RTi8's. Well i had heard Tweeter had a nice deal on the RTi8's but none of the stores in my area had them. But they had a deal on the RTi10's, buy one get one free. So i picked up a pair of RTi10's for $479.90, along with a CSiA4 for $249.99 and they gave me some Atrium 50's along with it all for free. I am now in the Polk Club:D.

    I'm still mulling it over...I just don't know if it will pay off. I'm still wondering if it would make a difference sonically? Worth the extra $$$ ????

    Nice Metal, that's an excellent start. I'm sporting the 10s with a csi3 center and fxi3 rears. Very good for music, but even better for a good HT setup!

    Yeah i post on AVS a lot. I havent picked a sub yet tho, i keep getting recommendations for the HSU and ED.

    Another question though, I need something to mount the center channel on the wall above my tv since it wont fit in front. My tv is the Samsung LN52A650 so i cant use one of those ones that hooks on to the tv either. Any suggestions?

    Oh for petes sake! Just buy one & find out for yourself! At one time you swore you would never use a sub for your 2 channel setup & now you'll never be without one!

    All of our talking to you about will never replace what your own 2 ears hear. So go get one!:D

    So since i have RTi10's and the CSiA4, what would be good rears/surrounds? Would the RTiA1's be good?
    I'm only doing a 5.1 system right now.

    Welcome metal83! I like the RTi4 for surrounds. Some others will like the more diffuse sound of the Polk dipoles. Check out something like the Fxi3 or FXi4, look Here

    Welcome to Club Polk!:)
