I have RTI4s front, CSI3 center, and need to upgrade surround back and side pairs. I am looking at either FXI3 side Atrium 45 back, or possibly Monitor 30 side Atrium 45 back. Anyone who has opinions on this I would appreciate help deciding. Running off 110wpc Yammie RXV-1400. Velodyne sub. Help, I'm going mad!
Front RTI4s
Center CSI3
Velodyne ULD-18 Sub

Technics SL-7 turntable
Yamaha RX-V1400 A/V Reciever
Dish Network DVR
Playstation 2 and 3 both optical out
Sony Wega 34" Widescreen CRT HDTV

    I would strongly suggest sticking with the RTI lineup. You could upgrade you fronts, and move your 4's back.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Atriums are technically outdoor speakers, and I would not recommend using them IMO. Of course, you can get them wet so if you spill your beer there is no problem! Move your 4's back and get some 6's for the front.

    That will give you a fairly sweet 5 channel. IMO don't waste your money on 7 channel unless you have a very big room. Save the coin, and start savin' for an amp upgrade. The move to separates is where you will want to be to make it to the next rung on the ladder, and you will see immediate impact with the 6's.
