Upgrading HT

Hey all,
New here but on several different forums.
I'm in the process of replacing my Onkyo HTIB which has served me well for a year, but it's time for it to go.
So I started with a pair of R50s, and I'm thinking of going with a CSi25 I've found for the center, but I'm having trouble finding some R15s for the rear (in cherry). Is there something else that will match visually and sonically with the r50s and CSi25? I'm going with an Onkyo TX-606 for the receiver as well, but I have no idea what sub to get (the current one isn't even powered, it's horrible).
Any advice is greatly appreciated, but I'm an HT newbie for the most part so the technical stuff is best left to others
.
Cheers,
Mike

Have you thought about another set of R50's (or 30's)?Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms) -
I second McLoki on the speaker matching. The center that matches is the CRS. I can be a little hard to find, but is the match for your speakers. As far as a subwoofer goes, any Polk one will do you well, as well as a number of people like SVS.
