I am looking for some input from you guys about some rear surrounds i am thinking about picking up in the next month. I am currently running RTi 10's up front with a CSI A4 Center. I have it powered by a Yamaha receiver (which will be getting replaced shortly with a Pioneer Elite 91 receiver). Anyway these are the rears i am looking at. the speakers will be placed about 4 ft to the side and 2ft above my listening spot and will be used mainly for movies.

Polk FXi 3
Polk FXi A4 or
Def Tech BP1.2x Dual 4 1/2 2 war bipolar speakers.

anyone with these speakers or who has heard them both please let me know what you think so i can make the best choice for my theater set up. thanks for taking the time to look at and respond to this post.

    I have the FX1 A4 and have been very happy with them. They look nice and sound great. I haven't heard the Def Tech's, but I think the Polk's would be the best choice because of your other speakers. First of all, they would match visually and more importantly you'd get the same "sound" from all of your speakers (even though I don't think it's as important for surrounds).

    I would buy the FXI3 if you can find them for less than $200. I've seen a few white pairs go for low prices.
