    well, i have a friend who has Klipsch fronts with a Polk CS400i, and the Klipsch's are more sensitive than the polk center. so he keeps blowing the tweeter in it. It's not to say the polk center isn't a good speaker. it is. I have one in my HT.

    what i'm getting at. is the mixing speakers from different manufactuers is going to cause you problems with imaging, clarity, and depth. I would match your three fronts to all one brand.. polk is real good. the imaging will be better. It was for me.. when I got all Polks.

    mains are rt1000i bi wired,
    center cs400i biwired,
    sub psw 350
    rear fx/300i
    Marantz sr5000 rec
    Marantz MA500 mono block amps

    it all works and sounds decent.

    btw.. kickass system you have.. with the 65" hdtv, velo sub, Onkyo.. step up the center and you'll be happier.

    good luck
