I am relitively new to home theatre sound. I like to by good stuff, buy it once and have it last. I watch all movies on Sony PS3, and my reciever is a Sony STRDG910 bought january 2008.

I currently have:
  • Polk CSIA6 Center speaker
  • Polk PSW125 Subwoofer
  • Polk RTIA7 Front Floor Speakers

I only have space for 5.1 and and wondering if I should go with POLK RTIA3 or FXIA4 for my rear speakers.

    Both work great as surrounds. I would have to say it all depends upon room configuration. I found the Fxi a series work best in my situation as my theater seating is up against the rear wall.

    I like the sound music wise with the Rti a3's when listening to music in all stereo.

    General concencus seems to be that if you use it more for home theater go with the FXiA4, if you use it more for music go with the RTiA3.

    Go for the A3s, they work the best all around,
