Trying for a complete Polk System...

I currently have a CSi40 for center, RTi38's for fronts, and am using a CSi30 for rear speaker. Also have two crap speakers for surrounds. Looking to replace the surrounds and trying to decide what to do. Thinking I could do RTi70's (if I could ever find any) for the fronts and move the 38's to surrounds. Otherwise try to find another pair of RTi38's or RTi28's for the surrounds. For the most part all I can find though have been a few RT35i's and RT25i's. Would these work well or any reason to be patient and try to keep them all RTi? Also, is using the CSi30 for back a stupid move? Any advise appreciated.

    All seem to be pretty good ideas, but RTi38s or 35is are pretty big for a wall mount. The CSi30 in a 6.1 config is fine. I've never heard the RTi38s, but the 35i is a nice speaker, you might prefer it.

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B
    PB13Ultra RO

    Thanks for the response, I'll probably end up going the RT35i or RTi38 route if for no other reason but the space savings between towers and bookshelfs up front.
