Should I go with the Csi A4 / A6 I was looking at Polk Audio system bundles and they had the CSi A4 paired up with RTi A5 / A7 and the CSi A6 paired with the Rti A9.
I'm wondering if the A6 will be too strong for the A7?
Samsung-55 LED
Denon 3808ci
RTi A5 (Fronts)
CSi A6 (Center)
FXi 5 (Rears)
Velodyne DPS-12 (Sub)

    I think it depends on your sub and how much power you you plan to run. I have the CSiA6, should be the last center I will need.

    Polk Direct on ebay had some great prices.

    I agree with that of A6.Its really good and nice..My friend is using that but it seems to be expensive that's why i haven't have one right now.
