Hi:

I currently have RTia7 for front speakers. I have 2 Infinity Bookshelf for surrounds, but I want to upgrade surrounds. Not sure if Monitor 40 or RTi4.
I know RTi4 are real wood, and better construction, but Monitor's 40 has 2 woofers. Anyway Im looking for better quality sound. Can't afford more that $200, the other RTiA1, RTiA3 are way expensive. Any recommendations?

    RTi4 (or FXi series) FTW! Monitor 40 is from a different series completely and is not as easily wall mountable. RTi4 has integral keyhole slot on the back. Just screw into a stud and hang up the speaker if you need to wall mount.
