Front Speaker Suggestions

edited January 2009 in Speakers
I'm looking to set up a 7.1 system. The rear four speakers will be from the RM10 line. I'd like to get a fuller sound from the front (and I'm sure I'll end up changing the backs later) but I am undecided on what to use. Here's what I've found...

These are all being liquidated at CC:

Tsi100 - $160/pair
R300- $150/each
M20- $110/each

I'm concerned that the M20 wouldn't be much of a an upgrade over the Tsi100. I don't want to overpower my backs, but I won't be surprised to catch the upgrade bug. I do plan on switching out the center, but won't even worry about that until I picked the fronts.

I've also considered trying my luck for some Monitors on polkdirect.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Center- CS1
Surrounds- Monitor 30's (side), RC60i's (rear)
Sub- PSW10

    I'd like to find something for about $250/pair (especially knowing I'll still need to upgrade my center channel). This "small" theater install is quickly rising in cost and I don't think my wife will appreciate any more.

    These would likely migrate to the back later, so I can always go better in the front later. Seems silly to go much more expensive with the smaller speakers in the back.
