I am currently putting together a new H/T set up. So far I have RTIA5,s for fronts, Yamaha RX-V861 reciever and a PSW 125 sub. My next purchase will be rears. I am not quite sure which way to go. I am considering RTIA3's,FXIA6's or maybe another set of RTIA5's.


And yes I know the PSW505 is better but I've been pretty hapy with my current sub.


Any suggestions would be appriciated.

    I personally like having my surrounds up over my head. Both fxia6's and RTI a3 are good options. I am running the fxi a6 on my back wall only because my theater seats are up against the back wall as well and using them aims the woofer and tweeter at the listener.

    x2 on Lee's suggestion. Either the FXi's or the RTi bookshelves will work fine. The FXiA6's or RTi A3's would be the better choice over the FXiA4's or RTi A1's, but those will also work.

    A lot of people prefer the FXi's over the front firing bookshelves for surround sound.
