Hello polkies!!

I am new on this business of the home theaters, I have bought my first two frontal speakers and I am trying to arrange my complete HT, the speakers that I bought are TSi300.

Now, I am looking for the surround speakers, one friend of mine is selling a pair of RTi100 ($400 pair) and in craiglist I found a pair of RT800 ($200 pair); I am not sure which would match better for the new speakers that I bought (TSi300), could anybody of you help me to choose?

Or maybe none of these speakers are good for me?

Also I would like to know which would be a good center speaker to use and subwoofer, (right now the problem is for the sourround speakers)

Thanks in advance for all your help

by the way my receiver is a Denon AVR-589
8 Ohms
75 watts per channel

    Thanks for your answer Tex.

    The main purpose of the HT is going to be for movies, I just got a blue ray player and the sound is very good even with the old yamaha speakers That I have (HT in box).

    So, I decided to upgrade my HT (If this sound is produced with the old speakers imagine with the polk speakers how good it would be).

    I was thinking on tower speakers because I think those have more power, I think the satellite speakers do not have power as the tower speakers, maybe I am misundestanding the function of the rear/sourround speakers.

    I still can return the speakers TSi300 to Best buy and if you have a good recomendation I would really appreciate it for my upgrade.

    Thanks

    RT800i. It's a surround application so timbre matching really isn't that crucial and you'll save some money.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Thanks a lot to everybody,

    Now I know the directions to take, I will look for the TSi100/200 for surround, CS10 or CS20 For central and PSW110 or PSW125 for subwoofer.

    Thanks again.
