    Any of the speakers from the RTi series will match the CSi A4. Are you looking for bookshelf speakers or floorstanders? What's your budget? What are you driving the speakers with?

    APC H10 Power Conditioner

    Parasound Halo P5 preamp

    I've got the same AVR...great entry level receiver.

    Any of the RTi series bookshelves would work. Either the RTi A1's or RTi A3's will match well with the CSi A4. You could save a little coin to put towards other parts of your setup by getting the older versions of those speakers too, the RTi4's and RTi6's.

    With a budget of 500 bucks, what I'd do is get a pair of RTi6's for the fronts, and replace the RM's with some RTi4's for surrounds. You'd have a fully timbre matched setup then. If you shopped around for a good deal, you could probably get the RTi A3's and RTi A1's for under 500 too.

    Check Polk Directs ebay store. They've usually got great deals on refurbished speakers.
