Hey there, just got Polk RM 6750 5.1 Set up. I am using Pioneer VSX 919AHk Receiver and Pioneer BDP 51FD Player with Sony KDL 46V2500 LCD but my question is which Floorstanding speakers will work best for my system setuo the way it is. Thanks. Wish I still had my Polk SDA arrays I had back it the 80's. Love Polk speakers. Glade to be in the club. thanks again..

    I prefer A9s over both of those! But that's a bit of coin.

    Not a big fan of the lower RTIs...Flagship ONLY!

    I agree and thats why I own a pair of A9's:cool: But if this is the OP's budget then I say get the A5's and put the extra cash to the A6 center with a sub of course.

    He can sell the A4 center and the rti6's and have that extra cash as well for a good sub.

    He will thank us all later.

    Welcome back to Polk. If you want to build around the RM6750 and Pioneer 919 by just adding floorstanders I would say look for some Monitor 60's. There have been lots of good prices floating around for them lately. Don't expect SDA sound but with out plans for a major upgrade I would be looking for a pair of these. The Pioneer should drive them ok and if you step up too much, the rest of your speakers will really make you want to upgrade them much sooner than you think.

    I may have a CSI-A4 in mint condition for sale in the near future if you're interested.
