Keep my Keff Eggs as surround or .....

BiotypE

I just picked up two RTIA5s to replace a pair if KEF IQ5s.
I am currently still running a KEF IQ60 center but intend on getting the
POLK CSIA4.

I am on a bit of a budget here so I am wondering if I would be better off just sticking with my KEF eggs 2005.2 for my surrounds or picking up a pair of RM8s to replace the KEF surrounds. The KEFs are quality speakers for sure, I am more concerned with tone balance.

If waiting to get the FXIA4s would be worth it I can always do that as well.

Your thoughts?

Thanks. I know the KEFs are quality speakers and I am concerned that the RM series allthough somewhat more timbre matched with my new RTIs would not be near the quality of the KEFs. Perhaps I answered my own question and should just wait to get the FXIA4s.

I was hoping there might be an older Polk substitute for the FXIA4s that would work better than my Kefs as far as sonic improvement in timbre but would not hit me in the wallet as much.

i have the A5's as well paired with the a4 center. I think it sounds great. Most people say that you want the A6 for the center since 70% of dialogue on movies goes through the center. If possible i would get the A6 and keep the kef's for the surrounds until u get some more $.

there are some older fx style speakers. Cant think of the model # right now but you could go to the older model of the RTI line surrounds to save some coin.
