the best set they have is the rm20 and my store doesn't carry them anymore, the rm85/95 series sounds average, maybe i'm just spoiled with my rti setup, but i wish they had a better satelite setup, anyone else agree?

    FYI, you can still get the rm20 from Polk Direct on ebay(polk's ebay store). It's not just Polk, it's pretty much everyone. There's only so much that can be done on speakers that small. Unfortunately, there is no replacement for displacement:) The VM series is really nice for the size, but expensive. I'm in the same boat really. I only have space for satellites. As my sig states, I'm using a combo of OMW5s and an RM20 5pack. It actually works quite well for HT, especially if you have the means to made plenty of adjustments:) I don't use them often for music though, that's when the 11Ts get to play...

    Any of you guys ever consider useing the Atriums as sats ? They maybe a tad bigger than the RM's,but smaller than a bookie. I would think the Atrium 55,or 60 would make a damn good sat. speaker.

    That is what I was thinking Tony, I can tell you from first hand experience the new A4's would serve that purpose very well.
