Ok as the topic states. As of now I have a Pioneer VSX-1040 home theater receiver, along with a set of RTI10 from FS.

Here is the list of other speakers by Polk I was looking into
RTIA1 Bookself
CSIA4 or maybe the CSIA6 center
PSW125 Sub

Just wanting to see what others think of this setup or should I consider something else?

Thanx

    Welcome to Club Polk!

    What is your budget? :D

    Are you going for a 5.1 surround setup or 7.1? What is your room size? Music or Movies or some combination of both?

    On just what you've posted - sounds like the start of a good system.

    I'd say get the CSiA6 - and maybe step up to a better sub.

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    Yes I am from The Great White North :)
    Ok I was going for a 5.1 setup in a room 9x20
    I was going to bi-amp the RTI10.
    My setup will be for both movies and music. My budget is in the range of 4000-5000 for a complete sound setup up.

    It's a big country, what province? I'm originally from Alberta and BC.
    It isn't easy to find great deals up there unless someone is closing out.

    Does your receiver have pre-amp outputs?

    I am from Nova Scotia. The Amp is capable of bi-amping. As for deals they are few and far between I usually keep an eye on Future Shop for sales. The RTI10 I picked up during the Boxing Day sale for $500. Which I didnt think was bad price. Also I checked the specs on the RTi10 and the RTia7. Seems they are one in the same except for the contour & alot bigger price on the RTia7.
