About to buy a 3.1 system that comes with the psw111....... Now I am stuck with deciding between tsi 500 with cs20 or the rti a7 with csi a4....... It will mostly be 80% music . I have listened to both and can't decide!!! I have a denon 2309 receiver and need all the help I can get, thx!!

    Most people would recommend the the RTi's for HT as they are more suited for that. If you do get the RTi's, I would go with the CSiA6 as your center, the center is the most important speaker in any HT and it carries somewhere around 50-75% of any movies soundtrack. Don't skimp if you can afford/fit it in. It would be a toss up between the two IMHO. Welcome to Club Polk.

    Rti's would get my vote. If its really going to be 80% music, then you'll only use the center 20% of the time. You could turn up the gain to the CSiA4 a little to combat the bigger towers. Also, look into the A9's if you can swing the extra cash. They're the flagship of the RTiA series for a reason.
