I have a 2 RTi8's(Bi-Amped), a CSi3, and a Yamaha SW315 Sub. Powered by a Onkyo HT-RC160. I was wondering what i should get for surrounds, ive been looking at the FXi4's and they seem like a good match, but im wondering if there are some floorstanders i could use instead! I would love some of you guys/gals opinions on this thanks

How big is your room and layout?
Do you have space behind your listening spot for floorstanders?
Your choice also depends on how you mostly use your system between music and movies. If you like multi-channel music then direct radiating speakers may be your choice.
Here's a funny set of 'guidelines' from another forum:If your room is smallish and/or acoustically dead and/or you have multiple seats, dipoles tend to work better, with an even but compromised listening window.
If you have a larger and/or more live room with less seating, or seating away from the surround speakers, direct-radiating surrounds can be better.
If you are a sad, lonely, pathetic little man who sits in his solitary, cushy theater chair, five identical direct-radiating speakers, equidistant from your ears, can provide an absolutely holographic movie experience, allowing you to momentarily forget that you are lonely and unliked, with no friends.
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. -

Yep, that's pretty much it in a nutshell...
