I already own an onkyo tx-sr606 receiver, cs20 frontal speaker and psw10 sub. I am looking to buy soon frontal speakers and surround speakers. Any recommendation? My room right now is not so big. Thanks in advance.

Actualmente poseo un receiver onkyo tx-sr606, un central cs20 y un sub psw10. Estoy a punto de comprarme unos frontales y unos envolventes, pero aún no me decido ¿Alguna sugerencia para sacar el mejor partido para lo que ya tengo? la habitación es de tamaño medio. De antemano gracias.

    You can find great prices on the Monitor series, but they definitely aren't quite as nice cosmetically as the TSI series. I have Monitor 70's, 60's, and CS2 for my setup, but I just bought a pair of TSI 100's that I haven't figured out what to do with yet. I think you could definitely use the 100's as surrounds if you want to stick with the TSI series. How big is the room you'll have this set up in? Welcome to Club Polk!

    Midium size room. I was looking for the Tsi 400 and 500 as a frontal speaker. My first objective right now, is to choose the correct frontals for my receiver and for my cs20. Thanks.

    Very difficult decision. Tsi 400 vs tsi 500 vs RTI A5. Tsi 500 and RTI A5 are almost at the same price. Any comment?

    I would stick with the TSi series as you already have the CS20. The tweeters a very different between the TSi and RTiA series and would cause timbre natching issues. Either the 400's or 500's will work fine for you, but I would suggest the 500's, lol. As for surrounds either the TSi 100's or 200's would be your best bets. Depending if you needed to wall mount them or you can put them on stands, either would work very well. Good luck and welcome to Club Polk.

    Thank you for your help. I though the OWN series were the way to go but, I think am going to stay with the TSi series. Any specific reason becasue de OWN series would not work?

    Sorry, didn't see any mention of the OWM series anywhere, was just going with the TSi/RTiA series I saw. The OWM series is timbre matched to the Monitor series, IIRC so they should also work well with the TSi series as well, since they are pretty similar lines. Just recommended the TSi series since you already owned them and they would be the best option, atleast as far as looks are concerned.
