Which one is better considering i have a room size of 14' X 14 '. The existing set up is RTi A7 for fronts / CsiA6 Center / presently using Tsi 100 for rears i want to make a 7.1 set up and thinking i could add either Tsi200 or FXiA6.

The options are considering the cost :

TSi200 or FxiA6 ( is this one worth for the extra money in comparison to Tsi200)

Regards

    Honestly, in a 14'X14' room I think 5.1 would be enough. A well set up 5.1 will outperform a cramped up 7.1 anyday. If you want to upgrade, get a set of 200's and use them in place of the 100's. Welcome to Club Polk.

    Welcome to CP.

    I agree with the above poster. 14x14 is pretty small for a 7.1 setup. I would recommend a good 5.1 over the 7.1. There is very few 7.1 content out the there. I would recommend the FXI's. The dipole will allow you to get better sound dispersion in the room and would create a more surround sound field in my opinion.
    Front - RTiA5's
    Rear - RTiA3's
    Center - CSiA4
    Sub - PSW110

    I really like my FXiA6s in the 5.1 config, and the the prior posts are right on.
    Work on a good 5.1 system...there is plenty to "work on" within a 5.1 system.

    I like the sound for the FXI's. I would go with the 5.1 as well as having a cramped 7.1 doesn't really add anything (trust me I've done it)
