I currently have the RM705 speakers with the subwoofer and want to replace the front, center and sub with TSI100, CS10 and PSW10. Will they match up with the RM705 rear and side surrounds? I am using a Yamaha RX-V863 receiver. Thanks

    welcome to CP. They should be fine for surround duty, although like all of us, be prepared to open your wallet because the upgrade bug will bite.

    +1, lol that bug seems to bite here often!! Why are you upgrading? Are you looking to build a system that will last, or just a quick upgrade? Why the 100's as fronts, are the 200's out of your budget? There are some guys here who have used the Monitor 40's as their fronts and have not been dissapointed, you can still get them for $150, w/ free shipping a pair from Newegg. I would think they would be "better" as your front soundstage, matched with the CS1 from the Monitor series for $99 + shipping from J&R Audio and the PSW10 $115 w/ shipping from Buy.com. All for around $370, the setup you are looking for in the TSi series would cost you around $440. Not a huge diff. in price but w/ the 40's you get two 5 1/4" drivers as opposed to the TSi 100's one. Just food for thought, but to answer your original question, they should work fine for surround duty. Welcome to Club Polk.
