Hey,
I was wondering if I would see a huge difference in my setup if I switched to tower speakers. Here is a list of what I am currently using:

Rti6(mains)
CsiA4(center)
FXIA4(Surround)
Velodyne 3750
HK 254(amp)

Also any comments about my setup as is would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.

    My guess is that if you jumped to RTi A9's you may notice a difference, but likely anything else (lesser) would be a minimal difference. Are you unsatisfied with your current setup? It looks solid to me.
    Polk Audio RTi A3 (mains)
    Polk Audio CSi A4 (center)
    Polk Audio RC60i (rears)
    BIC Acoustech PL-200 (sub)
    Denon AVR-590 (receiver)
    Samsung LN46B550 (LCD)
    Sharp BD HP22U (Blu-ray player)

    From an RTi6 to an RTiA9 would be a huge jump, does the amp have enough power to drive the 9's? If not, an RTiA5, maybe a 7, but then the 7 at 300 potential watts might need some extra power to drive also.

    If the OT is looking for a little extra bump, try looking at the RTiA5's or maybe event the Monitor 60 :smile:
