Pairing Polk speakers from different lines

Hi Guys,

I'm very new, so please bare with me. I currently have a Denon AVR X3200 W that I am running a Polk C10 center channel to two TSI500 fronts with two RCI80 in wall rears.

My wife can't stand the large towers right in the center of our living room, so I'm compromising by mounting two bookshelf speakers closer to the edges of our 18 ft wide living room to replace the two TSI500's. I'm going back and forth between getting a set of RTi A3's brand new, or a pair of sparingly used 703's for about half the retail price. I'm also going to replace the center channel with either the CSi A4 or A6.

I'd be using the setup for both movie watching and music listening, with a wide range of taste on the music. I'm really just looking for the most versatile setup I can make with the above mentioned options.

So, should I go with the A3's and the CSi A4 to keep cost down or spend the roughly $500 more to upgrade to the slightly used 703's and an A6?

Thanks for any and all advice given.

Between those, I'd definitely prefer the LSiMs. The RTiAs are good but the LSiMs are worth the added price. IMO though, at the price point of the LSiMs, you open yourself up to speakers that are even better than them.
