I have and csi 3 and a set of rti8s. What is my best bet for surrounds without breaking the bank?

If you have room on the side walls, put a bid on these. Try to get them shipped for around $200 (or less, of course).

If not, get the RTi4's if you can get a deal. It's hard to believe the best they're going for now is $130 each. If that's too much, these should be fine. Polk M10, with a 3/4" dome tweeter and 5.25" woofer.

The M10's sound like <b>shiite</b>. <img src=http://forums.tccoa.com/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif>

Get the RTi4's if you can. I have them for surrounds with my RTi8's and CSi3 center and they work great. If they are too much, get the Monitor 30's, but you will be happier with the RTi's!

what about the fx300i. The only thing would be they recommened 5-100 watts and my reciever is 110 watts. Would these be better than the rti4s?

I like directional speakers better, so that comes to a personal preference.

I also haven't heard that model you are talking about so I can't tell you how they sound! But I've heard the RTi 4's, the Monitor 30's and the M10's and I'd take the RTi's (well I did...) over the other ones.
