I am on my way to set up a home theater system, Each and every one of you are pros in sound. I am not so techinically good in sound though, but i like to listen to loud music with decent punch and movies ofcourse.
After i did some audition i have shortlisted the below set up. I have to use my BB gift card of $550, And BB is not having much options. So here is what i got.
Mains : Polk RTi8 (314*2)
Center : Polk CSi3 (199.00)
Sorround(book shelf) : Polk RTi 4
Subwoofer : VELODYNE DPS-12 ( 549.00)
Receiver : Yamaha HTR 5960BL(500.00) - This i have to buy from BB as i have to use the Gift card.

For the speakers and sub i have options to buy from outside. Is this speaker package goes with the receiver that i have selected..? or do you guys have any recommendations for the money i am planning to spend over here. Could you please take a look at this and suggest me if i am spending the decent amount for the quality of sound i will be getting from the above. And will the receiver drive the speakers that i have selected.

Was talking to one of my freind, he was recomending for Axiom M50's in place of Polk's as he has those sets with him. if we have to choose between Axiom V/s Polk which is the way to go.

I have seen people talking about only Yamaha RX series, not seen people buying HTR series, When i went through the specs i found that most of it is same the only diff i saw was the dual zone functonality that is not available in HTR series. I have selected this receiver becoz i have to use my giftcard at BB and they dont carry RX series. Please give me your opinions too. IF you had a BB card for 550 and want to spend on a Home theater system how can i balance it.

Thanks

your speaker choices are great...imo ...i think the only diffrence in the HT-R and the RX-V is cosmetics....the HT-R having gold writing and badges and the RX-V keeping the old style yamaha writing in white and aluminum face and dials...i say go for it....you will definetly love your mains and sub
