Surround speaker newbie

[sweetsdream]

Hi all, long time lurker on the forum. I would like to add some surround sound speakers to my 3.1 setup. I currently have Polk RTi8s in the front and a CSi3 for the center. This is in a 13' x 13' room all connected back to a Yamaha 3800. At some point I will upgrade all my speakers and I'm leaning towards Axioms. I know the surround speakers aren't as important for timbre matching as the center and fronts so I'm thinking about Axiom QS4s. They are around the same price as the FXiA4 on Crutchfield. What are your opinions? Are there better options? I'm looking to spend ~$400.

Thanks,

Tom

I think they will be fine. But I also think they are pricey for the application. I think direct-radiating bookshelf speakers would do just fine. I would put most of the budget for the front 3 speakers + subwoofer.

If your going to up-grade to Axiom in the near future then get the Axiom surrounds.

Or purchase these RTi6's to match your system from here
