What is the difference between these?

I was looking between the Polk CS20 and TSi 500 or RTi A5 and CSi A6. Are they about the same or which would be better?

The RTi line is the next step up from the TSi line. You should be able to hear a difference in quality between the two. If you can't though, it's a good way to save some $$.

I see the TSi is $399 ( ) on Newegg but they didn't list the other one, nor did Amazonr: just this one, the RTi A7 - http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-Flo...7219494&sr=1-2 - $549 ! - Must be some seriously nice speakers for those prices. (well, better than my planned T90e's anyway. )

Myself, not being a audiophile, I really don't know if I would hear a difference, as aramis stated above. I believe I picked the best speakers for my ears, and saved a few $, too.

Depends on which you have already. Match the center to your left and right speakers if possible. If you go to the product page at Polk Audio, at the bottom they have like a "Recommended Setup" will tell you which speaker matches best.

Cool, good info.

Btw, only One PSW-10?!

I've listened to a few in the RTi line. They're nice. Personally I chose to go elsewhere for the same price, but if you like Polk you'll like them as well.
