Polk Bookshelf Dilemma

[CarolinaBlu]

Hey, everyone. I'm thinking about building myself a HT and here's what I'm thinking so far:
Onkyo 606
Polk Monitor 50's
Polk PSW10
Polk CS10

...but here's where I need some help. I don't know whether I should go for the Polk R150's for the rears or for the Monitor 30's. They're the same price for a pair at newegg.com.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

The Monitor 30s. They are a step up from the R line.

Also, I have a similar setup (look in my gallery) and it sounds great!

Gnice! Thanks for the look out, Jason.

You have a decent setup plan, but I would suggest the next step up from the CS1 and Monitor 50's.

Polk Monitor 60's - They're only $125 each on amazon. I was recommended to get these speakers if I couldn't afford the Monitor 70's, and was told that these are still amazing speakers for the price

Polk CS2 - It will match perfectly with the Monitor 60's, only $100 on amazon. This is the speaker that I was recommended to get when I get my monitor 60's. It's supposed to blow the CS1 out of the water

As for the sub, I bought the PSW10 as my first sub, and it's great for a decent setup (I'm using mine in my bedroom and it seems pretty strong), but I'm going to be moving to a bigger place here soon and I'm planning on getting the eD A2-300 for my living room. This is the best bang for the buck sub out right now. I think they're around $350 online. And if you decide to stick with the PSW10, it works great for me in my room, I'm just not sure how it would perform in, say, a living room

I have Monitor 30s in the back (mounted on the wall - almost caused a divorce ) and they sound great.

The monitor 30's will be better timbre-matched with the fronts. Some say this is not as important as having the front three match, but it never hurts.

Monitor 60's are $168 from Amazon or $125+ 25 shipping from Wholesale AV. You can probably get them for right around $300 shipped on ebay + live.com cash back if you decide to go that route.
