Hi, all. 
Hoping for some advice on upgrading my existing setup.
I currently have Klipsch RF-35's for L/R, and RC-35 for center.
I have a Polk PSW350 powered sub (10"), and I'm currently using a mis-mash of older Polk's for surrounds, in a 6.1 configuration, at the moment (just because I had them laying around).
I'm pushing everything with a Sony STR-DA1000ES, if that helps.
I've been very happy with the overall sound of the system, but the weak point is definitely the rear setup as opposed to the front. I'd like to upgrade them to something that will give me better sound, and perhaps match the timber of the Klipsch's. (I don't know if this is as important for surrounds, but it makes sense logically.)
Since I can't get the RS-35's anymore (The Klipsch surrounds designed to match my speaker series), does it make sense to go with something like the RS-42's to work my front 35's, from that standpoint?
Secondly, how do these surrounds work in the context of a 7.1 system? It looks like the 42's and 62's are dipolar, and I'd think that would work well for the side speakers, but less so for the rear speakers. I don't see any Klipsch non-dipolar options, other than bookshelf speakers.
Finally, the viewing position forced by the shape of the room (and the WAF) puts the couch up against the back wall, unfortunately. I'm kinda thinking I need to ceiling mount whatever I get. In that case would it make more sense to go to built-ins? And if so, again, which [Klipsch?] built-ins would work best for the existing front speakers?
If someone thinks I'd have better results going with a speaker other than Klipsch for all the rear speakers, I'm open to thoughts on the subject... I'm not married to the idea of an all-Klipsch system, but in my mind (which is certainly not the most informed compared to others here), a matched system often helps make things seem more seamless.
(And yes, I also plan to upgrade the sub at some point, but it's not a huge priority at the moment... I'm eying the SVS PB10-NSD for the upgrade.)
