Suggestions on HT front speakers (1 Viewer)

[brusk]

Budget about $600 but if I can get something decent for cheaper great. Living room use for 95% HT use occasional Rock/Hard Rock never really turn it up too much as the gf complains. Room is 30x15x8 with the couch in the middle. Current equipment is Samsung 65" TV, marantz AVR, SVS PB-1000 Sub and Yamaha HTIB 2800's that I'm trying to replace. Work at home and have no time or place locally to really go listen. Just by some reviews and stuff I've read I was considering maybe the Klipsch RC-52/RB-51 or Maybe some Polk RTI A3's but hoping you guys can help save my money and spend it wisely.

1) Polk RTi 10's are $499 shipped from the previously mentioned Polk Ebay Store.


2) RTi 8's are $300/pr (bought at $149 each) but a little light on bass response for a tower.


3) Ac4l.com has quite a few bookshelves for $600 and under. Acouple of towers too but nothing too exciting.
