I think I have it narrowed down to using the Polk monitor floorstanding speakers with Polk center for the front 3.

For the surround sides and rears I will be forced to use in ceiling speakers.


Should I:


1) use Polk ceiling speakers (RC60i?) for about $200 for all 4

2) use the Monoprice speakers for about half that cost

Or some other combination for around the same price?

if you are mainly concerned with a HT setup for movie audio, than just about any decent surround speakers will work fine. There really is not that much on the surround audio channel to challange the speakers....most of it is "positional audio" to give a sense of a 3D soundfield.


Surround music is a different beast, where matching the surrounds to the fronts is more critical, particulary the tweeters.
