Any thoughts on these speakers versus other speakers in the same price range?

Also...I have a sub and center, and will use my current front speakers as surrounds. Since I also have a $200 credit for more speakers, any thoughts and what I should upgrade next (center/sub/surround)?

While I can't speak for these speaker cause i haven't heard them, if they sound good to your ears, you cannot go wrong, but do try to listen to competitors if possible.
Since you didn't mention the brand/model of your current speakers i'll say this...if the center is Polk, you may want to email them and ask if they are timbre matched to the RTi series. If they are not Polks or do not timbre match then definitely use the $200 credit for the matching RTi center channel. In HT, its very important all 3 fronts match so you have an even flow (panning) across these speakers....very important.
Surrounds SHOULD match, but are much less important because they are rarely used with no dialog.
As a former Polk owner I will guarantee Polk responds to your email. Their customer service is wonderful!
