Buckeyefan makes somes good points when comparing to 6ohm vs 8. Personally, I'd prefer to go with the more broadly used / compatible 8 ohm's unless you know what you are doing, and that you've got or...

Exactly. Would work for surrounds, but if these are your fronts you are hurting. Eat mac & cheese for a month and put the extra money on something better. Newegg has the Energy CF-30's for 100 each....

They don't. They're essentially the same as the older R30s. The R50 has an extra bass/midrange speaker.

An earlier post said floor stands for the Pioneers were about $100 each.
Why not just get 4 Polks and use them for floor stands for the Pioneers? Save $200! :wave:

Like someone else said with how Frys sold the R50's for years at $60 its difficult to thumb this up but really how can you go wrong for $50. I have 4 R50's so no value to me though.

I'm guessing if people are buying these cheap speakers, discussion of an $800 AVR is probably over their heads. Polk is good for cheap setups.

Entry level Polk. The RTi and RTiA series, as well as the LSi when driven properly are great speakers. The RTi A1 bookshelves are some of the nicest I've heard.
