need help picking between polk speakers

[OS]

R30

R50

Yesterday I got R30s for 50 each/100 pair from frys.

Today frys is selling R50s now for 70 each/140 pair

I've read several reviews, half like the R30 over R50, and half vice versa.

Any suggestions or arguments either way? They seem almost the same except the R50s are about 3 inches taller and have the extra midrange driver.

Using a subwoofer? stick with the R30

Cranking extra loud without a subwoofer? Upgrade.
