Well, jsut as the title says, which of these towers is better all around. I have a pair of the RTi70's but am looking at a pair of RT800i's. Any help would be most appreciated!!

800i's are superior to my ear but not so much to be worth the bother in selling one and buying the other.

with good power behind them... they are both good sounding speakers.. and like jdhdiggs said.. not worth the trouble selling what you have and replace with the RT800i's.

I actually prefer the RTi70s - so it's just a matter of personal preference...

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, that's what I thought. I compared specs and they seem to be almost identical. Now I just purchased a used CS400i center. Will this be a good match with my RTi70's??

Oh ya, I failed to mention earlier, I use my system for 90% home theater. Does this change any opinions??

90% HT - you wont be able to hear the difference in any of the models - RT16, RT800, RT800i, RTi70, RTi8 - HT is just not a picky material for speakers.

Sit back and enjoy.

Stick with your i70's.
