Just ordered RTi8's

[shimey013]

In Process of piecing together a system, so now I have my reciever ONK TXSR705 and now the RTi8's, im replacing a 5 yr old Yam HTIB, was just good for the time. Anyway, question on Center, surrounds and sub for a solid 5.1 system. Any advice on what would be good for the ONK 705 and RTi8's??

I have a onkyo 805 and velodyne dls4000 and it sounds great

I would recommend a pair of f/xi5 for the surrounds, CSi5 for the center, and a PSW 404 or 505 for the sub. They will all match and sound wonderful!

run the audyssey! i didn't and couldn't get my onkyo to sound good with my rti8's. swallowed my pride, ran the audyssey and am a happy camper now. yeah, get the csi5 center. you can try the fxi5's for surround. or you'll be fine with rti 6's. but if you have room, another set of rti 8's works wonders. it all depends on your room setup.

I thought about the RTi8 as surrounds but sadly dont have the room...i will be looking into the suggestions....as of now looks like my speakers come monday...cant wait.

I was looking around, besides ebay who still sells the Csi5??? I can find the Csi3 and the A4 (crutchfield) but the CSi5 i cant find anywhere...if someone knows an online site that sell them, please let me know.

So if i cant find the CSi5, what would match the RTi8 best???

Crutchfield has the CSi3 for $150 -- not a bad deal even though the consensus around here is that the CSi5 is much better.

I was told CsiA6 by someone from Polk and a few people on here. Unfortunately, i'm waiting on speaker wires, so i can't tell you how it sounds yet.
