FXi A4 as fronts?

[eric0213]

I've been pacing myself in my setup. So far I have an Onkyo sr606 and CSi A4. I've hooked up four other cheap speakers from a cheap HTIB for the fronts and surrounds until I can afford better speakers.

I recently got some FXi A4s which I will ultimately use as my surrounds. The question I have is, any problems with using those as my fronts until I get proper speakers? They're better speakers than what I have now, and since more sound will come out of the front, doesn't it make sense to use the A4s up front for awhile.

I hope to get RTi A5s or maybe A7s eventually.

Thanks for your input

They're designed for surrounds not fronts. You can try it out to see but I don't think they can handle front duty and with two tweeters they might sound kind of funky.

If you don't have anything else for the time being...do what you got to do. I'm betting he knows they are meant for surround applications.
