Help with speaker decision

[vmaxer]

Well....It seems like I am about ready to upgrade my front speakers, I have been using RT55i's and really like them but I am looking to go to towers. I really don't have much opportunity to go listen so I thought I would ask here!! I am looking between the following:

LSi15, Lsi25, RTi12

I am open to others if better. They will serve as HT, multi-channel and 2 channel audio speakers. I'm not crazy about having the powered subwoofers as are in the LSi25's, but maybe thay sound okay...

Please provide any and all opinions and suggestions.

Thanks a lot!!

The easy answer would be the RTi12 as it would be the closest match to your center and surrounds. If you go the LSi route you will want to think about an upgrade of your center as well. Many feel you want to timbre match all your speakers, but I feel front stage timbre matching is enough. You may be happy with a LSi/CS1000 match up so I wouldn't worry too much about it until you replace your mains, and give a listen. Just thought I would bring that up now, as it may make your decision easier.

That being said, since it looks like music is = to HT for you I would say go with one of the LSi.

Consider also the LSi9's considering you have a good sub, and you have an amp:)
