RTi70 speakers

I just bought the RTi70 speakers for my mains. When I hooked them up I noticed my center sounds brighter them my mains. My center is CS245i.
Sould the center sound brighter? I thought the mains would out class my center.

the csi40 would make for a better center.The cs245i should be close,I'm not sure why it's brighter..the tweeter was just tweaked a bit from the 2 series......still it should match close......but if you notice it that much.....get the csi40..it's a perfect match

There is a big difference. So much so I am wondering if there is something wrong with the rti70`s.

I have RTi70's and a CSi40. I noticed that the CSi40 was quite a bit louder than the 70's. I purchased Sound and Visions Home Audio set up disc. That helped get the levels closer but I still noticed the majority of the sound comes from the Center. I've done quite a bit of reading since and found that in most movies the Center channel is used far more than any other speaker. Music would give you a more accurate test of the speakers balance.

I bought new speaker wire and biwired them and now i am getting much better sound out of the 70`s. So I guess I had bad wire. The wire I was using was really old.
