Recently picked up a set of RTI speakers for my HT system and like them, BUT I went to Great indoors and heard the new LSI 7 and they sounded great. Here is the question.
How well with the LSI15 match with the CSI400 , RT55i, and the FX500I in a 7.1 system with the LSI15 as the mains?

    Same lousy setup in Mich Joe, but the sales people will let me move things around a little when I want to listen.
    I was so impressed by the lsi-7s I would love to have them or one of the other lsi series in my HT setup when I listen to 2 channel music, but do not have the cash to do the whole system. My Great Indoors only have the lsi-7 in I'm still waiting to hear the LSI9 and LSI15. Does your have them in yet?

    I have the 7's and love them. It took a while for them to break in, but after about three months of daily use I can really notice the difference in sound. Things are just so much clearer.

    In the next few months I am looking to get the LSi9's for mains and put the 7's in as my rears.

    Even if I end up not getting the 9's I know that I am totally happy with my setup.

    How much of problems do you find the mix between the RT25I and your new LSI's? Do you do mostly music or movies? I went to the Great Indoors yesterday and they said that they will have the new LSI15 out this weekend. Maybe I will get a chance to listen to them next week.

    I do notice that the rti's are a little "lighter" in sound. But overall I think they match up fairly well. They do not match up Timbre wise exactly, but both models are very solid in construction. So for me personally it works out great. I just could not afford forking out all the money for the LSi setup.
