Good Match for CS245i

mysteryman

I currently looking to replace my R10 Bookshelf speaker with 2 floor-standing speaker. I was looking for something on a budget. I found a retailer that would sell R300 (preferably) or Monitor 60 in my price range. I wonder how they would voice-match with my current Center CS245i ? I'm currently using R10 and happy how they voice-match.

Here is my current Surround Setup

Front : 2x R10 (to replace)
Center : CS245i
Surround : 4x RM7
Subwoofer : PWS111

The CS245i utilizes a tri-laminate dome tweeter which is used in;

RTxxxx/i series speakers, older LS models and F/X 1000/500/i models.

Any of those speakers would be your best bet for voice-matching, so check out your local craigslist to see if they come up.

Don't get too caught up in matching surrounds, your front stage is the most important imo.

Btw, welcome to CP!

Depending on your budget, you can pick up a used set of RTi70's for around $250.

In this case I would have to look around for used speaker ? I would prefer to buy new speaker since locally it will be someone hard to find.

Any recommendation on new Speaker ? But from what I can see no new speaker use tri-laminate tweeter correct ?

That's correct, they don't use the trilaminate dome tweeters anymore. The speakers I mentioned above are all older (yet very capable) speakers.
