I am finally putting my HT together and I purchased the Rti a5 towers. I can get either a csi a4 or csi 5 center speaker for the same price. Which one would be best. Thanks!

    CSI5 of course, it's the same as A6, in different box.

    I currently have the A5's and the A4 center. I am looking to upgrade to the A6's myself. If you have the room the larger center is recommended.
    Front - RTiA5's
    Rear - RTiA3's
    Center - CSiA4
    Sub - PSW110

    I know the csi 5 is the bigger center but does it look really awful with the Rti a5's or does it still somehow blend? Sound quality is most important but appearances do matter. I could buy the csi a6 but the difference between the 6 and the 5 is $200 and I'm not sure if its worth it.

    I have the csi 5 and it is a great center channel and would sound good with your RTI a's If you can get a good deall on it I would buy it. You could allways resell here if you needed.
