T-15
Hi guys, I'm new on here. I've gotten some answers on here by searching but would like a little more insight.
I bought some T15's for a good deal last week, I was planning on using them with my newly acquired CS10 center for Front LR (Space/wife Issues this is about as big as I can get) and for surrounds.
I was pretty excited at first because I knew these had to sound better than my 6 year old JBL HTIB. But here is my predicament, I went to BB and sound tested the T15's next to the Tsi100's and the latter sounded so much better in my opinion, but I don't know if they sound $150 better.
So my question, is do monitor 30s sound as good as the tsi100s (to save a few bucks) or would I be better off spending the extra 150 and getting the tsi100 to match the cs10 and just use the purchased t15's for surrounds? I'm still using my jbl sub from before as well, powered by my Onkyo TXSR705
Thanks for any insight!

If you are second guessing your purchase, you will always regret not getting the speakers that sounded better to you. 150 bucks is nothing over the next 10 years.
The Tsi's are much better than the t-15's IMO. Monitor 30's are similar, but I prefer the Tsi's."They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Yeah I guess when you think about it, spread out over time it truly is nothing. The wife just doesn't understand. Haha maybe I'll just go buy them and she won't even notice the difference, they are just black ugly boxes that make noise to her. Thanks for the input.
Also, any input on my cs10, I got what I think is a good deal on it, how does it fair? I haven't gotten a chance to set anything up yet and test it out, it was too big to set it below the tv like my old one is now, going to have to figure something out, I have a tv wall mount maybe that would be best -
Ok so I got the Tsi100's they do sound nice, I made a custom center channel stand that mounted on the back of my tv, using closet organizer shelving. It all came out nicely!
