Opinions needed

I recently decided to upgrade my RM95 system with TSi400 fronts and a CS10center, while keeping the RM8 surrounds, and a PSW111 sub. My question is whether or not this is going to be a well balanced set-up, or should I upgade to a CS20 or TSi 100s in the rear as well ?
Just looking for opinions/suggestions on this setup.

    I would suggest TSi 100's for the rear. I do not believe the RM's and TSi's are a timber match for sound.

    You could always give it a try for a while to see how it works.

    I agree with Joe although surrounds arent as important to match due to they are mostly ambient sounds.

    I'm running TSi400's fronts, TSi200's surrounds and just recently got CS20.

    It is a hard call. I think the 100's for Surrounds would give you a better overall system. However at some point you are going to want to upgrade that CS10. It's a nice speaker and what I started out with, but I had to crank the sound on some shows to be able to hear the dialog.

    If you can swing both I would go that route.

    Ok, the finance minister (GF) said I can do one or the other, but not both, right now (and I listen to her because I like a peaceful household...lol) Which should I upgrade, the CS10s or the RM8s ? I'm leaning towards the TSi100s to replace the RM8s as surrounds.

    Grab the 100's and you can upgrade your center if you choose to later. That will give you a better balanced systems and I was happy with the CS10 for over a year before the upgrade bug hit.
