I've recently purchased a pair of TSI 100's and a CS10 center. my existing 5.1 is the RM85 HTIB. I was thinking about making the TSI 100's and CS10 my front 3 speakers and moving the existing RM's to Back surrounds or Front Height. Would this work or is a idiotic idea?
I know the 100's and cs10 are alot more speaker than the RM85's. Any input here? I'll be driving everything with a Pioneer 1020.

Thanks, racfan9

    I wouldn't use them as height speakers but as surrounds you could get away with it. It's not optimal but it will work. You may have to balance the speaker levels a bit between the front and rear though. Never hurts to try, the worse that could happen is don't like it and search for something else.
