    Why not? I know of few guys here that use both 60's and 50's as surrounds. Tear it up

    Im wondering if Timber matching would be messed up using the monitors as backs..Becuse, when i got my CSi A6 paired with the Rti10's the sound was so much better ,to when i was running a CS20..

    Timber matching, from what I understand, is most important between the LCR and surrounds are not as important for timber matching.

    Very nice. Yes, I can relate, too much is never enough!!!!

    Congrats on the 60's, I kinda envy you, I'd love 60's for my surrounds, my current set up is, 70's fronts, CS2, 30's for surrounds and ordering 40's tomorrow for "wides". Enjoy your set up. Nascar is gonna blow doors.
