    They will work great as direct firing rear surrounds. I use the RTi4 in the rear, with FXi3s as my side surrounds. I would also suggest you opt for the CSi5 or CSiA6 instead of the one in your sig line.

    naw better to big than to small , I heard of a system 15 years ago it used 5 klipsch heresys (1 center,2 mains, 2 surrounds) and a big sub , I heard it was very impressive .

    I used to run RTi6's as surrounds with some RTi8's and a CSi5 up front. Made for an excellent HT setup. The RTi6's are rather largish, but if you have the space to accommodate them, there's no reason not to use them.
