I have an open wall and I really want to utilize the fx500i but placement as side surrounds has either the rt speaker way over to the stairway wall or second method a little too far behind me. Third option is to place in-ceiling speakers such as the rc60i behind the seating area.

How much of a downgrade are the fx500i to the rc60i will be?

How well timbre matched is it to the rti hundred series?
