Has anybody compared a pair of RTi70 to a pair of RT55? Would replacing RT55's with RTi70's be an upgrade? How does the RTi70's match up with the CS400? TIA for any responses.

    A friend of mine has the 55 and I have the Rti70..IMO the 70's
    have a larger soundstage and a bit more "oomph" in the mids.

    That being said, I dont think there would be much of an upgrade to the 70's

    The 70's have a different tweeter than the 55 and the 400

    the best match for the 70's would be the CSi40...which can be found at a nice discount since new models are arriving in October.

    I second that, go with the CSi40, the deals are in place right now. You will find a CSi40, faster than you will a CS400....and it will be new.
