    Ha! I have my Rti12s back after letting a friend of a friend demo them for about a week. (His wife said too big...lol). I like the Rti12s. Need A LOT of power though. The 8s, not so much, but probably sound good too.

    I just went from Rti8's to 12's this morning. The 8's are great, midrange and highs are awesome, a little light on the bass but if paired with a sub they're great. Not too much different from the Rtia5's besides looks and being a tad brighter, but for surrounds they should be awesome. They're also very easy to drive which is nice if you don't run an amp.

    Not to Buy, they only had them left in Cherry. I 'am content with my Rtia'3s as surrounds.
