Anyone ever use above speakers for fronts in an HT application?

    Sold my RTi12s and am going to put my RTA8Ts back in for 2 ch music. They will be powered by a Kenwood Basic M2. Probably going to buy a CSi3 and sell my CS400i. The fxi3s would match great with the center and am not too worried about surround speakers as of now. Have a pair of Infinity US-1s that sound quite nice.

    Just kickin stuff around.

    I dont know how well that would work. You kind of want your front 3 main speakers to be directional. I would be worred about the FXI's blending in and mixing to well with the center channel.

    Using a Bi Pole / Di Pole speaker for the rear surrounds in a 7.1 is kind of persional preferance. Some say they work ok there other say you want a directional speaker there. I couldnt imgaine running them for the front Left and Rights.
