How do these bookshelf speakers compare in terms of sound quality and sound quality for the price? Are the more expensive tsi 200 worth the upgrade over the other 3?

    If you can fit the RTis into your budget, definitely go with them. RTi A3 is (not surprisingly) my favorite from the four listed and well worth the extra dinero.

    Get the rti a3's over the tsi200's. You'll kick yourself if you don't. And end up with the rti's eventually. Thats another opinion for ya.

    I would also pick the RTi line over the TSi's. I would then pick the RTiA3 over the RTiA1's if the budget allowed.

    I dont think the Tsi 200's are the more expensive of the 3 mentioned. The Rti'a3 are the more expensive of the ones you mentioned, and with good reason the A3,s are the better one of the ones you are considering
