I finally upgraded my csi3 to a csia6. Now my front sound stage is complete, and timber matched. I gotta say this thing is huge. I know everyone says that but wow. It looks so much bigger in person. (insert "Thats what she said jokes now")

I took some photos to show the size difference but also to show the difference in color and grain between the cherry CSI/RTI line vs the RTIA/CSIA lines.

I noticed the color is similar with the RTIA being a bit darker. The RTIA also has a more muted realistic looking wood grain.

    That Cherry is Eye Candy alright. You will really like your RTiA6, especially with that room size.
