Good morning all
I have to pick between two systems I built over the years as they will become one and one will go up for sale.

Option a:
Monitor 70
Csi5

Option b:
Rt1000
Cs400i

Let me know your thoughts! It's tough to pick between the two as they are very different.
Thanks

    I'd pick A if you are looking for diversity - a 50/50 split between music and movies. Or more accurately I'd pick the best center speaker for movies and pair it with the M70s for music listening.

    Two Channel Setup:

    Speakers: Wharfedale Opus 2-3
    Integrated Amp: Krell S-300i
    DAC: Arcam irDac
    Source: iMac
    Remote Control: iPad Mini

    3.2 Home Theater Setup:

    Fronts: Klipsch RP-160M
    Center: Klipsch RP-160M
    Subwoofer: SVS PB12NSD (X 2)
    AVR: Yamaha Aventage RX-A2030
    Blu Ray: Sony BDP-S790
    TV Source: DirecTV Genie
