Which rear models matches older RT series?

LoboTiger

I've currently got the following setup:

Mains - RT800i
Centre - CS400i
Sub - PSW450
Rears - Cheap satellites

I'd like to obviously upgrade the rear surrounds but I'm not sure which of the newer models matches what I have now. Anyone have any suggestions?

You could keep it in the family and look for RT25i's or RT35i's. Here are a pair of 25i's on ebay. And here are a pair of listed RT35's, although they have the blue driver so I'm thinking they may be 35i's. Ditch the little guys and replace them with a more capable performer. Good luck.

Do you happen to know if either of these were the ones that were matched with what I've got already? I seem to recall that the rears were of the bipole/dipole kinda like the FXi series but I can't seem to recall the series names/numbers.

Thanks for the info though.

I agree with what he said. Or you can get a NIB pair of RT600i's. This is what I did, I wanted the towers to help list the speaker off the ground w/out using a wall mounted stand or paying too much for a stand.

If you are interested in the TR600i let me know and I will check out one of my local stores here. Last time I was there they had 12 pairs they were trying to get rid of.

You state that you're after rears, so I figured you wanted direct firing speakers instead of bi/di poles. If you want the F/X series of speaker, then the F/X300i and F/X500i (I happen to be selling a pair of black F/X500i's in the Flea Market, fwiw) are what you're after. The 500i's have the same 6 1/2" blue driver and tri-lam tweeter as your other speakers, fwiw.

Ahhhh, that's it! That's the model number for the ones I was looking for before. How much are you selling the 500is for? You can PM me the details if you want.

Here is the link to the thread. Might be difficult to ship to Toronto, I think I've read on these forums that there are extra fees or something involved in shipping from the States to Canada.
