I currently have the t15s as surrounds in my current setup. As a whole, my setup sounds quite nice:-). However, I stumbled on some like new tsi100s selling for less than 90 a pair. I've only had the t15s for about a week..still within the return period if need be. How would a second pair of tsi100s as surrounds sound (have tsi100s as fronts)? With my avr I have the dynamic eq enabled...which on some movie soundtracks the surround channel can be overemphasized a bit. My setup before had my current tsi100s as rears, and it seemed like they overpowered my fronts at the time(Polk r40s). How would the overall sound be with tsi100s as fronts and rears?

    Then take the T15's back and get the TSI 100's then all your speakers will match plus the TSI's are a better speaker than the T15's. that CS10 is a great center, then you will have all the same series go for it.

    Thanks for the input. I'll be taking back the t15s and getting the tsi100s. Is it possible to take back something you bought on a black Friday sale ( got the t15s for 50/pair) ??

    Best Buy will take them back at the price you paid for them, they sell those for that price every year on Black Friday, you will not get list price for them, now that BF is over.

    OK got ya. The t15s are very good speakers for the BF price...but for 30 bucks more the tsi100s I think are a decent upgrade:-).

    I got the tsi100s today...just hooked them up and reran audyssey. All I can say is...seaamless!! I thought my setup sounded good with the t15s...now it sounds even better! Can't wait to fire up a good movie to really hear it :-).

    On a side note..does anyone know about audyssey measurements?? It set my sub at -8.5db...is that measurement too extreme for audyssey correction? I got my sub gain at 2 1/2 ( out of 10). Any thoughts and insight would be helpful..thanks!!
