Mixing RTiA and LSiM Speakers

I'm close to putting together my system and am pretty much ready go for RTiA9s up front with the FXiA6 rears. My question is for the center might it be worth jumping up to a LSiM706c since the center channel is so important? I'm not sure if this combination of speakers would even mesh well together. A whole system of LSiM is out of my league but I could swing that one component. Thoughts?

    No... Go with the biggest RTI center... I think it's the 6.

    Put the extra coin towards something else in your system.

    It's the CSiA6...it's a biggie center and I own one too, nice middle speaker.

    Robert, go for the CSiA6 as a suggestion from me, it'll timbre match the RTiA9's perfectly, sure you'll need to shoehorn it into place but it's worth it.

    That's what I meant ;)

  • Thanks for the comments. It's kind of what I figured people would say.
