80F/X-RT or 80F/X-LS, opinions?
I need your opinions on these 2 In-Ceiling speakers. Polk's ebay store has a good deal on both. I would love to use them for my 7.1 if possible. Because of space I dont have a choice with my RS speakers, they have to be in-ceiling. I'm guessing timber pitch isnt really an issue either seeing as they aren't cabinet speakers?
The 80F/X-RT are part of the RTi line and are $264.99 a pair
The 80F/X-RS are part of the LSi line and are $359.99 a pair
What are the pros and cons to either or? I know generally the RTi line is more HT then the LSi, but does that hold true for these? They will be amp powered of course. I'm wondering if the $100 difference is worth it for in-ceilings? Anyone have any personal experience? Looking to purchase a couple of these ASAP. Right now I'm using some old infinity cs60r's and I think one of them is blown or finally crapping out. I "think" will be a noticeable improvement. Thanks in advance guys

Honestly I'd still try to match whatever your other speakers are. If you have RTi stuff I'd go with the RT, if you have LSi stuff I'd go with the LS models."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."
