Time to thin the herd a little... Suggestions wanted.

I finally got my surround sound wired in my new house and I am ready to settle on what I want in my HT. I have been collecting good deals here in the forum over the last few years and currently have more speakers and amps than I know what to do with. I was curious what others thought I should do since you guys are so good at helping me spend my money lol. I have all of these speakers listed here and only need a 5.1 system. I am currently going to keep the OWM3's for surrounds since I just installed them and can upgrade the surrounds at a later time.

RTiA5
RTiA3
CSiA4
CSiA6
PSW 505
LSi9
OWM3

Pioneer VSX-21txh
B&K Reference 30
Adcom GFA-545 II
Rotel RB-956AX


In regards to the speakers I have the full front soundstage for the RTi's and only the LSi9's. If I keep the LSi9's (i really like them) then I will need to also keep the Adcom. I will also need to locate a LSiC and an amp to power it as well. If I sell all the RTi's then I would have plenty to get a nice 3/5 channel amp to power the LSi's. Either way i plan on selling the A3's and the A4 center.


I plan on keeping the Pioneer elite as it has all the HDMI switching and preouts that I need. Not sure if I should sell the B&K and the adcom and put that towards a different power amp, or if I stay with the RTi's then I can sell them and put it towards a new sub.

Any opinions would be welcome as I have been struggling with this decision for a while now. Keep in mind that I plan on keeping the OWM3's as surrounds as they work great in the setup and were just installed. I may replace them in the future but they will be here well into the future.

Thoughts?

If you like the LSI9S then keep those and scrap EVERYTHING else.

Sell all RTIs, CSIs, PSW and the B&K. Take cash and;

Buy the LSIC in the flea market.
Buy a real sub.

Aaaaaand scene!

Out of all of that I'd do the same ^

Keep the LSi9's, Pioneer, and Adcom - sell everything else then find an LSiC.

For home theatre. Keep the A5's & A6 with your owm's. Sell the rest and get a better sub.

I am in the same situation where I have a lot of gear and I hate to cut anything lose as I like everything...but for different reasons. I posted a similar request for help and I had similar advice which was to keep the LSI's. The way I'm going to deal with it is see what fits where and then interview/audition everything in their new homes and see/hear how they all play together. Just because they sounded great on their last assignment is no guarantee how they will do on their net.
