Anyone have either of these setup in a 5.1 or 7.1 setup? Wondering if any appreciable differences (besides price) between RT series and MC vs Rc80 setups?
I've never used the RT, For my in-ceiling speakers I've used
RC80i not a bad speaker at least better than nothing
MC80 good for surround use
TC80i Good for full range or surround use try's to act like a book shelf speaker. These made going all in-ceiling almost work kind a sorta
80/FX RT good speaker for surround use. Best I've use for in-ceiling surround and great for ATMOS/DTS-X
When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

90-rt is very nice. Have a pair of them in one of my rooms. Music is nice and full-bodied as ceiling speakers go. Definitely a nice step up over the MC80.
(RC80 is older model and never had a chance to play with them).
What is your planned use for them? Atmos? main front? surrounds? If its for your main front channels, i'd say they are definitely worth going with over the lower models. For surround use, can get by with the MC.
