Just looking for some feedback on which speakers to add and complete my 7.2 system:

Currently have:

1 x CS10
2 x Monitor 70 series II - sides
2 x Monitor 60 series II - rears
2 x PSW125 subs

Looking to upgrade my CS10 but finding a decent CS2 series II/CS20 is impossible. I'm concerned about timbre matting so I think I'll upgrade all three fronts and move the 70s to the side. I'm thinking about 2 x RTIA7 and a CSI A6 as fronts. Are the A7s a serious upgrade to the 70s?

    Depends. What is this system mainly used for? And what is the other equipment? How big is the room? Do you run the towers full range or crossed over to the subs?

    100% movies - waiting for the Optoma P1 4k projector to arrive. Receiver is a Yamaha HTR-6180 which is 125w/channel. Speakers are full range. The room is approx 16x12. Subs are running independently off the receiver.
