I have the RTi10 and a Csi40. Are they voice matched or should I consider getting the Csi5?

Similarly, has anyone switched front the 40 to the 5? Any differences between the two?

    The question is, how does it sound to you? Are you satisfied with the sound, or do you feel it's missing something? It's hard if you dont' have a 5 to compare w/, but still, why go more expensive if you're happy with the sound? Still, if you can find a 5 at Circuit City on clearance, it might be worth picking one up. Word of advice: if your 40 is on the TV, the CSi 5 probably won't be able to, unless you have a projection big screen. It's very heavy, and very deep for a center. I think almost 18" deep, if not more. That may be a deciding factor as well.
