Impressions of RT35i?

I'm considering a pair of RT35i. I currently have 4 matching RT25i and a CS245i for 5.1, but I'd really like to get 6.1 by either getting another RT25i or upgrading my fronts with either the RT35i (or possibly a set of RT55i).

Is the 35i an improvement over the 25i or not? Would the bigger drivers of the 35i (or 55i) overpower my center and throw off the balance of my matching drivers?

    The RT35i is a big improvement over the 25i, IMO...

    Infact, I use to own that exact same setup - ALL of them were awesome, the CS245i will be fine...

    I have the rt2000i`s and the rt55i`s on A/B fpr the front and a 245 for the center with my rt35i`s to the side rear...

    I had the rt15i`s for the rear, and when I put the 35`s in thier place...WOW...big difference..

    The 35`s are great speaks, and on my system do really well for HT and music.
    I highly recomend them..!!

    I just got my fxi30`s today ,and will be using them for the rear surround duties now, but would like to keep the 35`s in play where they are, if I can figure out how to do it..

    I have the 35's on my front and 25's on the rear. running a/b stereo- no surround mix. Great combo. I mean...the 55i's are a big step up...but the 35/25 mix with a sub has been really nice in the bed room
