Does anyone have an opinion on this center. I am looking for a used, but in excellent condition, CS400i center. I have RTi70 towers and currently use the CSi30 center. Is this a good match. How does this speaker perform. It will be part of a 7.1 set-up. System as follows:

Receiver - Pioneer VSX-56TXi
DVD Player - Pioneer DV-59AVi
Fronts - RTi70's
Center - Hopefully a CS400i/curently a CSi30
Rear/Rear Surrounds - R15's

System is used for 90% home theater.

I appreciate the help!!

    the CS400i performs quite well.. it's a favorite around here. it's big and heavy.. be prepared for that. bigger than is looks.. and heavier than it seems too. ;)

    I have a CS400i and love it. If I could come accross one at decent price...I'd probably snatch another one. IT is quite big and heavy. It belongs to my favorite series of RT line of speakers.

    I was using the 400i also and like it so much I upgraded to the 1000p.
    I still have the 400 and am thinking about another one to use them as bookshelf speaks in the bedroom.

    I have to hold off till I figure out a new bedroom setup.
    I think that 2 of the cs400i's for left and right stereo would be great for the bedroom plus, they will sit nicely on shelves up out of the way.
    If I did decide to sell I would definately put them here.
