I have a bigger house being built and the home theater room will be much bigger than my current space.Now i have 2 rti28's 2rt25i's a csi30 center and a pold sub.My question is my new room will be 13'9" x 26'.I was considering the rti8's or 10's. My budget puts the lsi floorstanding speakers out.but what about the lsi7's or 9's.Are these better than having the floorstanding rtis and if so are the lsi bookshelfs powerful enough to fill this size of room?please advise

    I have a 13x24 room..

    I have the 7`s, 9`s, and Lsic..
    I also have the RT55i`s, 38i`s, and Cs40i..

    along with the SVS Pc -Ultra..

    I`m trying to decide which sounds better..
    They sound "different" from each other..

    I personally think that the RTxxi`s do better at HT, and the Lsi`s do better music..

    But I`m still doing my little experiment , so I can just give my initial impresssions..

    I do 50/50 also..

    but right now it`s LSi`s for music, and RTxxi`s for HT..

    But like I said before , I`m still experimenting..

    not so sure the Cs40i is the center for me yet..

    The center and rears (38`s) have a different tweet than the 55`s..
