I currently have a CS350-LS center, and I am looking to get new front channel speakers.
What would be the best match?
I plan on using a Denon 3805.

I was looking a the RTi 8 or RTi10.

    Thanks for the reply. I am not really looking for used at this time.

    Can anyone tell me it the RTi series is a good match for the CS350 that I have? If not is there a speaker in the current line that will work?

    The RTi line will be the best match, but different top end since the new RTi line has silk domes while the 350 has the Tri-laminate tweeter. They will be similar, just not a perfect tonal match.

    Another thought, you could always sell the 350 and buy a CSi3 or 5 for about what you get out of the 350 sale. They would match the new 8s or 10s perfectly.
