I just got the Csi25 and the R15's for $100 to go along with my Rti4's temporarily until I save for the Lsi9's. I know the Csi3/5 is the center speakers for the Rti series. I was wondering if you guys know how well the Csi25 matches with the Rti4 and what adjustments I can make to try to match?
Setup:

PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    If it sounds really good to YOU, why would you want to spend more money, when it looks like you are in the process of getting into the LSI series? In which case you will still need to change out your other speakers to get the rest of the LSI series!

    to my knowledge the 25 has a silk tweet. So do the 4's. You should be fine.

    Like usual, an honest question will always get atleast one inconsiderate answer! CAPITAL LETTERS mean shouting in message boards...

    Thank you Lou. I stressed "you" since while he might be soliciting opinions from the rest of us, HIS opinion is the only one that really counts for his system!

    Another question would it be insane to had the R15's as fronts and the rti4's as surrounds? Only thing I like about Csi25 is the midrange is excellent compared to the rti4's.

    Don't get me wrong I love my rti4's otherwise I wouldn't have kept them switching them for the R15's would be really unlikely. All I said was that I felt the Csi25 had a slightly better midrange.

    oh its cool I just been having fun with these different speakers, I can't believe how important a receiever is the guys at Fry's don't agree on the importance, but I went from HTIB onkyo to the H/k 335 and the sound quality is much much better.

    The CSi20 & CSi25 are the matching center channels for the R series. You can swap out the R's and the RTi's to experiment between the two and see which you prefer.

    My HT is all R15's with the CSi20 at center. I've been thinking about upgrading to the CSi25 though. Have some fun and let us know what you like better :)
    Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro
    HT: Samsung QN90B * Marantz NR1510 * Panasonic DMP-BDT220 * Roku Ultra LT * APC H10
