My wife and I have decided to take a more conservative approach with our home theater. I can spend up to around 1500.00. What do you think of this combination?
A/V - NAD T753 70wpc Continues
Mains - RTI 6 on Studio Tech metal led shot filled stands.
Center - CSI 5
Rear - M30 or RTI 4
I would like to keep the cost down as much as possible.

As said before, I listen to 50/50 music TV, but I will have a completely separate 2 channel system for music. So this system is mainly for Home Theater. I have two 10" 250w Def Tech subs that will go with this system.

Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

    Thats not a bad start at all, you will enjoy that setup. Since you did list them as an option I see no reason not to go with RTi4's in the rear.

    Despite the fact that for HT some consider the rears not quite as important as a consistent main stage, I'm a firm believer that whenever possible stick with the same line all the around.

    Would you know if there are big audible differences between the CSI3 and 5 centers?

    The CSi3 is also a solid performer. If cost is an issue, I would base my choice on room size. For larger rooms the CSi5 should be the choice.

    I have a CSi3 in a room thats approximately 12x12, and it's more than adequate, however, my main theater is a tad bit larger, and needs the more pronounced presentation of the CSi5.

    In my case I think I will need the bigger of the two. Thanks for your help.
