    FWIW, I use them because they are small, high WAF and can be mounted on an articulating mounts.....they sound good for rears...not much there in terms of movies....5ch music, I do notice a bit of size differential as compared to my lsi15s....obviously!! The center I dont like as much...I think its too small, even with the 2 "woofers"....please note that I am 90% music so the rears hardly get used....

    well it really depends on how picky you are about the sound of your movies. I think it sounds great. Keep in mind that for most movies, there really is not much signal going to the back. That being said, I know HT enthusiasts want matching speakers for the front and back....my thought is that this matching of speakers is not as important for movies than it is for 5ch music, and the rears are the least critical for movies (you should try to match the center to your mains)...

    I'm in the same boat. I have RTi8's in front and CSi3 center, and i need something small for the surrounds due to lack of space. I know the RM 101 and 201's don't match the rest of my system, but the size is perfect. I just hope they won't sound like garbage with the rest of my setup
