    OK here is my update just bought my speakers today. I went with the RTi10s, CSi5, and 4 FXi5s. I know some of you said to not get the 10s but I was in Tweeter for over an hour bouncing between the 8s and the 10s. The 12s were not hooked up. I have to say the 8s sounded bright but not a horrible bright but bright none the less. So I went with the 10s but of course with tweeter (sound advice) I have a year to trade them in and get another pair. Trust me i plan to try them. I want to thank everyone for their help. I ended up going with the SVS sub and the outlaw 990 and 7125 amp. Thanks for everyones help. The store was saying I should bi-wire and then mentioned bi-amping and I had to laugh given the debate here. Thanks to all I am sure I will have questions. Thanks again.

    Cool, enjoy your setup, sounds like it will kick ****! Headbutt the guy who mentioned bi-amping for me would ya?!?!
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    I'm looking at the RTI 10s and have been reading your posts with interest. Best of luck. Maybe I missed this, but which Tweeter store did you deal with?
