Ok I need some help here. I have a space issue. I have ordered a set of RTi10s, FXi5s(4), and a CSi5 but my new entertainment center has a slot for the center channel that is only 7" high which i believe the CSi5 wont fit. I am going to try it when it gets here hoping for some space but if not I need to know can I, or is anyone, using the LSiC with their RT setup? My amp can handle the different impedance but I am concerned about the matching. Any thoughts? I really dont want to step down to the CSi3.
Thanks

    Stick with the CSi5. Put the speaker either on top of the unit or below the TV and then use some rubber door stops to angle the speaker toward your listening position.

    If the csi5 doesn't fit, get the csi3.

    You don't want to mix and match the front soundstage with rti/lsi lines.

    I have a CSi3 (black) that I may be looking to unload. If you go that route and don't mind a like new (boxes, warranty card, perfect condition, etc.), maybe we can work something out.

    I just upgraded from a CSi3 to a CSi5, and while I can tell a difference, you'll be very happy with the CSi3. The CSi5 though does come with a bar that'll help you angle it.

    Well I think the wife is going to allow the CSi5 to be ontop of the unit through now I think I have to mount the flat panel in response. Thanks for all the adivce on this of course the sales guy said I could step up to the, more expensive LSi, with no wounds loss. :)

    Of course! Everytime I go to tweeter they are more than happy to bump up my RTi setup to the LSi system.
