    The Paradigm speaker that is comparable to the Rti8 is the Monitor 7 v.3's. In comparison, the Monitor 7 has much better low end sound but it is NOT as clear and crisp and as detailed in the upper mid-to high registers. Therfore, if I did not have a powered sub then I would have to go with the Paradigm Monitor 7 v.3's. On the other hand, if I had a powered sub(s) then imho the Rti8's are a better fit. This coming from a Paradigm owner-I actually own a set of the Studio 20 v.3's (which are for sale) and have owned the Titans v.3's as well as the matching cc-170 v.3. I also owned a PS1000 v.4 powered sub which is a decent powered sub. I also believe that the Polk Csi5 is a much better center than the cc-370 v.3/4. Anyways, hope this helps. Good luck in your decision.:) :)
    The way one uses a product is a much more SIGNIFICANT factor than which product(s) he uses.
