Here is what i have a 20 x 20 room with the tv placed in the corner 7 ft across to place a 61in tv and towers. Alos the system is used more for ht the music. So taking that into account what towers would be better?

    i have a similar setup. (larger room, but tv in corner and sit 12-14feet away from tv) I have not heard the 12's in my environment, but I think the 15's sound great. Any chance you could listen to both before you decide?

    Where are you located, anyone nearby that you could demo a system in their home?

    cant go wrong wither way, especially if your running more home theater than music. I'll say this, and sound like a broken record, but you have to factor in beefy amplification if you go the LSi route. I dont know what your running, but if your running anything short of a top of the line reciever or seperates, go RTi. The RTi's will go much further and give you more if your running a standard HT reciever

    RTi12's need tons of power as well to be run properly, so either one will need a good amp. I own both and prefer the LSi15 all the way around.
