Hey folks. I got the ht pretty much set up, except for the speakers. Currently I have just the rti8's surrounding my tv with the csi5 on top. I am in heaven!

I have a pair of rti6's but I'm thinking they are a tad big and am wondering if I should do the fxi5's and call it good or get 4 rti4's to do as the surrounds. See the picture of my funky layout.

The rti6's will be used in the guest bedroom if I go that route.

Thanks in advance for your help!

ps for some reason the pic isn't showing up, so it's a 13x13 room with a kitchen behind it for another 11 or so feet. Facing the front speakers there is a dining room to the left rear adjacent to the kitchen.
Fronts RTI 8 Cherry (Bi-wired/ampd)
Center CSI 5 Cherry
Surrounds RTI 6's Cherry
(Currently fiddling with Mirage Nanosats for l/r surrounds)
MONSTER HTS 5000 MKII Power Conditioner
Marantz SR7500 Reciever

    Work with what you already have.

    Do you have a sub?
    HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub
