Csi3 for surrounds

Tequila

He he he. Today I was boring and made a changes in my system. The two Rti6 surrounds was replaced for 2 Csi3 and I think was great. The 2 Rti6 are now on surround back channel. I don´t know why the Csi3 in that position sounds better and the Rti6 sounds better than Csi3 for Back Ch. Somebody can explain me?

The CSi3 has two woofers, one tweeter vs the RTi6 - one woofer, one tweeter. The CSi3 will produce more sound. It will sound larger and have deeper bass.

Yes, and the 2 csi3 vs 2 rti6 are 4 woofers and 2 tweeter vs 2 woofers and 2 tweeters..

Now the woofers on Rti6 are 6 1/2 " vs 5 1/4 BUT not is a great point.

Now my surrounds sounds more realistic and really surrounds....hahahaha

This doesn't make any sense to me. The RTi6 sounds better than the CSi3. But if it works for you, that's all that matters.

You have a much larger radiating surface area with the CSi3. Enveloping you with more sound waves. My RTi6's were clean and detailed, some would say a little bright. I think the cabinet volume on the RTi6's was more than proportionately smaller than the CSi3. I would also like o see the crossovers of those two speakers.

I too liked the sound of my RTi6's. It's conceivable to me that the CSi3 could sound better.

The Rti6 are very good for fronts.

They're pretty good, but lack a little bass unless you've got a sub in the house.
