RTi4 Wasted as surrounds?

I have an interesting collection of speakers and would like input on the best set-up.

I use Entra Threes as front's, CSi30 (to be replaced with Primus C25 for better match), and RTi4's as surrounds.

I am planning on moving the CSi30 to bedroom with R150's (on order) and JBL 500.

Would R150s be adequate surrounds for my main Entra set-up? Am I wasting the RTi4 as surrounds? I could use them for music or fronts in the bedroom.

Please suggest configurations for this hodgepodge.

JBL PB10 Sub

    FWIW, I am currently using rti4's as rears to my rti8's and I don't find them to be a waste. Before I bought my 8s I was using the 4s as mains and they do a very good job. Heck they may even beat some not so great towers. Why not try it out and see that you think.

    I am A/B the RTi4 and Entra Threes as we speak. I've had these speakers for over three years. Have no idea why I didn't do this before.

    The RTi4 were just always surrounds. They were smaller, so I figured thats where they belong.

    Good forum!
