Have RT5s for front channel and have decided csi25 is a close enough match for the center (especially for the $69 price at fry's and considering i cannot find a cs250)... I need some help on which in ceiling surrounds would match well with the RT5. In ceiling is the only option that will get the needed WAF... fry's currently has the RC60i at $100/pair... will these match reasonably well, or is there a better option?
Thanks,

    I think it is relevant, but not conclusive...

    the descriptions of the various in-ceiling speakers state the TC and SC series speakers are timbre matched for the RTi series speakers, and the RC are matched for the monitor series. Soooooo... if I assume the RT series are reasonably close to the newer RTi, that would lead me to the SC60 or TC610 as comparable alternatives to the RC60i... with the SC60 being slightly more expensive, and the TC610 being significantly more (other more expensive options are considerably beyond my pricepoint).

    Would the SC60 at ~$130/pair be a better option for the RT5 than the RC60i? They seem to be very similar speakers.

    Is there an out of production ceiling speaker I should be looking for that matched the RT5?

    Thanks,
