    LSi is better. Get 15's and dont look back. Continue with rest of 7.1

    I have not heard the rti, but I have 4 LSi15s, LSiC, and a PSW1000. I love it. I just bought a Sony 3100ES DVD player, and it is a great sounding CD player. I put the HT receiver into multi-stereo mode and the sound comes out all 4 LSi15s and just sounds great.

    Sound speaker advice, so to speak. :)

    I already ordered the lsi15's but I dont hear alot of people talk about the rti12's on here and they look so wild. The ratings are just as wild

    ive listen to both recently and the lsi15 are def better the clarity on the mids and highs are much clearer. but you need a powerful amp for them to work well. if you use a receiver most likely you will not hear there full potential. i think the rti12's have a little more bass.

    He would also need a powerful amp to get the best out of the 12's as well!

    don't get too hung up on watts,,make sure that you get an amp with plenty of current, I positioned mine straight at me,and with the proper source,the imaging can be amazing--good luck :)

    there 2 different speakers. the rti line is more for home theater, although i love them for music as well. the lsi is more musical. they have really different highs. but as power hungry they both have a big appetite
