    Well, like someone said, with a sub coming in I would just stick with the RTi8's. Yes, I know what you asked but I wanted to clear that out of the way.

    Now, mixing LSi's and RTi's, it depends on what you will do with the system. If you listen to music a lot, I would do it and maybe later on get a timbre matched centre. If it is mainly for HT, I'd stick with what you have. I would suggest you get the sub first and then decide if you need to invest more money for the 12's. With sub in the system, unless you plan to listen to music w/o a sub, you don't have much to gain with 12's over 8's. I noticed this first hand with RTi150's over 70's, not much difference between them with a decent sub in the system.

    If you have your mind set, either RTi12's or LSi15's, oh well. :)

    I guess his motto on his HT will read.....size matters, even if it doesn't look good or sound good.

    Re read this last sentence Yashu. This time, look in the mirror and say it.
    Don't mix. Adjust attitude. End of post.

    I looked in the mirror and saw honesty. What do you see?
