Center for RTi8's?
I just got my RTi8's in today off the deal frys had and they sound amazing.... very impressed with them. But it also was very evident I need to upgrade my center channel because it doesnt hold up very well when the volumes get loud.
I currently have a Wharfedale Diamond 8 Center and I was all set to get the csi3 center (since the csi5's are too hard to find and expensive in comparison). What worries me about this setup is the diamond 8 has the same specs (drivers wise... 2 5.25 drivers and a 1 inch tweeter.
Now Im sure polk stuff is more robust but im still a little worried about using a "smallish" center with the more powerful rti8's.

if im not mistaken..the csi3 has 5.25 midrange with 1' tweet. also will be timbre matched. also it has a little better response and is a little more efficient. so overall i think even the csi3 would be an upgrade.

the CsiA6 is timbre matched as well.... but it has a slightly different look. Sounds just like the Csi5 though. Its Very nice speaker.Front - RtiA5's
