Greetings All,

Just curious about whether any of you out there have directly compared each of these surround speakers? I already have the FXi30's and they sound fantastic with my RTi70's and CSi40. However, I was wondering if the sound capabilities of the FXi50's are really worth the price difference?

Thanks in advance.

    YES, I have the RTi70's fronts, with the CSi40 center; with the FXi50 for the rears and I use the FXi30 for the rear sides. Their is a difference between the two speakers.

    As for me their is a difference in the surround sound in the two speakers.

    Have you tried the Fxi30 as the rears vs the 50's? if so what made you use the 30's for the front surround.

    Reason for the question is that I have the 500 and the 300 and currently using the 500 as fronts sides. I am considiring on upgrading while I have a chance from the Fx300 to the Fxi50 so that all 4 rear speakers would be the same size.

    Wouln't we want the bigger drivers on the front sides vs the rear???
