RTi8 better than Athena F2?
Options
I found the RTi8 and Csi3 cheap so I couldn't resist buying them. I was wondering how much better the RTI8 is to my current Athena F2? Also, is the CSi3 much better than the CS2 or the Athena C1 center? Or did I basically waste my money?

Just listen to them and decide for yourself.

Well, I ordered them online and it was an impulse buy. If the RTi8 is similar and not better than my Athena F2, then I might cancel the order. I guess I want to hear from people with experience between the 2 speakers. I would rather save myself the hassle of shipping these speakers back. Now if these are better but when I get them and they don't sound good to me, then that's a different story and I don't mind that. I just need to know if these are indeed better than my Athena F2. -

Well, to be bluntly honest - you'll have to decide for yourself.
Asking strangers on the internet for confirmation of an impulse buy is like asking your therapist for confirmation of your character...."what do YOU feel"? :rolleyes:

Haha, that is true, but still there are so many people here that have tons of experience on speakers. I thought maybe they could tell me which one is better. Sort of like if I asked whether a Honda Civic was better than a Nissan Altima. Yes, you would have to drive it to see which one you liked ultimately better, but everyone will say that the Nissan is the better car. -
I've heard the athena's at best buy (i think that was the model) and although they sound good, i like the RTi more. I think the RTi is more performance oriented.KEF Q150 | Rythmik F12 | Yamaha Aventage RX-A780
