Upgrading again: Quick question, should be relatively simple. With a9's in the front, was determining whether to have some fxi's in the back or an rti a5 or a7. It off of a sc-05, have a svs pb-12 ultra sub, csi a6 center. 50/50 ht/music. I don't want to waste money and have some overkill in the back with a7's, but also didn't wanna lose out on the benefit of having stronger speakers in the back if it would drastically improve performance. Room sizes will change relatively frequently. Currently in a 15W/24L/8H

So the first question is fxi or rti in the back.


Second question is which fxi's or rti's...(fxi a4/a6 or rti a5/a7).
Bulls make money.
Bears make money.
Pigs get slaughtered.
...
You, my friend, are the bacon.

    Hi,
    In music: LSI is to hear angels sing.
    The best advice is to maintain balance and do not mix.
    4 Ohms/300W x Ch is good. Bi-Wiring: LSI at best..

    Go for the fxi sides or back and put some a3's for surround's . No need to pay all that extra for towers, use the cash for an extra sub

    your receivers amp will thank you for it with clear sound

    I'd say get some FXI a6's. I have been running my extra pair of RTI a5's for surrounds just to see how they sounded and they sound great but I like having my surrounds above my head.
