I originally posted this in the Clubhouse which may be the wrong area.
Could someone help me out with a simple question(s). I noticed the price difference between the RTi10's and the RTiA7's. They look virtually the same. Other can cabinet differences (height and width) what are the differences between these two. I currently have RTiA3's for my front channel and a CSi5 center channel.
Thanks for your help.:

    The difference is in the cabinet. Differences are primarily cosmetic ..although some claim slight improvement in sound.

    I own the RTiA7's and when I was shopping I demoed the R10's but found them to be overly bright and somewhat fatiguing because of that. The A7's seemed much more natural and quite honestly if I hadn't purchased SDA's I'd still love them as my main HT and two channel speakers. The rounded cabinets of the A7's are much better looking as well.
