I am upgrading my old setup (boston + Onkyo). I bought Denon1910 (electronic Expo) and ordered CS20 (from Vann's) thinking of buying TSi500 (2way) for front. After reading Rti A7 (3way) thinking of buying these since they will have good bass compared to Tsi500. Pls advice if cs20 pair with RTi A7.? Thanks.

    The CS20 is timbre matched to the TSi you should be looking at a CSiA6 or CSi5 (really any of the CSi line of CC. You could use the CS20, it just would not sound like it is a perfect match with the RTi. Some people can't tell the difference some can. For the price of the CS20, I would stick to TSi500, or return/cancel the order and go RTi/CSi

    Go with a CSiA6 center channel if you get the RTiA7 speakers.

    If HT is your thing, then the A7s are a good choice. However, a lot of people find them a bit bright for music. I had a Cs2 (old version of the cs20) with RTi 10s and it was not the best match. I now have a cs20 with Lsi25s and find them to be a good match.

    If u hav budget to get a CSia5, go for it. Return ur CS20. As NewHTG said, CS20 is not a good match to RTis
