Best match with my Rti8's & CSi5

Hello group,
I have a pair of RTi8's and a CSi5 up front. Plan on a pair of FXi3's and a DSW Pro 500 for sub. Would these the best match in anyone's experience to go with my RTi8 fronts and CSi5 center. I don't have any sidewall space in my theatre room, and only some upper wall space on the back wall. From what I've been reading and studying, the FXi3's are timbre matched for the RTi series. Also seems like I would be better served with the Pro 500 over the Pro 400 as the 8" might be a little inadequate. I'm not a huge bass man so I just want some quality bass with my system. I certainly am thinking that I wouldn't have to step up to the Pro 600. (Will the DSW Pro series match with the RTi speakers? Or don't you have to worry about matching with the sub?) My family room is pretty much open with hardwood floors and standard size family room, 14' x 20'. I have a NAD T747 on order and my front are just waiting for some power. Needless to say I'm excited and can't wait to hear sound other than my TV speakers. Appreciate any of your knowledge and experience. Thanks.

You don't need to worry about timbre matching a sub. I'm partial to HSU subwoofers, but you might want to look into SVS, Elemental Designs, and Epik as well.My System Showcase!
