matching center for RTI A5's

bhoup

Hello. I need to purchase a center channel to match my RTI A5's that I recently got. Does anyone know if there is much difference between the CSI3 and the CSI A4?

Also, for the surrounds should I go with less $ and get the OWM's or more $ and get the FXI A4's?

Csi a4 for the center and fxi a4's for the surround would match perfectly. If you're on a budget the other two options will work.

I'd suggest the bigger CSiA6 center channel and then save some money with OWM3 surrounds. There's not a huge tonal shift between the newer CSiA center channels and the older CSi but it exists. I'd stick with the same series for your front stage and less worry on the surrounds.

I use a csi40 for center and find it works great. You may be able to locate a good used one.

Good Luck

I have the CSiA4 for my center. I am limited by the space that i need it to fit into. Most people say to get the A6 as 50-75% of dialogue in movies comes through the center. If you can fit the larger center i would get the A6. If money is tight then the older version of the RTi centers would work too.
