    Hi
    I'm using 20 year old PEERLESS 75W as Front and my AV is ONKYO TX-SR506
    I have the CSI3 Center and thought it will be better adding Surrounds from the same family (just to have them look alike)

    The Peerless fronts are very nice and in a great condition (deep bass and smooth highs).
    I thought about replacing them with RTi8 or RTiA7 but they are Giant and I don't have the floor space. Also I cannot complain about my Peerless. I'll replace them only if I found other speakers get better sound out of my 506 and in a sane investment.

    I saw the RTI4 and RTIA1 in a local shop and was so impressed of their performance and craftsmanship and they are always on my mind.

    The RTi4 was black (last one from display) and the RTiA1 was Cherry. There was a 30% cost deference. Think I'll go for the RTI4 Cherry + floor stands because I read that using only a screw on the wall isn't enough. what do you think ?
