Hello,
my first post :)
With my setup, do you thing A6 will do a big upgrade on my system?

100W x 7 channels output power, is it ok ?

I can return the A4 ( before 30 days ) and pay the difference if it worth the money.

I did my upgrade from 2 R-10, 2 R-15 and CSR center ( those speakers did a wow job for the price ), my new setup a wow wow upgrade :).

Thank's

    I'd stick with the FXiA4. It's a very capable speaker and for surround duty you'll be just fine. Got any pics of your setup? It sounds like a pretty cool upgrade from the R series. I love the wow wow, haha.

    Like you said, pretty cool upgrade.
    I'm sure you can't beat the R speaker for the price ( $280.00 for the package, brand new ).
    I will post pics of my new setup.
    I think i have to break my new speakers...how long does it take?

    yea, the A4s should be just fine unless you need more presence. However, I'd upgrade the sub though.

    Even if you need presence, I'd just run your surrounds hot by a few dB...regardless of actual calibration. I have always run my surround loudspeakers hotter by about 3dB.

    I would say that the A4's should be fine unless you have a really large room. Try them out and play with the levels and determine if it sounds good.

    I would say to invest more in the sub as the surrounds normally have pretty light duty overall.

    Welcome, and enjoy the new upgrade.

    Rear - RTiA3's
    Center - CSiA4
    Sub - PSW110
