    You are getting good stuff. For a center get a Csi5 or its replacement the CsiA6 (either will match the Rti10's). Your rears are OK, but you could try speakers out of the Fxi series. You may want to look into getting a sub and an amp to power the Rti10's. External amplification will make those babies sing.

    for the center I highly suggest the CSi5..its a great center, but it is on the large side so thats something to consider. Your setup is very similar to mine. But I use the RTi s for SL/SR duty and another companies for SRl/SRR. If you plan on wall mounting the the surround speakers and want more of a "flush" look, check into the FXi series as they are more of a dedicated surroung speaker

    They are both the same. The Csi5 is the older model and can be found cheaper than the CsiA6. They both have the same drivers and the same specs.

    i believe the cabinets slightly differ also with the CSiA6 being less "boxy"

    Agree with the above statements, they are the same except for the cabinet. That being said if you can get a CSi-5 at a good price that is what I would get.

    I have pretty much the same setup and agree that an amp will help the RTi10s a lot, especially in the bass department. The rears are fine unless you are wall mounting then as suggested I would look at the FXi series.

    As the others said, go with either the 5's or A6 if you have the room. The cabinets and grills are a slightly different from one another though. I would shop around and see which one you could get cheaper.

    Nice setup BTW!!

    Just got the CSi5 myself. One thought with either the the 5 or A6, be sure you know the dimensions and consider where you will be placing it.

    I needed to get a new TV/media stand and most with dedicated center compartments have them that are too small horizontally, vertically or both. I did find a few, and I mean only a few, higher end wood cabinets that would work and some open glass shelf types (I ended up with this type that had adjustable shelf heights). If you mount your TV on the wall, then you can put your speaker on top of the stand if needed, but really, it is a big speaker! You may not want it out like that long term.
