I've been thinking about replacing my Owm 3s with a pair of RM8s. Any thoughts? Any reason I should not do this?

Thanks

    Why not TSi100s? I don't think the RM8s are going to be satisfactory for you when compared to the rest of your system. I'm not even sure they'd integrate well. I would imagine that the OWMs would be better than the RM8s in your application. Just my opinion. :)

    Would have to say that i agree with mdaudioguy. I would think that the owm3's would be better than the rm8's. The RM8's are just so small and i dont think they would work well with the 500's that you have.

    Just an opinion...
    Front - RTiA5's
    Rear - RTiA3's
    Center - CSiA4
    Sub - PSW110

    Yeah probably not worth it. Just going to save for a pair of FXi's. Thanks

    What's your room layout? If you have some space behind your seating area, you may be able to get a great surround effect with standard bookshelves. The FXis work well when space is limited. At least that's been my experience. If you post some room layouts or pics, someone here should be able to offer some good suggestions.
