I am running cs1000p center rt1000 fronts and rt600 rears. all seperate amps. If you look at my sig. I am seriously considering trying to find some rt800s for the front... after i got rid of my Eosone rsf600's i really miss the midrange. I also was thinking of switching the rears to rt55s...if i can find some... suggestions?

    I am a big RT fan. I have two Ht systems I run. One is Lsi and the other RT's. I have two sets of RT800's running next to each other using the A/B configuration and they are more musical than the RT1000's or Rt2000's. They have better mid range. They will not be as strong in the bass but that is what a sub is for. I have in the past stacked a RT55 on top of the Rt800 and that was also a great sound. You have a great center but the other speakers such as the RT1000 and RT600 are weaker in the mids. I would swap out the RT1000 for the RT800 and lose the RT600's for RT55's or Rt F/X500's. It would be a major improvement. Good luck.
