Hi all,

I currently have Klipsch ksf 10.5's for fronts, and matching center and surrounds. Have had them for years. Have been looking at the older RTI series and the newer RTiA series. Will be used for 75% tv/bluray 25% music. My room is 14x21. 8 foot ceilings. I know I need to listen to them first, but was hoping to get steered in right direction.

My gear:
Panny st65
Pioneer Bdp-23
Yamaha rx-a1020
Carver av-705x
Klipsch sw112 sub

Thanks

    Do you have a budget in mind?

    And would it be for a total 5.1 replacement to your Klipschs?

    Budget is around $1200 for front 3. Will get surrounds later.

    Will be replacing klipsch. They will go to basement setup. Xbox, DVD, Wii for kids and me.

    Pair of RTI A7, Polk E-bay, for $400 each.
    CSI A6, amazon, #350.

    You Yamaha should be able to drive them fairly well.
