That's awesome, Merry Christmas to you indeed. I'm looking forward to hearing your report on how everything sounds when you get it setup.
Speakers don't "draw power".The CSi5 is 8ohm and 90db efficient. Every receiver ever made is more than enough.The RTi6 is 89db efficient. Again, every receiver is more than enough.Mike Frezon said:Thanks, Tony. ============I've been reading a ton of reviews for the RTi6s and CSi5 (as you might imagine). I'm reading a lot that the6s and the CSi5, especially, draw a lot of power.The Denon X2000 will be up to the task, correct?
Even though you said how much you liked the ebony and didn't like the cherry...I got the cherry! They look real nice in the pictures...gene c said:Congrats on the new setup. Which ones did you get? Cherry? Ebony?. From what I remember the RTi6's weren't that hard on my receiver when I had them. They're fairly effecient and filled the room quite easily.
The CSi5 is a very large center speaker but that's the way I like them. I hope we steered you in the right direction!
Here's what I'm talking about with the CSi5 JUST being able to fit in my cabinet, Guy.erew99 said:I can't fit the CSi5 though- so I'm jealous
If it's warm enough, Dave...open your windows this weekend and I'm sure you'll hear me putting everything through their paces!David Willow said:Nice. It's going to a fun weekend in the Frezon household.
I must've described to my wife three or four times how deep these speakers were going to be and the fact that they were going to stick out quite a bit (well, 14") from the wall.ArmSC said:Those Rti 6's look good up on the wall. I'm looking forward to hearing how it comes out after the Audyssey tune up.
gene c said:BTW, whats that picture on the wall next to one of the speakers. Love it's simplicity.
Overkill?Mike Frezon said:I have immediately replaced the old R15s with the RTi4s. I guess I need to run Audyssey again.
I have been trying out the "Direct" mode on the Denon by-passing the Audyssey results on some of my music listening. It is an interesting (and sometimes dramatic) difference.
I'll need a while before being able to assess any improvement in my surrounds with the new speakers. Even though the RTi4s might be overkill for surrounds (?), they sure do look nice now complementing the visual aesthetics in the room combined with the RTi6s and CSi5. THAT I can say without any hesitation.
