I have the RTI8's as my mains, the RTI4's as surrounds, and the CSI5 as my center, and I love them all. The 8's are more detailed, more mid bass and more overall presence than the 4's, but have the same tone, so if you like the 4's you'll love the 8's. I'm not saying you wouldn't like the 4's as mains with your sub, but the 8's with your sub will really bring you in to music and movies a lot more.
I had Acoustic Research speakers before these that were from the early 80's, and I loved them and wouldn't have parted with them if my dog hadn't destroyed them. To me, the 8's are just as good so I'm really happy and will only be "upgrading" if I decide to change out the system I have in my secondary theater. If and when I do that, I may move the 8's over there and then pick up a the RTIa9's for the main theater...then again, I may just pick up some more 8's, I like them that much.
