Sent them a offer, I'll let you know what happens. That's a neat little way to buy speakers. Everyone should do it that way.
Thanks for the heads up. -

They didn't accept it. -
Well, dangit. You could bump up a few $$ and try again. I sent offers from two different email addresses, which worked out well for me. I think I PM'd you the final price I paid.
BTW, did they counter your offer with something a little higher? Some savings is better than no savings, I would think. But if you're like me, saving more makes me feel even better about a purchase! I think the only new gear I've paid full MSRP was for our two Oppo's.

Bump still looking... Might even consider cherry rti a9's.

Call that same company I PM'd you about, maybe you could still work a "NYP" deal. FWIW, they accepted my other offer for a CSi A6 in black for $299 - a week after their promotion ended! I'll be calling them tomorrow to see if they would honor that price on a cherry version.
FYI, my A7s arrived in perfect condition last week, though haven't had much time to really dial them in. I did watch "Star Trek" Blu-ray last night at about -10dB on the Onkyo 805 and they sounded great!
Ignore the super sliders under the feet, I was just trying to get them angled in just right. In lieu of installing the factory carpet spikes, I have a set of these outriggers on order - they should make the leveling process easier and provide a bit better stability.
I hope you find your cherry RTi Ax's soon!Main HT:JVC DLA-RS45135" Elite Screens fixed frame, 1.1 gainMarantz SR7007 (operating as pre-pro)Emotiva XPA-1 x3 (L+C+R), UPA-7 (surrounds)Oppo BDP-103D/BDP-83Toshiba HD-XA2Panamax M5410 Pro x3Polk LSiM707s, LSiC706, 80 F/X-LS, 65-RTSeaton Sound/MCCA MFW "Turbo" + custom Dayton SA1000 sub amp (orig.

Like new usually. Plus they have the manufacturer's warranty. You can't lose by going through Polk Refurb. -

Perfect!...i bought my DSW and RTA1's from them and there wasn't a scratch on them. They sound awesome as well.
You can't beat their price for BASICALLY new equipment with full manufacturers warranty. Shipping was kinda slow from cali to mass ....booo fedex!!Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -

They don't come with the 5-year warranty that new ones come with.
FWIW, earlier this year I won a refurb microPro 3000 from Polk's ebay auction, but it was defective so I had to return it. It looked to be in perfect cosmetic condition, though. I thought about trying to win a 4000, but ended up buying a sub from a different manufacturer.Looking good!!!!!Main HT:JVC DLA-RS45135" Elite Screens fixed frame, 1.1 gainMarantz SR7007 (operating as pre-pro)Emotiva XPA-1 x3 (L+C+R), UPA-7 (surrounds)Oppo BDP-103D/BDP-83Toshiba HD-XA2Panamax M5410 Pro x3Polk LSiM707s, LSiC706, 80 F/X-LS, 65-RTSeaton Sound/MCCA MFW "Turbo" + custom Dayton SA1000 sub amp (orig.

If you like the RTi A7s now, wait untill you have about 100 hours on them! What are powering them with?

Hopefully this weekend I can run Audyssey and use my SPL meter to better dial in the A7s. Then I'll have to recalibrate the SMS-1 to make sure the sub and A7s are also playing well together.
Of course, when the speaker outriggers arrive in the next week or two, I'll do this all over again! Being this anal is a sickness that is unfortunately not covered by my insurance plan...

If you get some time I encourage you to peruse my other 'A7 threads w/my plans to bi/tri-amp the different parts of my system. Have to build my new rack first.

You're doing all the mods/tweaks, correct? Did you get inside the cabinet to access the crossover? If so, how did you do this, just remove a driver or port?
The reason I ask is that when I was removing the brass jumpers for biamping, one of the small covers to the banana plug holes fell off, hit the cone of the rear power port bracket, slid into the port itself, and fell inside the cabinet. I'm not sure if I can just remove the lower front port and reach inside to retrieve it...Main HT:JVC DLA-RS45135" Elite Screens fixed frame, 1.1 gainMarantz SR7007 (operating as pre-pro)Emotiva XPA-1 x3 (L+C+R), UPA-7 (surrounds)Oppo BDP-103D/BDP-83Toshiba HD-XA2Panamax M5410 Pro x3Polk LSiM707s, LSiC706, 80 F/X-LS, 65-RTSeaton Sound/MCCA MFW "Turbo" + custom Dayton SA1000 sub amp (orig.

You're doing all the mods/tweaks, correct?
My early**** listening/tests confirmed what my ears**** ***** suspected: a distinct peak @ 3550-4000hz and a tweeter that could stand to be turned down. Adjusting**** ****** my EXO tweeter level down 9dB seemed to "smooth" them out. "So why didn't you leave 'em?" you're wondering! Because I had equipment & wire all over my family room and 3 of my kids can't leave ANYTHING alone! Hence the need for the new rack. I doubt I'll persue passive mid-tweeter filtering experiments ($100+) as I have the amps & EXO. Still others can use what I learn to mod their speaker's closures & filters.
* haven't started it yet.
** add a divider between the mid & subs, & bypass passive filtering on 1 channel. tweeters - 18; mids - 12; subs - 8.
*** mid & tweeter only. subs disconnected
**** not fully broken in at the time; 20-30 hours
***** while listening [two channel] to familiar, super smooth sounding CDs.Did you get inside the cabinet to access the crossover?I'm not sure if I can just remove the lower front port and reach inside to retrieve it [the plastic cap]...
