Hi guys I was using these as surround speakers, but built some DIY speakers so I don't need these anymore.

I'm selling 2 pair of RT800 towers. Cosmetically they are in good shape, I'd say a 7 out of 10. I bought them a few years ago and have enjoyed them since. One terminal on one of the speaker was broken off some during shipping, but it still screws down tight. The bases on these are the weakest part due to shipping. The spikes come with these, as well as speaker grills and manuals (not pictured).

Acoustically these are still in great shape, most of the time I had them as surround speakers so they didn't get beat on when I had them.

I live in FL zip 32043 and won't ship these, so local pickup. I'm asking a very reasonable $100/pair!

Thanks

    It's a ridiculously great deal! Someone local should grab them. Pair these up with a mellow receiver/amp (something along the lines of NAD or HK Citation), and you'll have a great HT system.

    Sorry for the delayed response; the forum software didn't e-mail me and this is the first I've checked it since my last post.

    For each speaker UPS charges $15 for a box and shipping to Sacramento CA $63. The speakers weigh 40lbs a piece and I'm in FL. So for two speakers shipping would be $156 to Sacramento CA.
