Anyone have experience with both of these speakers?

Which one would you go with if both were in excellent shape and the price was right?

Thanks.

    Depends on what you already have and on what you plan on using them for. I had a pair of RTi10's and they were fantastic speakers, but if I had the choice, I would get the SDA's, hands down. What do you plan on powering them with?

    I plan to power them with a 200w NAD amplifier.

    That should be plenty of power. Will they be for music or home theater? If music, then hands down, go for the SDA's. If HT, the RTi10's may have a slight edge, but lots of people here use SDA's for HT with great results. Try the SDA's first, IMO, you won't be dissapointed.

    Keep in mind that the SDAs like to have 15 feet or more of wall space to fully develop the SDA effect.

    Ah, but when you do...

    I'm running my 1B's non-ideally about 4 feet between and 4 feet from each side wall. Not as pronounced as my old setup but the SDA effect is still very apparent and it rocks the movies as well!
