    Well, check your local craigslist or post a wanted ad and hope that someone is close by and selling a pair of Monitor 10's or 7's.

    Some people have found pairs for as cheap as $25 bucks while others pay up to +$100 if they're in great shape. Sometimes you can luck out and get a pair of original stands.

    I wish I had a pair, someday ;)

    Wasn't there some Rti6's in the FM?

    Disregard, they're sold.

    Try to find some used Energy C-3's, much more laid back than the Rti in treble--and a heck of a nice bookshelf speaker for the money.

    Brings new meaning to a "hole in the center soundstage" doesn't it?

    Set them between some SDA's, that will fix it! Well maybe not, I'm kinda of getting this image from the movie The Wall. You know the scene towards the end with the singing buttocks? That's kinda of what I'm seeing here only in this case it sings anything you want, not just Pink Floyd. Man, "Wish You Where Here" is never going to be the same agian. I'm ruined.
