Got a 5.1 system from a guy off Craigs List today.

RTi 12s Mains
CS400i Center
Fxi 3 Surrounds
PSW 350 Sub

All work great and are in VGC. $600.00

Problem now is that I need a beefier AVR. Oh well, good problem to have I guess.

I have never had bi-ampable speakers. Which set of inputs should I put my wires, upper or lower?

    Doesn't matter which set of terminals.

    Get some good power on them and enjoy!

    Yes, thanks the jumpers are in there. The RTi12s sound great with even with my little 75wpc Denon AVR

    Great deal, congrats!

    Throw out those little metal jumpers (well save em but don't use them) and just use some good quality speaker wire (plus good bananas if you have em) to make your own jumpers. You will notice a difference, especially once you get some better power.

    You did more than OK! RTi12 are nice speakers. You can run the whole combo with a good receiver but adding an amp would be even better.
    Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:
