edited January 2012 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
I'm selling these for 425.00. I'm adding pictures tonight and local pick up 54467. For this price it is worth a drive from the surrounding area as you are not going to find anything better at this price.

That is for the pair.

I don't want to ship due to the cost and they will have to go freight. If you want shipping then you need to make the arragements to have it done.

There is a mark on the front but it is small and doesn't affect them. It was there when I got them and you don't notice unless you are closer to the speakers.

Thanks.

    Same speaker from what I gather. Unless the rounded cabinets in the A-series have any impact on the sound. I would guess not. Same parts.

    Stupid silly price. I'd be surprised if these last through the morning. The cherry's seem to never go on sale either, at least not like the black ones do.

    It's funny because I'm continuously looking for ways to improve my 2-channel but my I'm very content with my 9's for ht. When watching movies I'm always surprised by their depth and clarity. Excellent for Blu-ray music concerts as well.

    I had my buddy come over last night for a demo. Trying to convince him to cash out and make the drive for these. He's too damn stubborn but he has fallen for the A9's hard.

    Ridiculous. I am pretty certain that good deals are always on the west coast. It's pretty simple really, as CA's home size is always bigger than say NY and the demand for home theater is bigger there. I never understand why people would say this without thinking first.

    Besides, I would not really consider Wisconsin "eastern"

    But it's a great deal on these. Would've bit if I was closer..

    so I have two people interested in line right now.

    I have no want to ship these guys seriously its a pain in the butt. I work normally around 70-80 hours a week and have done so for the last 4 weeks straight. I have no desire when I'm home to go out and search for a pallet (they would need to be strapped to one) and then get them to the freight company etc. Also the cost of freight would run 250-350 depending on how its done so your cost savings are not there.

    If you really want them shipped then the person buying will have to take care of it all. I guess me putting that I don't want to ship into the first post was good enough.

    I had these posted for sale at audiogon for 500 bucks but the listing expired. I feel that this is the best deal you can get on A9's seeing that RTiA12's are still going for 750.00 on their ebay store.

    Yeah, sorry. I gather from the no-reply to my PM that you're not interested in my proposal. Oh well, good luck, I'm sure someone local or close to local will get the score

    For the guy who was asking, these are not simply the RTi12 with different looks. They may have similar parts, but they sound different. I've owned both, and these sound significantly better than the RTi12.

    Im sorry, my math was a little off, when I said 2,000 plus I should have said 2,063 to be exact.
    And like before, I know my maths a little fuzzy but that seems a little different then the 1,029 miles to NY

    And surprisingly the HT market out here is hit or miss. You'd THINK because we pay for a house with space, and not the same amount for a studio apartment it would mean personal theaters for everyone; but alas, not the case. I try not to think to much about why ANYONE would pay 800k for a shoe box in a horrible place, but then again there's idiots out here that pay 800k for a mansion in a horrible place too.

    And anyone that lives in the western part of these united states would consider anything, lets say over 2,000 miles, just a tad east of here. Everything's spread out here, built out, not up.

    Oh and for anyone else, this price is better than anything else. so if you want to low ball me, you can nicely assume I will ignore you.

    Fantastic price! East? You guys in California have to realize that those of us who are "actually" on the East coast consider anything on the other side of the Pittsburgh "west"! And remember we are the "oldest" part of this nation! Youngsters! Pretty uppity aren't they?

    Gosh, I hope you're not referring to me, all I asked was if I could pay for the speakers so you'd hold them for me until I could get some shipping put together.

    Since I get how you feel about shipping, maybe that's why you ignored me?

    when it says in my first post I don't want to ship, and then I am asked about it. I'm not doing it. If you PM me and say I have the company ready to go and they will pick up the speakers just let me know what time they need to be there and I'm sending the money that is a different story.

    Also to expand on that. Shipping on these things has to go via freight. I've already looked into it before for someone in PA and the cost was 250 and that was if I can drop off at the freight company and the other person could pick up.

    Otherwise drop off at freight would be and drop off at home would be 350. The things need to be strapped to a pallet, I seriously do not have the time right now to go out to a business to look for one. On top of that the one box sucks and I would have to remake the box.

    The best deal is local pick up. I know one of the parties in line is driving from another location, same with another person looking into them. It may seem mean but many times when I do ship I end up loosing money on the deal and seeing these are already lower than normal I don't feel like its worth the time for me to deal with it.

    I bought these 2 years ago for 1200 bucks from polks ebay store. SO as you can see I'm loosing money on the deal, which I'm fine with. I want to see them go to a good home so if someone can't pick them up I will just hang onto them.
