i picked up a mint marantz 2252 the other day. locally. it came with box bose. i looked in clist. saw some klipsch kg2's and thought that would sound good being it was older speaker with passive on rear of it.....then i saw some rti8 polks that feet were broke-grills broke in half from shipping..he wanted 200.00 for them.....well i sent a email. he called me back. 150.00 so i had to decide....i knew nothing about the rti8 speakers....got there. they were beautiful....bought them.130.00 got them home. took feet off. easy process....plastic junk. lol....going to order new grill/ordering 2 if i can buy them????cleaned them up. hooked them too the marantz 52 watter.....i was totally surprised. they sounded beautiful for a 130.00 set of speakers.......bottom piece where front polk plastic rounded piece of plastic junk was. im going to use a certain paint on a 5in area so when grills are on it will look all black on front......hope i made a good decission on rti8 vs kg2 as i like to rock on with music at a moderate volume.as you know the rti8 are much taller than kg2 klipsch's. its hard to decide something without having them hooked up to audition. i placed this in our room as you walk into house. the marantz is a nice 52watt unit. i had the 2230 and this unit is quite close to that but the 52 is in mint condition.....is getting grills easy?? cost?? also any thoughts on using a non powered sub going through speaker connection or should i just leave it be. seems like it bassy enough.but if i can get better preformance. why not. im so used to powered subwoofers....these are temporary speakers until i stummble on some vintage polks but i want these perfect till then.. feedback on getting grills or using a sub would be thankful. thank you for viewing
