These are pretty much 9/10 condition. I have the original box and packing. I bought these for another rig that never materialized and once again they have been sitting unused. Not much to say other than these are very nice sounding book shelf speakers. I was actually surprised how musical they are, great match with a lower powered tube amp.

$140 plus shipping. I would like to sell locally if possible as it's always a risk to ship speakers even in the original box. But I am not limiting it to local only, but a local sale may take precedence.

Paypal prefered add 3.5%

    Ooops, that would be helpful wouldn't it.

    Rockford, IL.

    I am pretty much between most of the Chicago suburbs and middle/southern Wisconsin.

    *BUMP*

    $130 + shipping and I have a pair of Clarity caps I was going to install on the high pass of the x-over which I'll throw in.

    No one needs a pair of mint RTi-38's?

    Price too high?

    Last reduction before I list them on Ebay. These are easily worth the asking price as they look and sound like new.

    $120 plus shipping, includes Clarity Caps for the high pass modification, original box and packing.

    Sunday BUMP'ola

    Kind of perplexed I've had zero activity on these. You won't find a nicer condition pair.

    They need a loving home.

    Me too. There is usually a WTB thread looking for these or their close cousins. I use a pair as rears in my HT, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good they sound by themselves as a stereo music pair. Be patient. Someone will be looking for a pair eventually.

    TNHNDYMAN,

    I'm going to pass at this time, but I might still be interested in the TFK's. I'll discuss it in a PM.

    H9 I searched the forum but could not find the crossover scematic for these. What are the values of the caps and resistors?

    Positive feedback for H9.

    Very nice speakers and my son will be tickled with these replacing his Dayton Audio B652 monitors!

    Glad to see your son has these RTi38s! I have the RTi28s which have a slightly smaller driver but they sound terrific. I am sure the '38s sound fantastic! Good luck with these!
