Nothing earth shattering, but I picked up some RT600i's, a CS2 (that he advertised as a CS1), and a Velodyne CHT-10 sub all in mint/near mint condition for $75. I haven't checked out the sub yet but the towers and center sound great, not so much together, but at least they are working fine.

I am going to sell something from these or my older Monitors, just haven't decided which. It's fun comparing them though.

Question, the RT600's look like RT35's on pedestals. Are they basically the same? They seem to have, with very limited testing, to have deeper bass and a wider soundstage than the bookies.

Oops, sorry about that last photo.

    Thanks, very happy but busy flipping part of it already. I sold my old HK sub last night for $50 and will use the Velodyne from now on, or at least till some other deal comes along. Same guy is interested in the RT600i's. Is $100 fair to ask for them in mint condition?

    I think $100 is very fair in mint condition.

    Thanks. The hard part is deciding what to sell. I have two pair of Monitor 7's so put one of them and the RT600's on CL and figure I will just keep whichever doesn't sell.

    Well the RT's are gone for $120, so I am in the black already and still have the CS2 to sell or store, and have the upgrade to my sub.

    Sometimes CL is great. Actually all my dealings have been good, with the exception of one wasted trip for mis-identified speakers.
