Which one should I sell
So I need to sell either the Rti A9 or the VR3 modded A7 as I have three sets of towers.
If you had to choose which one would you sell?
Cheers

A9s. A7s + sub are more HT friendly IMHO. Also doesn't need as much amp to sound their best.
The modded A7s you will likely lose more on since most folks won't pay that much of a premium for the mods."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

I'd sell them all and buy something different.
If I had to choose though, the modded A7's with a subwoofer might be my choice over the A9's. You using these for HT/music/both ?HT SYSTEM-

lsi 9's -
Have to agree with the above comments. I got hammered on the price for My vr3 modded lsi center, most people had no idea what the mod was. I got questions like what does it do? I have had both a7 and a9, the 9's were so friggen big and sucked so much power. I would keep the 7's. Or sell everything and be prepared to take a hit on price.2 channel:

Also seems gear just isn't moving these days, people aren't buying right now, unless you're basically giving something away.2 channel:

Thanks for the input, I already planned to sell the 9's anyway just figured I would get you guys thoughts to help confirm the decision.
And as commented above I would not get back what I put into the 7's and buyer probably wouldn't appreciate what the upgrade did to inprove these speakers.

Well that fast the 9's are sold.
I paid $800 for them last January and sold them for $600 to a friend.. Could have got more but what the heck he doesn't make make a ton of money and I still get to listen to them when we visit.
