good prices right now on TSi200 / Monitor 40 / RTiA1 / SS20 ....id like to buy new but dont know

I was going to buy some bookshelves from Klipsch and man they have 4 models that look all the same and I guess Im not impressed. I liked the one with the 8inch driver but then thats tower prices.

I have RTiA9s and I am running them off a carver TFM42 thats been upgraded/rebuilt. I have the power for them...

I have a 5 channel amp just sitting around so I thought I would grab a pair of small speakers to add to the stereo. I have subs so its not about trying to get base.

the build of the RTiA is much better than the rest but I did like the cherry TSi200 ...so its almost between them 2. Amazon had the RTiA1 cheaper than Polk direct did on ebay.

should I just skip that all together lol...I am going to look at a B&W sub today just to see if its better than the other 3 I have.

    If you're considering $221 for LSi-7's, I think I'd get the LSiM 703's from Adorama at what $349 ?? Brand new, with warranty no shipping cost. 7's are real nice but 703's are much better.

    I have a pair of LSi9 you can have for $300. Ebony and in great condition. Come out to polkfest and take them home.

    If you got a good amp that’s a great deal! Really fun almost full range speakers...

    they haven't been 700 a pair in a long time. Perhaps the sale price has bounced back up but they have been real low for some time now. Probably go back down again soon, seems to do that.
