    Going to revisit the RTi line. I've been listening to more rock and I like the more lively sound the RTi's provide. So I'm picking up the RTi12's, a CSi5, FXi5's, RTi6's, and a second PSW505. (I traded my 650 for a 505 a couple weeks ago) I ordered the speaker directly from Polk for my employee discount so I have to wait for the order to be processed and then shipped.

    The other thing is that I'm moving to St. Louis at the end of August so I don't know if I'll even crack them open until after I move. On the one hand, they'd be safe and sound in their factory packing, but on the other hand, hey it's a new pair of RTi12's!

    What AMP you'll be using with your RTi12's? You'll need lot of power to feed those suckers. I'd say get RTi8 and 2 subs instead.

    Anyways congrats on your purchase!

    Oh I've got an amp in mind....one of the Monster three-channel amps. Should be just what the doctor ordered for the 12's. And I'm going to have two 505's already. Or did you mean two more? lol

    Before I had read the entire thread I was gonna suggest that you move outta Iowa, but you've already taken care of that one.....:D :D

    Why would you drop down to the 505 from the 650 when the LSiW is supposed to spank both of them?

    The 505's will match the RTi finish and I think two 505's will outperform the LSiW (not that I've heard it).

    When new gear is on its way...

    I reckon UPS/FedEx/USPS.com gets about 1,000 more hits than normal ;)
