I bought these on Ebay for $71.00, but don't know what I am getting. I figured for the price it was worth the risk. Anyone care to guess? I figured one set is probably FX300's, but I have no idea about the rest. I either got a really good deal or learned a valuable lesson. Don't buy without talking to the seller! Take your guesses please. Thanks, Jeff

    In any case you can probably resell them for the purchase price ...

    But the seller thinks there's a sub ?! in that group ?

    I don't know where he gets the sub, that is the reason I bought it, hoping he didn't realize what he had. The speakers below the center seem small so maybe the center is a cs400. I doubt it, but I just couldn't resist.

    The center doesn't have the 245 profile, looks like a 400. IF that's the case, you got a steal... Of course the angle sucks so everything could be thrown off but I'm guessing that you got a steal there...

    (Could be a 175, but then the rest of the speaks would have to be super tiny...)

    Looks like....
    400 center
    Rti28's
    FX300 or 30

    I think in any case you stole them so long as they work and any one of them are in the list.

    My new guess (thanks for clearing up the tiles sid) is:
    8" tiles:
    CS245
    FX300
    RT25
    This would be a steal

    12" Tiles
    CS400
    FX500
    RT28

    For this you should be arrested...

    I think you got a steal.

    Do they have the bar-code stickers on the back? Usually, the model number appears before the s/n.

    Anyway, at $71..... you have nothing to gripe about. Any of those speakers (in a pair) are worth more than $71.

    Well my package arrived today. I haven't had a chance to listen, but they look perfect. The package contained:
    cs245i
    FX300i
    rt25 (not i)

    I just have to figure out what to do with them. I will probably put them in the bedroom.
    Thanks for all the guesses and thanks Sid for cleaning up the image.

    Surprized he didnt stick ya on the hidden shipping charges. Happens all the time. If they are MINT paid ACTUAL shipping, you got a great deal.

    The seller miscalculated shipping. He asked for $22.00 and it actually cost $36.00. He emailed asking me (very nicely) if I would pay the difference. He said he understood if I didn't want to. I felt guilty enough already, so I sent him the $14.00.

    Ebay is showing FX300is by themselves selling in the past week for around an average of $180 a pair! I also have a pair of the RT25s, which are really quite good speakers for a small stereo system in an office. I don't know much about the center channel. I'd guess you got the set for about a quarter of the minimum amount they're really worth on the used market.

    Congratulations Jeff! Great catch.

    Good Karma broham, you deserve it.

    GREAT snag, you paid a little under market on the center, and got the rest for free.

    Cheers,
