    My old neighbours called the cops the first time I watched LOTR:ROTK at reference with my new SVS PCU. I moved out shortly to another house. No complaints, so far but I did buy a house on a corner lot and the HT is facing the street. Things you have to do for great bass... :)

    I have a pair of 150's for sale as well, local pickup from DFW. I was thinking of asking for $550 but I can't now, will depart for $500 or possibly trade for other AV stuff.

    I agree w/malikarshad. The RT150 is big and heavy to ship, so it's hard to sell -- unless you can find a local buyer. Audiogon will give you more exposure. You might want to list it in your local newspaper also.

    Man, I would LOVE to have these speakers. How would you say they sound? Is there a lot of bass to them with that many woofers?

    These have alot of bass, i tried them and almost sold my 70's in place of these, then came to my senses... they lack mid range and are total overkill if you have a nice sub.. be pretty good as 2 channel speakers... w/ no sub.. they are very deep, very heavy, and hard to move./. i sold mine in the glory days of these things for around 800 or 850, via e-bay shipped to CA from fla... yeah the shipping was high too... he was happy and arrived safely... i was shocked Ups didnt destroy them.. But these look awesome!! without a doubt.. but need tons of power. I shut down a few amps with these...

    To my ears, they sounds pretty good.. Clear and bright. Driving with a Denon receiver, they sound warmer and better (Compared to Pioneer). Personally, I would say I like the sound of Rti150s better than the new Rti12s for musics. Compare to Rti12, they are bit warmer. Bass tends to be a bit weaker than the Rti12s. In general, bass from Rti speakers are somewhat "boxy" to me.

    On the other hand, like others had said, the these speakers're power hungry. So, a reasonable good receiver or power amp would make them standing out and perform pretty well in a home theater setup.

    This is just a personal opinion. Anyone has any different opinion or comment, please feel free to add. Thanks.

    This is one of those speakers that I'm probably going to want for the old/cool looking/mega bass factor later on, once I get settled into a high-paying job and a mansion with 13 audio dedicated rooms......lol

    So, if ya can hold on to 'em for me for about 20 years.....lol..........wonder if there'll be any left by then........


    Though, I think these speakers would be well-suited to my needs; I don't have a sub, like bass, and like stereo. However, I don't think I have enough amplification, and I know I don't have enough floor space for another pair.


    Good luck!

    A local Polk fan is interested in the speakers and might go for them after the holiday (in mid January or so).

    Currently, these speakers are still available. Anyone?

    :cool:
