RTi38 vs. Athena AS-B2
We have Athena AS-B2 on sale during boxing week for $149 CAD per pair, I grabbed 2 pairs and would like to hear some comment and experience with this bookshelf speakers. And how about comparison to RTi38, seems like a matched competitor, 6.5" woofer / 1" tweeter... Any Athena lovers here, Steve?

It will really depend on your personal listening taste as both are good speakers. I think you get alot more bang to buck ratio with the Athena. The AS-B2 at $150 a pair, is a steal.Source: Bluesound Node 2i - Preamp/DAC: Benchmark DAC2 DX - Amp: Parasound Halo A21 - Speakers: MartinLogan Motion 60XTi - Shop Rig: Yamaha A-S501 Integrated - Shop Spkrs: Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2

I found listening to them they had a similar sound to the rti line
do you work at FS ? -
i don't work at futureshop or internal discount anything, FS had this as door crasher deal ($299 discount $150, half price!) starting at boxing day 0:00 online, it was not as demanding as the HK AVR130 at $299, so i was lucky got them the second day online. they are still on sale NOW! though the online availability is 0, they still have some left in-stock, check it out on the page willow...
