    If there isn't any interest, they will be parted out, will use the drivers for the center speaker I am constructing and will sell the tweeters at a later date. Then use the box as fire wood[/QUOTE]

    HMMMMM.....I'll let someone else take this one.

    I also have the orig. receipt, not that it matters as they are long over warranty...they still sound great. Just don't have a need for them any longer. Will keep em on here for a week or so, and then off to the bay they go...

    Thanks

    AB, they're not RTi 16's.....just plain RT. They're the generation before all of the RTi vs. RTxxi stuff, and they ABSOLUTELY kick ****. I have 3 pair and while they're not in my current lineup, they're not goin anywhere.

    These are the perfect speaker for someone looking for a powerful tower and not any room for a sub. Most often, you'll think that you have a sub goin with them and will definitely never miss the big extra box in the room.

    These have a "power port" in the pedestal of each speaker. I have RT-10's and they pump a good bit of bass with only one woofer.

    I wish I had more room, but with 12 pairs already and the fact they're in Cali kills it for me. I'd love to have them, looks to be a nice price also.

    Some will snatch 'em up. Invasion of the Polk Snatchers.:p

    Good Luck,

    I thought they would of been sold already......figure 33% of retail would be a quick sale....

    Anyway I will be going on vacation until the 11th of July. So will not send them to ebay till after that. I'll check back and the first PM that shows interest will have em'

    How do these stack up to the RTi70's? I'm about to head over to Illinois to pick up a set of those.

    I remember these having a better bass response than the 70s when I heard them. I also prefer the mids and highs in these to the 70s...so overall I prefer these speakers, mostly for music.

    Having said that, I own the 70s and am happy with those, and prefer those for movies and the main living area...

    The reason I have 3 pairs is because I like them so much better than the lines that have been released over the past few years.

    The price of 33% of retail isn't bad, but then again, the speakers are 8-10 years old now.

    Value is all in the eyes of the buyer though, so who knows......

    Scott,

    I wish you were closer, because they'd be in my house by now. You'll probably get more on the bay anyway. Good Luck.

    Money isnt' really an issue, it is the wife factor, I would prefer to keep em' but got the SDA-1's a month ago, and she hates stuff just lying around. Including me:D We'll see what happens, if they don't sell on the bay. Then I'll come back with an offer to forum members that will hopefully come to a quick sale.

    My wife just asked me today, when I was going to start selling some of the 12 pairs laying around the house,:D I told her that I would rearrange a fairly large closet we have this weekend so I could get some of them out of sight.

    Those don't get buried anywhere but in my ears. Don't worry, if the others come through, you'll get first dibs. I've got a new/used SL2000 coming to fix a slight fuzzy sound in the right one that I can hear at certain freqs.
