    I think I'll get these for my bookshelves...

    instead of a computer sub just replace them with these?

    That a good price?

    i'll be ready to buy depending on member response on preformance of this speaker as I have no experience with it.

    I bought a pair of black RT55i's from Audiogon about a year ago for about $300.00 ........loaned them to my brother before hearing them with an amp.....with a receiver they are ok but with an amp probably much, much better.

    i'll be running them with a tx 8211

    It'll be for computer games and music....


    i'm hoping it'll go low enough to replace a sub for music and well good enough for video games...b/c dorm space is quite limited....

    I figured as much. Most sell for $300+. I didn't expect a pair for $200 to last for more than an hour or two.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    I bought mine from a college guy and like he told me...they do have tons of bass.

    I got the RT 55's great bookshelf, albeit a big and clunky (not to mention heavy) bookshelf. Yes, you can run it on a reciever with good results, but seperate amplification definitly makes a difference with these. for me, they're keepers
