    I'd also like to add CSi25 center for 69.99 each..

    I seriously would've grabbed a pair of R50's and a CSi25 and move my r30's to the back for surrounds if I didn't plan on getting a subwoofer :(

    I just ordered a CSi25 from Fry's. Was debating on four R15's or a CSi25. My system needs a center channel more than anything, the sat 2's just don't cut it. I'll move them to surround back to try 7.1 and decide whether on not it's worth it. Then I'll worry about how many R15's to get.

    Bullshifter, they're on sale at (or close to) those prices quite often so don't freak out if you miss the sale since they'll be back on sale in no time.

    Good deal, though.

    The Fry's here often has those R50's for that price. But they are always in the cherry finish, not black. What gives?

    For the longest time, Fry's up here in Dallas only had the black finish on sale. I guess they're out. The last two times they ran a special on the R50's have been for the cherry finish.

    But you never know with Fry's.

    Don't want to be a grinch and I don't know this for a fact, but I think the Rs are getting scarce at Frys. The regular sales seem to be getting farther apart and regional only. I wouldn't be surprised if it's about done.

    I say this cause I had some folks over today to listen to some subs. Everyone was extremely complimentory of the R50s. I've always thought they were a great value, sounding extremely good in my system. Evidently others feel the same.:cool:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B
    PB13Ultra RO
    BW Silvers
    Oppo BDP-83SE

    I think they're at retail prices. I'll double-check tomorrow and let you know.

    The Sunday ad has the Csi25 centers onsale. I don't remember the price.

    sheez... the R15's went down 10 more bucks..... 39.99... I wish I could get these, but the H100 I will be ordering ( thanks to the reviews from the same Ron here, and his sons and Cyberbri from AVS that really helped with my decision. ) and a DVD player already puts me over budget! I need some matching surrounds and the center :(
