Hey what do you guys think is a good price for a new pair of the rti 10s. I just got some and want to see if i got a good deal. And if anybody knows where i can find a good priced used two channel amp that I could use to power the 10s that would be awesome. Thanks for any help!

    Adcom 555's are piling up on Audiogon. You should be able to get loads of power at an all-time low price for this model.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I would check audiogon and ebay. Adcom's are frequents (555 would be nice with RTi10s), as well as B&K for a warm sound (St-140, St-202, ST-202+, 125.2, 200.2), and there are always Carvers out there as well. Of course, some nice amps come through the Flea Market here if you are patient.

    Carvers' don't have much in the way of service, support or replacement parts these days, just FYI.

    I love my B&K (St-202) and would only replace it if I found an EX-442 or something more powerful for a really killer price.

    Well, you can use the MSRP (on this site) as reference and see how many % less you paid for yours.

    As for the amplifier. You have a ton of gear to choose from. Check ebay, audiogon, this forum for an amp. I like NAD, Adcom, Rotel, etc.

    The 555's are all over the place on the 'Gon. They're all set at around $300 shipped, so I'm sure you can get 'em for even lower. Looks to be the time to strike if you're sitting on the fence.

    I would be careful with that 0 feedback seller on those Adcom's, he is wanting cash/MO.

    On the 555, right? I agree... plus there's about five others listed at the same price with shipping included.
