Denon AVR-989 for $549 shipped from Amazon. Link

Damn.. if my b-day was a little closer I might be able to rationalize grabbing this.

I couldn't resist. One of these will be delivered to me tomorrow! This is my first audio upgrade in probably over 7 years or so :eek:

Can't wait to hear the HD audio on my blu-rays for the first time. Hope my lowly RTi80's/CSi40/FXi30's are up to the task! This thing even has pre-outs, which is good -- but bad because I don't know how long I'll be able to resist trying out a separate amplifier for the first time.

I couldn't find anything specifically about the RTi80, but I'm guessing these are towers similar to the RT800i, or RTi70, from some generation of the earlier Reference Theater series. Paired with a big center like the CSi40, there's nothing "lowly" about that IMO. Sure, they're not the proverbial "high end", with expensive finish and "chic" appeal, but every large RT speaker I have ever heard can do an outstanding job for HT when driven dynamically at near reference levels (80dB+). They sometimes don't get the respect that I certainly think they deserve (possibly because of the fairly basic equipment they are often associated with).

Just calibrate your system carefully with the new Denon, and enjoy it!

There are no Rti80's.... There were i70's, i100 and i150 in that version of the RT speakers.

oops, meant to say RTi70's. Got too excited. Started out years ago with a crappy HTIB Aiwa system. Found a deal on a better HTIB Polk system, found the forum, got the bug, and before you knew it I had the setup I have today. I had to force myself not to read the speakers/electronics forums here and at avs forums so I could further avoid upgrade-itus. But this Denon was too good of a deal to pass up. Can't wait to hook it up to my Polks.

Hush, you!

Just playing... i think i'm going to hold out for another M-5150 if i continue on the Onkyo route. It is rather frustrating that none of them are 4ohm rated though. I should try some 4ohms on mine.... it never seems to strain or get hot when i run it.

Is this that good of a deal? I was just at a local audio shop and they sold a minty looking matching pair of these for $499. I was mad that i missed them.

If he had two at that price, i'd give them a shot, but i don't feel like tracking down another.

Polk R50s, cherry, mint condition.

Bet he'd take $100 for them. I liked mine very much for a budget speaker.

Criterion 5XBs for $70, been up for awhile, look like they're in good shape. Grab for $50? Don't know a ton about them, but it seems to be low side on price from what i've found.
