Is this a good deal, I have a chance to pick up these RTi150's for $270.00 and LS 50's for $225, Just how good are they and is the price worth the 250 Mile round trip drive?

I need to give a answer if I am going to buy them. I sure could use some help. I haven't seen these before on EBAY or anywhere else is why I am questioning the deal.

    I had the RTi150s and I thought the were a great speaker. $270 sounds like a good deal. You need lots of power for them though.

    Hey thanks for the reply, I nedd a question answered when you say it needs lots of power, do you mean it needs to be played loud or do you mean that it can be played at a low level but need the power to do this.

    The offer to me now is to meet me half way and also will include Two LS 50's for $400.00 or $350.00 if I drive the hole distance.

    It seems to be a really good deal even if I end up not likeing them.

    Power as in amplifier watts. The RTi150 need a high current amp. I drove them with two NAD amps at 300 plus watts per channel and they sounded great. Before that I had a run of the mill Sony receiver rated at 100 watts per channel and they sounded like crap.

    And hell ya they will play loud with the proper juice.

    Well it turned out to be better than I thought, The speakers did turn out to be RTi 150's the surise was the LS's turned out to be LS 70's. I paid 350 for all of them and He drove a 150 miles to meet me for 50.00 in gas. Now what to do.

    I have now 2 ls70's 2 ls50's 2 ls/fx surrounds 2 rt150's 1rt1000p 1rt1000i plus i think 2 sa 6's?

    What would be the best setup HT

    Let your ears decide which way you want to go for the HT.

    If it helps, I might be interested in buying the RTi150s off you if you end up not prefering them.
