I am pondering the thought of selling my rt800's to buy some rti10's but have no way to audition the rti10's. I was just wondering what some of your thoughts on the two were. Any information would be appreciated.

    Have never heard the RT800's but know the RTi-10s well. They are on the bright side for music but for HT are perfect for me. I found they are sensitive to the source and bad recordings. In my case I had some junk monster cables running from my CD to receiver and it was way too bright. Put some audioquest interconnects there instead and it was much better but still a little bright.

    No brightness on my 10's, phenomenal muscially on tubes or solid state. Solid, full range performer.

    Cheers,

    Maybe my slight brightness is due to my source, a Yamaha CD player, or something in my signal chain then? One of the reson's I got the B&K amp was becasue of its "tube like sound". If I listen to compressed music, like on a cable music channel, I notice it. Will have to start working on the wife for approval to upgrade my CD player :).

    I thougt my rt800s were to bright thats why I was thinking of changing. I had a yamaha receiver and yamaha cd dvd player as the source. I went from a sony cd dvd player to the yamaha and there was a world of difference. I'll be going to a old rotel amp and pre amp processor to try and warm things up a bit, I hope it helps. This will also be my first chance to try seperates.:)
