    Don't be a fool. Buy them.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    so i picked up the rti8's, the fxi3's, and the csi3 yesterday...


    WOW.

    that's all i have to say. a tad bright, but i can fix that. these are some of the most translucent speakers i have heard in some time.. the helicopter blades in Terminator 2 sound like they should! Even things like whistles sound very accurate to me. im SO glad i got these! Thanks for the encouragement guys, i needed that.:D :D
