AV123 RS450's, Worth a listen?

timswim78

So, I listened to some LSI9's and really like them. My plan is to buy a pair.

However, I recently noticed that AV123 has their RS450 speakers on sale for a price that is very comparable to the LSI9's. Is there anyone here who has experience with these speakers and would like to comment on them. Is it worth my time to track them down and listen to them, or should I just stick with my plan to buy the LSI9's?

If they sound as nice as the LSI9's, I would prefer them, because they do not need speaker stands.

Economically speaking, I can get a used pair of LSI9's for about $540 shipped and a new pair of RS450's for about $580 shipped.

Thanks!

Give 'em a shot. AV123 has a great home trial & return policy. That's the only way you'll ever know. In your home, listening with your ears, not relying on somebodies review thru their ears. Try to pick up the LSi9's at the same time for a real world A/B listening test.
