Went to CC today, they were hooked up to a ~$900 Onkyo amp. Played Sade Live through a Sony DVD.

Bass was punchy, midrange was fairly defined, a *tad* muddy. The highs were clear and crisp, but again, a *tad* muddy.

I think with some better cables, and some proper setup, these could REALLY shine. A nice ~80wpc amp would drive them nice. I like the idea of using 3 6.5" for subwoofer. Gives a nice tight bass without the boom of a bigger speaker.

    Steve I would think that next to your LSI9 most of the rt line would sound muddy. I envy your setup that is the system I would like to get one day.

    Lsi and rt are different.........muddy maybe..compared that is........but the rt line is still IMO a good line for what you pay......excellent.

    Well also the Rt and RTI line is subtley different to isn't it. The lsi line i would say is the most refined and higher end, But.. that doesn't make the RTI line inferior or sound bad, or muddy or what ever you will call them,

    At $749 a peice, they are a little higher priced, but I would have a pair in my house. For home theater they would be quite nice because of the extended bass response.
