    The RT800 was one hell of a 2 channel speaker. Not the best, but at it's price point was quite good. Make sure you research good, otherwise you might be sorry. I was, and it took a while and a lot of $$$ to get back what I had. Other speakers offered more in some aspects, but in my experience took away more in other aspects which was.......disappointing to say the least.

    I haven't heard the other one's you have listed, but you may have the best already in that series. Those with more experience with the lineup feel free to chime in.

    I have a pair of RT10s that I have always liked but I loved the RT16s a friend owned. Sadly he sold them. Not to me.
