    Has anyone bought any of these yet ? I know the Fry's special has been posted here for a while now.

    I'm thinking of getting a pair,curious as to whether DHL has delivered in a timely fashion with no problems?

    They (DHL) don't have the best reputation in our area.

    Thanks for any help.

    DHL busts **** here. I order from Fry's on a Friday and DHL shows up Monday. Order on a Monday, they're here Wednesday.

    UPS suck here. FedEx and DHL are usually pretty good.

    DHL in S Fla stands for "dumb Heine lickers". No offense H9:p
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    A friend at worked picked up a pair from Frys.com at my recommendation. It took three days to get them, and she loves them paired up to a Pioneer Elite VSX-92TXH.

    The RTi8s - in black, were on their site for that price through yesterday, or early today. I guess it appears the black is out of stock and the cherry is all that's left. The cherry is a beautiful color and finish, though. I've owned them before and hope to be going for another pair.

    Nothing a can of spray paint can't cure ... at least going to black.

    I ordered a pair of the cherry last Monday and they showed up Wednesday am. Given that it was dhl, I was amazed. I've had nothing but problems with them in the past.

    I thought about just that...but,the Cherry version is just too attractive to repaint.

    I already have a CSi5 in Black or I would opt for the Cherry.
