hmm...speaking of fxia4, does anyone know of this site...looks like they have them for 279 http://www.highdecibels.com/proddetail.asp?prod=FXiA4
-
DO NOT deal with Highdecibels.com. I ordered from them back in mid January, they over charged my CC, missed three shipping dates they promised, still no product, no refund. They won't respond to emails or return phone calls.
-
It also depends if you prefer the look of the old rti line...(like I do!) I live in Canada and just bought used Fxi3 for 150$ which sounds like a pretty good deal over here. My 5.1 set up is now complete!!!! RTi10, Csi3, Fxi3, PSW10... Man, I love these speakers!!!!
-
wow solid deal at $150. A little off topic but how does the PSW10 hold up with your set up? I see one for 50 bones on craigs list I may bite on but heard mixed reviews.
-
People generally agree that this sub is no big deal. With my 10s, when listening to music (in 2.1 mode), it adds this little kick to the bass. For movies, it adds a lot of bass. However, keep in mind that there are better subs over there Depends on cash that you can or want to spend on it!

A buddy of mine ordered 2 sets of FXiA4's (black) around the beginning of Febuary.
2 weeks later, after being charged, they still hadn't been shipped. After a ****-load of emails and calls, he finally was told that they hadn't been shipped because all they had was white ones.
One upside to this whole story is that the guy he talked to upgraded his A4's to A6's for $60 more.
Downside is that he STILL hasn't received any speakers, although UPS is showing that they actually shipped them this time."Dr Dunn admitted that his research could also be interpreted as evidence that women are shallower than men. He said: "Let's face it - there's evidence to support it."Best Buy is for people who don't know any better. Magnolia is for people who don't know any better and have more money to spend.

Where did he place his order???

I went by a local Tweeter's that was closing and was looking for another pair of FXi3's to go with the pair I already have. They did not have them, but I got a pair of FXiA4's instead for $120. My wife is bugging me to go back to check the prices for some floor standing ones.
Now I need to figure out which ones to put where for my 7.1 system.
Any ideas?

Tweeter is a great place for cheap polks you can get in hand. I got my Fxi3's for 115 flat. They were white and did not match the rest of my set up but a light went off and I took matters into my own hand and did a paint mod. I think I might do a second coat but they are in storage right now until my home theater is built. Last time I was at my tweeter thay wanted 250 a piece for the rti12's...boy was I tempted except for the pwer hungry issue. Anyways here is my mod thread again.
