    Sand, if you don't mind the drive down to Buffalo/Williamsville, there is a stereo advantage on main right off the 190 going toward Niagara Falls. Just make a right on main and go down about 2-3 lights and its on your right.

    Here is this weeks ad. Nice store, I bought an alpine amp from them back in 92 and it still works!

    I can personally say that the RTi10's are great speakers and there at a great price right now. If you can get a hold of them it would be my choice.

    I’ve never heard the monitor 70’s so I can’t comment on them, but I would personaly go with the RTI over the monitor anyday.
