Well, please disregard all my other posts asking for places to buy RTi10s and 12s. I got a CSi5 for a pretty good price on Crutchfield and also ordered a pair of RTi8s for $150 a piece (half of what i could find the RTi10s for). I can't wait to try these speakers out!

P.S. if anybody is interested in a pair of Monitor 70s (for pickup in San Antonio) or a CS2 (will ship anywhere), please let me know.

    You will like that setup together, however you may want to add a little more power down the road for the RTi8's. I noticed a huge improvement when I bi-amped them. I plan on getting this amp in the future (2 channels to right, 2 chanenls to left and 1 to center) - http://www.emotiva.com/xpa5.html

    thanks for the feedback! I've been eyeballing the LPA-1 (if i can find one) or the UPA-7. good to know that someone is in the same boat as me and has had a favorable experience. I hope to get one of those amps next year some time.

    frequently check emotiva forums for LPA-1's....with recent introduction of UPA-7, LPA-1's are easier to find and enjoy your new setup
