:( Due to a very nasty divorce I am forced to sell my beloved rti speakers. The set includes 1pr Rti70's, Csi40, and 1pr fxi30's. All speakers are in at least 8/10 condition and sound great. Asking $700(negotiable) for all plus shipping. Will also break up the set. I hate to part with them, but I must.:(
Everytime I think I'm out, THEY PULL ME BACK IN!!!!!!

    I can say the same thing about my Tylers. Though I could have been a bit more proactive in snatching 'em up, with the offered assistance from fellow Polkies.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    This is why they invented guns. I would be killing people if that happened to me. Did you end up getting them back or did the garbage man take them to his house?

    since she put it to the curb, did you just drive by there and pick it up? that's what I would have done.

    Thanks for the encouraging words. It been a long haul. I won custody of my kids:D, but the ex caused me to loose my house in foreclosure. She actually had my loan modification cancelled behind my back.:mad: So I'm really looking for quick sales on this stuff, thx again.

    I'm so sorry to hear. That price you have is a steal for someone who wanted to ump start a very nice good sounding theater . The main speakers new cost more then that.

    Someone is going to get a nice system cheap.

    Again man I'm so sorry.

    Man, if I hadn't just blown a bunch of money, I would SO be interested in those FXi30s. I'm running RTi70/CSi40 in the front with 4 RTi28s as surrounds, but I've always wanted some bipole/dipoles to try out. If you end up breaking up the set and sell off the front soundstage, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can scrape up.
    Equipment list:
    Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor

    Man, I can't bear that visual. I can't imagine what it would be like if they had been mine.

    I guess you would have to take it as confirmation that the two of you are better apart than together. Pretty sharp-edged confirmation though.
