.... Courtesy of my local craigslist!! The bottoms have some scuffs, but the tops and sides are in great condition, and the woofers and tweeters are working perfectly. So that's 2 deals in one week...last sunday grabbed a pair of rt35i's for 100 bucks. So far I feel the RT7's are the better deal, but I do like the way the rt35i's sound too. Now gotta go push em a bit :D

    Nice...that's a killer deal.

    I've never heard RT7's before...but a lot of people on here seem to like them quite a bit.

    yes i love mind, i think they were the the best low price speaker made,
    i set mind up with the psw-650 subs as a stereo pair and the sub makes them sound so clean, real deep sound stage but its hard to set just right, and it takes a lot of tweeking

    Thanks Joseph. I have them on sanus 26" stands which puts the tweeters at exactly ear level. The are 8 feet apart. So far so good. Last night I had the tv on, and my girlfriend commented that the center channel sounded louder than usual. I laughed. It was in STEREO lol:D. Gotta say, I'm really liking these speakers!!

    I want to send you congrats on the RT-7s...you just beat my deal just this last weekend with my pair for 40.00 but I would have paid more when I finally hooked them up. They are awsome and I haven't used that term for years. Soundstage is the best in all my speakers!!
