I caught the upgrade bug and bought new speakers. I'd like to sell the csi a6, and maybe my rti a9s, depends on the offer and cost of shipping.

They are all cherry and in perfect condition. Less than 1 year old.

CSI A6 for $350? Is that too high? OBO, of course.

    I posted a price for the CSI A6 which I am most certainly looking to sell. $350 obo, I am flexible.

    I may not sell the RTI A9 if there is not enough interest, which is why I did not post a price yet.

    I am selling the CSI A6 because I upgraded my front soundstage to Klipsch KL650's.

    I'd love to get $1000 for them, but with this economy that is doubtful. $1000 obo picked up locally. These things dont have any scratches.

    I will ship, but it will be at the buyers expense. They are big, heavy and I'd hate to see them damaged.

    subwoofers.

    My plan is to buy an acoustically transparent screen and mount the speakers behind it, freeing up alot of floor space.


    The subwoofer is an AV123 mfw-15. I absolutely refuse to sell that :D

    I bought them as a floor model from Tweeter right before they closed down the store.

    I have the original packaging.

    Do you mean $1000 for all 3 items? or jus the A9's? I guess shipping would be a lot for those items too. Those are very nice speakers though.

    CSI A6 is separate.

    I will do $1000 shipped for the RTI A9, but I'm not even sure if UPS/FedEx will accept them. They are big, heavy and very bulky.

    Polk uses FedEx to ship them from the warehouse. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't accept them. It'll cost, but....

    Wow, those are beautiful. How do you feel about shipping to Germany...I will pay shipping costs.

    I would take the A6's too. +a little extra cash for making sure they are packaged well enough to not get damaged.

    I am very serious about this and I have the cash.

    WoW!!! $2600 shipped, That's alot...more than they would cost new, . I think you know what my answer is going to be. Thanks for looking up the cost to ship, I really appreciate it. That's too bad, those are beautiful speakers and I have a very big room to fill.

    I think alot of you are underestimating the size of these speakers.

    I'm going to have to schedule a pickup because they will not fit into my car. I had to rent a truck to bring them home when I bought them.

    An older picture to show the depth of the speaker:

    The shipping is steep but I am still considering and I still have the cash. Gimmie a day or two to decide. I know they are worth it, I have seen and heard them...worth the weight. LOL

    I have decided that it's just too much speaker to ship to Germany. I'll send you a PM cochise. Good luck getting rid of them, they are fantastic speakers.
