This guy is selling his package for $500. Not sure if he's willing to separate or ship, but for those who are interested. No Affl.

(I don't even know if these speakers are good, just wanted to share the link)

    I'd love to get those FXi50's. Too bad I'm so damn far away. I can't seem to ever find any good deals on CL in my area (Philly).

    You can always try emailing the guy and see if he's willing to ship. Never know how desperate people are to sell things :)

    The CSi40 is also an excellent center channel, if it's anything like the CS400(i). RT55/55i and CS400/400i make a fantastic L/C/R setup for HT, and it's pretty darn good for music too, with the right receiver IMO.

    The pricing seems exactly right to me, especially if he/she is the original owner and they are pristine (9/10 for age only), in which case $450-500 would be precisely what I would expect (or even $100 more). Otherwise, if 7/10 or 8/10, I'd still be thinking $150 for the RT55i, $125 or more for the CSi40, and maybe $125 for the FXi50 (full disclosure: I've never really followed pricing used on that particular model). Even if there is some minor to moderate damage, as long as they are in good working order (no damaged tweeters, drivers or crossovers), with some scratches on the cabinets, and a pin or two missing on the grilles etc., just for performance, I'd still be considering about $100 for the RT55i and the same for the CSi40. So, following that thinking, $250-300 seems to be the absolute minimum for the package.
    Alea jacta est!
