    Probably these but could be rt800i hard to tell without seeing them naked.


    Good price but they seem to have been in storage or a very poor housekeeper;)

    Initially, I would have agreed with messiah since there is only 2" difference in ht, it is hard to tell from the pics which they are. Of course if you go by and see them, the difference in # of MW becomes apparent. Of course the model # is on the back sticker, but the photos are not good enough to read.

    Just based on a height proportion measurement of the pics, I would say they are RT800i's (bot to seam in grill is equal to seam to top)
    the RT600i's 'top proportion is only 90% of the bottom.
    BUT they don't have duel binding posts, so maybe they are earlier Rt800i's
    or the angle of the photo is throwing the proportions off.
    Either way, pretty good deal, if they are fully functional.

    pic RT600i: 38-3/8" H x 8" W x 10-1/2" D
    single woofer

    or else RT800i: 40-1/4" H x 8" W x 10-1/2" D
    Duel woofers

    I'm pretty sure the rt800i's have dual binding posts, and these have single.

    It's still a very good deal considering what you are getting for the $. Try and talk him down a bit and see what you can get him down to. These are the tower version of the Rt35i, and the come with the center, and surrounds.

    Those blue coned drivers sound very smooth. Even if they aren't the dual mids it is still a bargain at $150 for a full HT speaker setup. If you are looking for a 5.1 it is a no brainer.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    OK after doing some research and going and seeing them I could not resist. I gladly paid 150 for these after seeing the condition they were in. What did it for me was the energy bookshelf, they sound and look amazing and retailed for 500. everything is 9 out of 10, just a few dirty spots. Here are some pics, going to go play now.
