I'm looking to take my stereo system to the next level this winter in my ice fishing shack. You might think this sounds foolish, but you'd have to see our ice shack and go fishing with us to understand.

Anyway...I heard my friends RT35's this weekend and really liked the sound, especially the bass coming out of those small boxes. I'm looking for something similar in good working conditon. All the better if they're dinged up so I can save a few bucks. I don't expect to get a sub so I'm looking for a larger bookshelf with decent punch. Thanks!

    Oh yeah...I'd probably be willing to spend $100 or so. If I don't find any decent used speakers, I might end up buying Cambridge SoundWorks Model Six speakers. Any opinion on those?

    I'm looking for something with a little more bass than the R20, but thanks for the reply. I passsed those up at a local pawn shop a few weeks ago. If I can't find anything similar in performance to the RT35's, I'll try the Model Six's. I think CSW still lets you audition them for 30 days.

    BTW, I'm in Iron Mountain, Michigan. My pickup possibilites are pretty limited. (green bay, wi or marquette, mi)

    I appreciate both offers but I'm going to hold off and try to find something closer to what I'm looking for. Thanks!
