Hrmmm... i can get a set of RT2000Ps for under $200. Should i?

Tony M

Yes you should!!!! I would....
I've read Polk will repair an amp if needed, as long as they aren't fryed...

I hope you're better but I know it's only been a day since the docs visit. I don't understand this therapy asignment. They don't quite know what's wrong in your back but they're sending you into a rehab enviroment already.

I have a bad story about rehab sessions before they know what's wrong! I was given the same treatment for my shoulder ailment. Waste of time/money and for me and alot of pain for about 2 months. I was told(by two doctors) to sue them but haven't.Got to go outside now.

Good luck and God bless you consealer404!

The PT order isn't in effect yet... they are going to wait until the rest of the diagnostics are run, so that's good at least. I may have not outlined that real well in my thread. I really appreciate your thoughts though... i've gotten a few PMs from people as well with input and support, and i appreciate it all. At least on the plus side, i just got my girlfriend back, and it's nice to have someone around to help me out the last couple days when say... i couldn't reach the cereal on the fridge or something.


Alright, i'll probably pick up those RT2000Ps then.... should be good for the HT setup at least, and then i can leave the Esprits out of there and keep them for 2 channel only for the moment.

How's those VM30's working out for you, Brett?

Tony M

Hey brett, since you don't give a f**k about them,why are they in storage and not sold? You must care more than your meter is indicating.

So, uh, where is this storage facility located?

I would totally rock a pair of RT3000p's if I could get my hands on them.

Tony M

I could mail them one section at a time,say one a month program..:D

On it. I'll update on Monday if all goes well.

Moving back into an apartment again, so running those bad boys should be interesting.....

On the plus side, i may not need to worry about finding correct placement for the RW-10D, then....

Damn you Concealer; you're only 2 hours away from me- if you think about passing on a steal... er... deal... you let me know!

Where are you located? I've already met a couple people on these boards, i'd be more than happy to have someone come and hang out and check out/critique my system if you're so inclined. There will be a LOT to critique... there's really never more than $1000 running in my system at any given time.

But yes... if they don't pass the SAF, i'll let you know. I have to verify that they're still available anyways, haven't been in contact about them in a couple days.

I'm in Cincinnati. I'd most likely only buy them to flip them, so if there is someone that really wants them that you know of, by all means go that route first.

I feel you on the "critique"; you can see what's in my system in my sig.

I'd probably eventually flip them.... i have a bad habit of not really "upgrading" per se, but trying something different and when i get bored with it, ditch it.

I desperately want something better to replace my Esprits, but as so often happens, the laws of dimishing returns rears it's ugly head, and i realize that i'd have to spend a pretty penny to get anything that is SIGNIFICANTLY better. I'm not in this hobby to spend ungodly money. I'm in this hobby to show myself what can be done on a budget.

But offer still stands. You're more than welcome to come out here at any time and hang out and listen to some tunes or even bring any gear you want to try out with a different rig. As you can see, i've got a ton of stuff to swap in and out at this point, and it's really fun to see how much the sound changes with each component change. I'm really just in this for fun, to tinker. I'm not after the most amazing lifelike replication or anything like that, just something that's fun to listen to and doesn't get old. I'm there right now, i've just got ADHD when it comes to stuff like this.

Just let me know. There's quite a few of us out here.

Hopefully i'll have pics of the RT2000Ps by Monday for you all.

I forgot a few pairs of Rti38's....i think that covers it......i'll find out in a week and a half.....lol

nguyendot

Uh... have a garage sale!

I would trade all my setup except the boston bookshelves for your 'storage' gear.

Tony M

OK Brett, your cool.

Tuan.....I don't know about 24 months. I might not live that long with the way my generation is dropping off.:(

Brett , you've got in storage what some of us have only in our dreams:rolleyes:..:D

I wish my stock pile of back-ups was that impressive!..VERY NICE indeed!:cool:

brettw22

any speaker that brings you joy is a good speaker to have.......the problem a lot of people have is that they look for things that make them think their current setups don't make them happy.....of course there is always better (as with anything in life), but stay with your pricepoints and find the happiness....... (i forgot to mention a pair of SRTs and a cs350......lol....ok, I'm done)........

I wondered about those. I thought you may have moved them on... How are they going anyway?

nguyendot

you have SRTs too? The big ones?

Tony M

I have so many speakers because the prices were cheaper than new. My income didn't allow me to help out a local audio store except once when I was 20.Over the years it has been a fun HOBBY to play with sooooo much affordable audio.I've read about all the finer speakers and amps but always tried to ask myself, "how much better can it get than this?"I still feel I'm not missing enough to think I should switch hobbies.

I do wish though I could help local audio stores.

You could if you liquidated your stock!

No, but seriously, even at half off, I can't afford this hobby... Yet somehow I've got a better setup than I could hope for. I like hearing all the differences between manufactures and models... and while I haven't heard any of the SDA's or any audiophile grade speakers post 1990... I can't imagine it gets much better than the vintage ones that I've been able to hear.

This is one of the few hobbies that I've known that allows you to collect physical objects but deals in the experience. I'm hooked.

Tony M

I've been lucky enough to have experienced alot of manufacturers idea of what music should sound like and I have to say, the Polk audio SDA SRS2's are on top right now. Followed by the Polk audio RT3000p's.
I love the lower bass output these guys have.:eek:

I did liquidate alot and bought a Sunfire amp to power the SDA's but it only lasted 2 months. I have to sell something else to send it in for repair.Totally unexpected for what I paid and it had just come back from Ritas' shop too.

I loved the sound it provided but now question its' reliability.
