Well...I bought these thinking that they'd be great for my surrounds, but they are just too big and are not getting use to their full potential.

So, I've decided to sell them.

Looking for 125. I'd really like to get a local pick up somewhere in Columbus.

I can put pics up later tonight.

They are in pretty good shape. The only downfall I've found in them is that the grills aren't a extremely snug fit. I've never had them fall off except when I'm moving them around.

Can also take video if you need to "see/hear them in action".

Let me know if you're interested. Going to post on craigslist when I get home for 160 if I haven't heard anything here...

Thanks,
Ryan

    You're making me second guess myself...Yes...I was saying 125 for the pair. Last pair went for 150 on here. Thought that was a fair price.

    I'd love for someone to trade me some FXIs...that's what i was hoping to find with the money I make from these.

    Yes, Sorry. I meant to put pics up last night. Fighting a cold and got off work a little late. Went home and crashed.

    At work again today, but will put them up after the Buckeye game.

    However, at this point, I'm not sure I'm wanting to ship these just yet. I'll be honest. I've never shipped speakers before, so I'm still hoping for a local sale.

    Thanks!

    Buyer decided that they were too big for the application he was hoping to use them for.

    Feel free to point out any imperfections. I want the buyer to be aware if there are any problems and you guys are more knowledgeable then I when it comes to that.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Footprint Size 8-3/8" W x 12-1/2" D
    (21.27cm W x 31.75cm D)
    Enclosure Type Vented via floor-coupled Power Port

    Not as good as the RTi12s, but still a great speaker.

    Yes, I can give you an evaluation period. However, I do expect the 100 bucks up front and for them to be returned in the exact same condition as borrowed. So if you have pets or smoke, I would not recommend this.

    Please be aware, if something happens to the speaker or if they are blown during testing, I will not refund your money.

    You can pick them up, take a listen at my place and decide if you want the evaluation period. 3 day should be enough?

    Thanks!

    Hey Harry. These are possibly still available. I'm waiting to here back from one potential buyer. I had to wait until the beginning of the year, as I work for the company that does all of toysrus.com shipping and warehousing, so as you can imagine, life has been a little hectic for me.

    I told this particular individual I would touch base with him at the beginning of the year. I just sent him a pm yesterday, and as soon as I hear back from him, I will let you know.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    I have a pair of RT10s that I really like. I've also heard the RT16s which I thought were great so I'm sure the 12s would be a similar performer. Good luck with the sale. Great price too.
