As the title says, should I buy a pair of brand new RTi4's for $170 canadian, roughly $150 US for the pair? At that price is it worth it just to pick them up even if I don't really need them? lol. Help me out guys:)

    does it include shipping? It's not a bad price for a new pair. but what are you going to use them for?

    It's $170 to my door from Futureshop.ca

    I don't really have a use for them, probably replace my Paradigm Micro V.3's as rear surronds. I don't think it would be much of an upgrade, but for the price I'm wondering if it's worthwhile or not...

    Must fight the urge to buy audio equipment. lol

    Buy them you will love them. I really like mine and wish that I wouldn't have sold my other set a while back. They make great surround speakers and yes that is a good price IMO so if the cash is burning put it out and buy them.

    Thanks for asking the same question I was about to post Glemay. Just bought mine from FS as well during the boxing day sale. Sounds like we made a good choice.

    I doubt you'll notice much improvement (should be a tiny improvement to surrounds). However if you succumb to your desire to upgrade (maybe "to change" is a better verb here) and can sell your paradigm, why the hell not :D

    Pair of BNib Rti4's on Philly craigslist for 50 bucks in cherry. I emailed the seller and said I would take them asap, left my number and email with no response yet. I dont even need them but for 50 bucks!!!!! I hate the people who do not monitor their CL posts.
    Wish me luck....

    Now at that price, you just can't say no. Too bad someone else picked them up first. There's always another deal.:)
