I've got a real good friend that's got a pair of "minty" RT10 speakers in what looks like a walnut finish. They also look like a wood veneer.
He's in a hurt for money and asked me IF I was interested in buying them.
I trying to downsize myself and don't need them but I told him I'd ask around and see what they're worth and IF there's any interest in them.
I listened to them and they seem to work excellent and sound as good as they look.
Any idea of the value of these and what are they best suited for?
Thanks

    even if thats 100 each price, Ive never seen Rti12s sell for that. I would expect to pay 4-600 for minty cherry Rti10s. They're great speakers, so if he offers them to you for a good price i would snatch em up

    Yes...they were RT12s...I had the same thing happen in my for sale thread. I had tons of people that wanted them...then realized that they were the RT series and not the RTi. Oh well.
