Up for grabs is my entire HT 7 speaker setup

The whole system is priced at $900

I just decided to upgrade to a martin logan 7 speaker setup thats going to cost $8000 so I dont have room . I think when you add up what all the polks cost full retail it would add up to Between $2000 - $2200 . Polk rti's are great for movies but a little bright for most audiophiles

The rti6 perform amazing for 2 channel
The FXI3 are one of the finest examples of surround sound dutys for the money
The CSI5 performance gets great reviews from all who use it . Upgrading to a martin logan $1900 motif still makes me nervous in thinking I'm going to miss out on the attributes of the csi5
The RTI8 are monsters and perform better than my martin logan source in the dollar to performance ratio but are two worlds apart

    Nice set up.....good luck with the sale.

    BTW 8000 dollars is a lot of money for a farmboy (just joshing)...I could NEVER spend that kind of money. Hope your 'wife' likes you?

    The rti6... these make an awesome bookshelf system for the bedroom

    These can transform a crappy system into something special I think

    Where are you located? If close enough, I might be interested.

    Also, do you have the grills for the speakers? I ask, since I didn't see them in any pictures except for the RTi6's.

    Interested, can't send a PM though.

    Shipping or pickup only? I'm down in St. Louis, so pickup would be a bit hard.

    how tall are you stands for the FXIs? I've been looking at getting some for my FXI6's as wall placement on the one side is impossible.

    The fxi3 has a small chip on the middle corner of the left to one of the speaker so I will let them go cheaper than I normaly would

    I put a nick in csi5 thats not in the pic because it happened after took the pic so I just f'd myself up withat and will let it go cheap and I will update the pic

    I dont have the box for the csi5 and if you look on the pic uptop I have these rubber stoppers stuck on the bottom to stop it from messing with my tv stand

    Still want them now?

    It seems I'm being discriminated because of being a new member?
    Is it the CSi5 still available or is it sold already? If it is available, which is the price?

    If you came down my way I could give you a sweet deal but gas would cost about the same as shipping . I cant see these movin that fast because of shipping and they would go quicker with a local sale
