Thats what Tweeter's picture implies. They are giving a different model number, one that Polk doesn't use, but nonetheless if the picture is accurate, its one ridiculous deal.

Happy Thanksgiving!

    Okay, second attempt and I talked to Natalie, a good ol' American. She said she has had a ton of calls concerning this, anticipating me; "Are you calling about the Polks? Why yes Natalie, I am!

    So, I am getting three pairs. Not sure if I will keep them all for myself, or sell a couple of to members here. Wish me luck, I hope I don't get screwed over here.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    I tried calling them to see if they'll ship to Canada, but the guy said he couldn't take my order phone back tomorrow. If they won't ship to me, would someone want to grab me a pair and send them up north?

    EDIT: They ship to Canada, so I can fend for myself.

    Yeh , saw this early this morning and decided to give it shot and ordered a pair ; $188.55 was my total (w/tax) . My brother took the gamble too and ordered two pairs .

    The website shows a pic of the the RTi10's , but my brother has the actual flyer showing a pair of Monitor60's for $174.99 EACH (1/2 off Tweeters listed price). But the online price comes up as $174.99 a PAIR , and contiues with this price though out the whole online order process .

    Should be interesting to see what Tweeter does with any of these orders . I have a feeling that they will cancel these orders for some reason or another as there are TOO MANY mistakes made with the online ad .
    Iam tempted to order a second pair just to really see if I get lucky with either RTi's or Monitor's coming in the mail .

    *EDITED*

    If you look HERE at the online flyer too (and click on "CLOSE-UP VIEW" on the left side of web page) , you will notice that the flyer shows a pair of Monitor 60's verses the later picture of the RTi10's . All-in-all this whole thing should be VERY interesting to see what really transpires with anyones order .

    I'm pretty sure that (P) means pair. I wonder what their definition euro style speaker will be.

    Sounds right . I was considering the (P) may stand for Polk , as the model # is non discriptive of any real Polk model .

    Yeh that "euro style" discription is pretty wierd in itself .

    Good on all ya for jumping on these, with an extra helping for those willing to pass along a deal to a fellow member.

    Gonna print some info posted here and make a couple calls to the local B&M tweeters to see if they'll match the web price.

    IMO the RTi10's were one of the best values in the current line at their everyday price. As Sean said, a $180 the pair is just stoopid good...
    More later,

    I think $180 for a pair of RTi10 is a STEAL....


    Almost can't see what Tweeter does with my order, and a special thanks for the tip :)

    PS yes I got the confirmation email of order, It's like we all where at a Tweeters door opening special a day early.

    OK folks, just got off of the phone with a local Tweeter and here's the scoop...

    These are not RTi10's. These are are T90EB's... WTF are those? you ask...

    Per the Tweeter employee I spoke with these were a special order run Polk made for Tweeter.

    Driver compliment is simliar (he either would not or could not tell me if it was the same as the RTi10), but the cabinet is smaller and the finish is a vinyl laminate... no wood.

    Full Tweeter price for these was $350 a pair.

    So they may sound great, but they are not RTi10's, so you may want to get to a local Tweeter and check them out beofre you take delivery on two or four or ten pairs...

    And if you like them, same deal is at your B&M Tweeter, so you can pick up even more...
    More later,
    Tour...
