Gauging Interest on Two Pairs of Polk Rti70 Tower Speakers (4 total)

Hey Y’all...

I’m going to be switching up my living room setup, and when I do I will have 4 Polk Rti70 that I need to find a new home for. I have 2 sets (4 individual speakers) of RTi70s in excellent condition. I have the grilles for all 4, although when one of my kitties was a baby she liked to scratch at one set of them, so two would need new cloth. The grille cloth isn’t torn, it’s just picked at and not new looking. All of the drivers work perfectly, and they sound great! I’ve had them for about 11 years I think, they were my bedroom speakers at first, and then I moved them to the living room. Yes, I’ve been using them as matched fronts and rears in a 5.1 setup, and like I said, they sound really good! I’m not sure what Polk called the color, but it’s not that weird light oak color, it’s more like an espresso color, and they have real wood veneers so they look quite nice, especially if you have other furniture in a similar color.

I’d prefer not to ship for obvious reasons, but I’ll do my best to accommodate my fellow Polkies! If we do need to resort to shipping, I’ll pack them to survive doomsday, but I’d feel more comfortable shipping to a long time member or members in good standing. Despite this ridiculous new moniker of mine (hopefully it’s only temporary), I’ve been a Polk forum member for 15 years, so I know all of the “vets” here, and I just want to insure a nice, easy, drama free transaction. This isn’t meant to snub any newbies, and it’s just a preference; if you’re willing to assume the risk, I’ll be happy to sell them to you, just don’t have a meltdown if the UPS driver decides to take his big brown truck 4 wheeling off the side of the Grand Canyon, that’s all!

I’ll take some pics for you later today, but they’re pretty minty overall. I know one speaker does have a small crack on one back corner at the top, it’s purely cosmetic though, and that’s the only flaw that I know of. These are part of the “i” (improved) series, and so they have the dark blue woofers. Off the top of my head I think the frequency range is something along the lines of 28hz to 24khz but I’ll look it up and post full specs later. These have a soft dome tweeter, not the tri-lam, and I’ve found them to be a bit easier on the ears for extended listening. That said, they still pair well with a center that has the tri-lam tweeter, I have a CS400i that sounds great with them, and I’ve even paired them with a Martin Logan center and that sounded awesome, even with the ribbon tweeter!

I’m probably going to be getting these new speakers in about 2 weeks (paradigms if you’re curious), so I’d like to arrange to have these gone around the same time if possible. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask here so everyone can see the answers to hopefully avoid having to answer the same questions over and over. If you need to PM me that’s fine too, especially for $ related things, I’ll try to check my inbox a couple times a day.

I hope everyone is well, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
