Why would you replace a set of RT55 with RT800 though? IMO, at best, that is a lateral move, if not an outright step back.
Thanks again- Greg

Oh, I see. Very valid reason. The RT55 does have tri-lam tweeters though.
I have a pair available. Unfortunately I have no boxes to ship in.
gshisme: How much are you looking for and what kind of shape are they in?
Thanks for your replies!

$275 picked up. Condition is 8/10. Just a couple light wear marks on the top side edges from moving them around.

I was thinking about my RT25s and somehow applied that to my 55's. Sorry, please accept my appoligy. I went and looked and was like...I'm a dork :-)
gshisme: I don't think I'm going to be in Jersey anytime soon, so I will defer to another CP member if they are interested.

If I'm not mistaken, your RT25 should also have tri-lams.
Also, if anyone is interested in gshisme's RT800i, I just wanted to say he is great to deal with and you can do so in the highest of confidence.
PS- those RT800i on ebay end in about 7 hours, and the price is currently at about $200. That would be a sweet price, even counting the shipping if you could swing them for around that.
Just beware of shipping those sucka's without the original packing. Especially when he states they will be "professionally" packaged. Hmmm...by whom? I wouldn't let anyone package my speakers besides myself. That extra care just is not there. And something that large, heavy and bulky tends to receive less care than a package that is easier to handle by the shippers.
Hope you grab a pair of 800i's. You won't regret it. They are everything the 55's are with a bit more bass extension.
And Marker, thanks for the kind words!
Greg
