edited January 2003 in Flea Market
Looking at putting together a 6.1 or 7.1 system in the near future. My current system consists of a CS245i and 4 RT25i's (mains and surrounds), so I'd really like to just add one or two RT25i's. Alas, no one sells them anymore. Anyone interested in selling, please e-mail me at reverendslim@bellsouth.net. If anyone just has one for sale (i.e. someone using it for 6.1 who has a spare), that'd be cool too.
Equipment list:
Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
Emotiva XPA-3 amp
Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
Epson 8500UB 1080p projector
Elite Screens Sable 120" CineWhite screen

    Well, the point is to keep the same timbre all the way around, and the i28's use a silk polymer composite tweeter while the 25i's use tri-laminate. Besides, I'm pretty happy with my front soundstage so I don't want to mess with it.

    Well, I no longer need the RT25i. Went to Circuit City to buy an Onkyo SR600 today and was lamenting that my current system consisted of Polk CS245i and 4 RT25i's (and a SVS20-39CS+/Samson1000/ART-351), hence I couldn't find another RT25i to use as a rear surround. So then the guy tells me I can bring in all those speakers and get full store credit (i.e. what I paid for them) since they were purchased within the last year. Plus, since Polk has that "buy five speakers, get a free subwoofer" promotion, I could apply that amount toward another set of speakers. Plus, they had an open box CSi30 for $129.

    Long story short: I took my 5 speakers in and walked out with the CSi30 and SIX RTi28's for $160!!! Haven't gotten the rear surround hooked up yet (because I've got to hire someone to run it through the attic and walls) and I didn't need but 5 of the RTi28's... but hey, I have a spare now and it was a cheap upgrade! The guy even knocked $100 off the price of the Onkyo SR600 for me!

    Not sure if it's the new receiver or the new speakers, but I -REALLY- love the way music and movies sound on this setup. Everything is much more crisp and detailed in the high end and mid-bass is more defined. With the Glen Phillips DVD-A, I'm able to hear the individual bass notes much clearer. All in all, I'm really diggin' Circuit City right now.

    Good call on upgrading to the RTi28's. I have a pair in the home office as a two channel set-up and just love 'em. I'm thinking of bringing a bunch of my stuff in to CC to do a similar upgrade.
    Enjoy.

    Athena: AS-F1 mains, AS-C1 center, AS-B1 surrounds, AS-P400 sub, Yammie RXV-730, Rotel RB-976 driving front stage, Samsung BD3600 Blue Ray, Denon DVD2900 for sacd/cd , jbl n24awII on the deck, samsung 40" 1080p lcd

    system 2:
    XBox 360 Spherex 5.1 system, HK DVD38, Phillips CDC 926 CD changer, Phillips 32" LCD

    2 channel
    NAD 1600 pre, NAD 2400 THX amp, Phillips CDC 926, Linn extra speaks, crappy TT

    Sid,

    Your setup is FINE, why mess with it. The outlay of cash required, IMO, would not justify the purchase.

    Jesus faster, buy the damn speaker. Let me go put a smily in the post to lighten the mood. Did everyone take a sensitive pill yesterday?

    It was meant very *lightly*, sorry it didn't come across that way.
