No RT25i offers came up here and it's dry on ebay.

Just curious, anyone have these old minmons?

I have a pair and have always been curious to see what they'd sound like all arounds

    Yeah, those are the ones. I was going to try and get 4 or 6 of those guys all around and give them a try. I originally bought them as rear surrounds in the early 90's and have never gotten rid of them because they're better than you'd think for small secondary systems. Anyway, when I couldn't find any a few weeks ago, I went back to the RM7500 system that I had stowed away. Them RM7500's have a way smoother mid-range, but the high end on those mini-mons is pretty good for theater applications.

    Kex,
    I took the minimons to our cabin this weekend and set them up with a CS300 (a center channel that is very close design to the CS245i). It's a good blend between these pieces. Enjoy! And you're absolutely right, those minimons will pretty much blow any little satellites away. I tried quite a few satellites for the WAF, and even she agreed that the minimons were far better sounding. I still have that cheesey "manual" too!
