Ways to pass time while waiting for new speakers?

[fireshoes]

I'm dying here guys. I'm in between Polks right now and life is suck. Let me put it in perspective for you.....Are you sitting down?.........This is bad.............I'm using 2 large Cerwin-Vega bookshelf speakers right now.

*sigh*

What's a guy to do?

So what is the new gear going to be?

Going to revisit the RTi line. I've been listening to more rock and I like the more lively sound the RTi's provide. So I'm picking up the RTi12's, a CSi5, FXi5's, RTi6's, and a second PSW505. (I traded my 650 for a 505 a couple weeks ago) I ordered the speaker directly from Polk for my employee discount so I have to wait for the order to be processed and then shipped.

The other thing is that I'm moving to St. Louis at the end of August so I don't know if I'll even crack them open until after I move. On the one hand, they'd be safe and sound in their factory packing, but on the other hand, hey it's a new pair of RTi12's!

What AMP you'll be using with your RTi12's? You'll need lot of power to feed those suckers. I'd say get RTi8 and 2 subs instead.

Anyways congrats on your purchase!

Oh I've got an amp in mind....one of the Monster three-channel amps. Should be just what the doctor ordered for the 12's. And I'm going to have two 505's already. Or did you mean two more? lol

Why would you drop down to the 505 from the 650 when the LSiW is supposed to spank both of them?

[fireshoes]

The 505's will match the RTi finish and I think two 505's will outperform the LSiW (not that I've heard it).

When new gear is on its way...

I reckon UPS/FedEx/USPS.com gets about 1,000 more hits than normal ;)

Well Metallica's St. Anger sounds like crap on any system, so I guess it counts hehe.
