Rti150 for Sale

[haimoc]

I just got a pair of Lsi15 from Emlyn (Thanks, Emlyn). Now, I have a pair of Rti150 (9/10, Black) for sale ($500) or trade with a pair of Lsi9 (Ebony). Local only. Germantown, Maryland.

ahh, so you're the bastard.. I pm'ed him about those 15's 5 months ago.

j/k hope you enjoy them

I'm local but you can't have my 9's. Good luck finding a pair, they're a nice speaker.

[haimoc]

:D

Yes, I am at the right time.. :D .. and enjoying the new speakers. I am thinking having a pair of surround Lsi9s to replace the current Fxi3s.. :)

[haimoc]

No interest in the old Rti speakers anymore.... :o

[gshisme]

Well I'm interested.....but someone is staring over my shoulder shaking her head side to side and looking like this :mad:

[dorokusai]

Haimoc - I live in Damascus, where you been hiding? I actually missed you by about 20 minutes that day....as I was enroute for a subwoofer swap.

[haimoc]

gshisme - I understand. Christmas is coming.. :o


dorokusai - are you the one who picked up the SUP from Emlyn? Great SUB.

[dorokusai]

Yes, we traded. I needed more, he needed less.

[haimoc]

I hope your neighbors don't complain.

[dorokusai]

I'm in a house, so what could they possibly say, haha. My neighbors are very nice actually.

My old neighbours called the cops the first time I watched LOTR:ROTK at reference with my new SVS PCU. I moved out shortly to another house. No complaints, so far but I did buy a house on a corner lot and the HT is facing the street. Things you have to do for great bass... :)

I have a pair of 150's for sale as well, local pickup from DFW. I was thinking of asking for $550 but I can't now, will depart for $500 or possibly trade for other AV stuff.

I had a hard time selling my Rti150. They went for $520 on audiogon and I was lucky enough somebody picked up locally. I had to wait about 2 months to sell this on audiogon
Better try your luck at audiogon or ebay. I had no luck selling the Rti150 on this forum.

[kingtut]

I agree w/malikarshad. The RT150 is big and heavy to ship, so it's hard to sell -- unless you can find a local buyer. Audiogon will give you more exposure. You might want to list it in your local newspaper also.

Man, I would LOVE to have these speakers. How would you say they sound? Is there a lot of bass to them with that many woofers?

[faster100]

These have alot of bass, i tried them and almost sold my 70's in place of these, then came to my senses... they lack mid range and are total overkill if you have a nice sub.. be pretty good as 2 channel speakers... w/ no sub.. they are very deep, very heavy, and hard to move./. i sold mine in the glory days of these things for around 800 or 850, via e-bay shipped to CA from fla... yeah the shipping was high too... he was happy and arrived safely... i was shocked Ups didnt destroy them.. But these look awesome!! without a doubt.. but need tons of power. I shut down a few amps with these...

[haimoc]

To my ears, they sounds pretty good.. Clear and bright. Driving with a Denon receiver, they sound warmer and better (Compared to Pioneer). Personally, I would say I like the sound of Rti150s better than the new Rti12s for musics. Compare to Rti12, they are bit warmer. Bass tends to be a bit weaker than the Rti12s. In general, bass from Rti speakers are somewhat "boxy" to me.

On the other hand, like others had said, the these speakers're power hungry. So, a reasonable good receiver or power amp would make them standing out and perform pretty well in a home theater setup.

This is just a personal opinion. Anyone has any different opinion or comment, please feel free to add. Thanks.

This is one of those speakers that I'm probably going to want for the old/cool looking/mega bass factor later on, once I get settled into a high-paying job and a mansion with 13 audio dedicated rooms......lol

So, if ya can hold on to 'em for me for about 20 years.....lol..........wonder if there'll be any left by then........


Though, I think these speakers would be well-suited to my needs; I don't have a sub, like bass, and like stereo. However, I don't think I have enough amplification, and I know I don't have enough floor space for another pair.


Good luck!

A local Polk fan is interested in the speakers and might go for them after the holiday (in mid January or so).

Currently, these speakers are still available. Anyone?

:cool:
