that's a great buy especially if they are in mint condition. i owned a pair before

(polk RTi10 on the left) selling them for my current axioms and i sold them for more than twice what you are mentioning you got the guy down to. they are excellent speakers. i will tell you though, having the benifit of experience with them, to really drive them you will need an external amp to really open them up. don't get me wrong, a really good receiver will let you hear them but, if you want to both hear them and feel them (in a good way) and external amp is needed and recommended.

buy them whether you have an external amp or not. cause if not, later you can always add the external amp but those speakers at that price won't last.

best of luck, please keep us posted.

Umm great..Im running a brand new Onkyo 608..shouldnt 100W a channel be enough?.i got the guy down to 240.00 and a pair of my Polk 40's ..the seller is telling me he has only had them for a little less than a year..The thing is,i hate! buying used stuff.i always ask my-self,why are you selling it"so cheap" the seller said,hes plan on moving and wants to lightin his load..Sh*it,i just moved also,and all my stereo stuff went in the moving truck 1st..lol

[rick88]

The Onkyo 608 will drive those ok, but they really need a dedicated amp to sound their best.

Ok, i just installed the RTi10's...There in MINT condition!..got them for $240.00..The seller was a couple 60+in age,they never used them! got them from there son,but the lady said they didnt have any use for speakers this size...I couldnt beleive my eyes when i went and saw them..they where still in the box!.I took them out of the box and tested them out on there stereo..work perfect!

i told you those were good speakers (remember, i use to own them for years) I am very happy that it worked out for you. you got away with an incredible deal and you should consider yourself very lucky. it's rare when things like this work out not just right but in your favor. on the rare chance that something that seems to be too good is actually the truth. glad to see it worked out for ya. they sound great too, don't they!?!

keep us posted!

Fantastic find OP........what a great deal you got. Hard to believe that this wasn't too good to be true, and that you got these speakers in even better condition and for less money that you originally thought.

[Cmiller44]

man i was so happy.I couldnt beleive my luck.I thought for sure it was some 20 yr old kid,selling them so cheap for some drug money or something and they would be shot out RTi10s.lol.I also felted wrong for buying them for so cheap from the elderly women.i almost wanted to give her more cash..but i didnt..lol

So..i have these set @ "full range" on my Onkyo 608..but from reading on them in the polk forum,i should put them on small? and run a xover @ 80? and adjust the bass tone input? Im running Bi-amp on the RTi10 also..

[eclimax13]

[Cmiller44]

Great deal. Question, is that the Z-Line Designs Bentwood you have the tv on. If it is , could you tell me about how much weight you have on it. I just bought one for my 58" Panny. Manual has that it can hold 150 pounds. Would that be the stand plus the shelfs can hold the 150. Or that the bracket that holds the tv can hold the 150, and the shelf can hold additional weight. And finally once you got it all together, did it feel sturdy to you, no wobble. Sorry for the long question, but thanks for any info.

I have a Z-Line myself and its very sturdy. The specified weight was for the top shelf. I think mine was stated to be 150lbs. if I remember correctly, so you shouldn't have any issues. Look in my gallery and you'll see that I have mine pretty loaded and its solid as a rock.

Yea,the Z line is very sturdy,i love it!..it swivels with my Samsung PN50B550 Plasma with no problem...The Onkyo 608 ,BLU Player,cable box are very sturdy on the glass..
