Look what I found! - Blu-ray Forum

I was out Yard Sailing yesterday and came across what I believe is quite a steal! I found a pair of Sound Dynamics ( I believe they make Energy speakers) RTS-3 bookshelf speakers. Now normally I wouldn't get too excited since it was just a yard sale, but these puppies looked brand new, I couldn't believe it. They wanted 5 bucks a piece for them and being the cheap bastard that I am, I offered them 5 for both and the speakers are mine. After doing some research it turns out theses are pretty good speakers, even considered "high end" in their day! Retailing for $280 for the pair. I knew all this meant nothing unless they worked. When I got home I hooked them up in place of my Polk Monitor 50's, and I was blown away by the sound. Very crisp and very clean. Anyway I listed them on Ebay since Im pretty set for speakers at the time being. When I do go to replace my surrounds I personally want bipoles. If you or anyone you know might be interested, take a look:

Nope! $5 investment

"I offered them 5 for both and the speakers are mine"

Nick4Blu_81 · 08-09-2009, 03:21 PM

Thats correct, 5 dollars for the pair!

Nick4Blu_81 · 08-10-2009, 02:04 AM

Do you guys think that $120, including shipping for these is too much money to ask?

Nick4Blu_81 · 08-10-2009, 02:20 AM

I just wanna sell them as I dont need them. I lowered the price to 94.99. Maybe it will get some more looks.
