I don't think the cost is that much between the 6s and 2s.

I think it was how I was talking and comparing things that the subject of RX6 didn't come up.

Instead of giving a long story it went kinda like:

1. I went in to buy the RS6 or 8
2. Was told that they have the RX's in
3. I was thinking I could get a good deal on the RS since the RX was in
4. Did a listen to the RS6 first and then the RX6 and was AMAZED
5. Did the same thing with the RS8 and RX8 and just astounded with the difference
6. In my mind there was no way I was going to get the RS, because I loved the RX8.
7. Was told to come back in a couple hours if I wanted to talk with some Monitor reps.
8. Went to another store and listen to some B&W (683, 686 and HTM61) I liked them and they were only $3.71 more
9. Came home started this thread and was kinda looking for some thoughts
10. went back and told the price of the B&W and they really went into the sales things
11. Talked about movie Vs. music and since I was more movie, I was sold on the RX2's
12. When I came back it was just comparing the Monitor line to that B&W line
13. I like the Silver better then the B&W's

It's possible I can move into the RX6 instead of the RX2, but I did like that 8inch


I guess I should be asking if I got an ok deal or not!
$2129 for a 7.0 speaker set from Monitor Audio
I did put a deposit down and will be getting them.
I will not be bringing them here to this apartment, I will ask how long can they hold them for me or take them to someone's house.

Heck of a deal!!! I was at around $2300 for my 5.0 setup.
