Went to Circuit City to buy an Onkyo SR600 today and was lamenting that my current system consisted of Polk CS245i and 4 RT25i's (and a SVS20-39CS+/Samson1000/ART-351), hence I couldn't find another RT25i to use as a rear surround. So then the guy tells me I can bring in all those speakers and get full store credit (i.e. what I paid for them) since they were purchased within the last year. Plus, since Polk has that "buy five speakers, get a free subwoofer" promotion, I could apply that amount toward another set of speakers. Plus, they had an open box CSi30 for $129.
Long story short: I took my 5 speakers in and walked out with the CSi30 and SIX RTi28's for $160!!! Haven't gotten the rear surround hooked up yet (because I've got to hire someone to run it through the attic and walls) and I didn't need but 5 of the RTi28's... but hey, I have a spare now and it was a cheap upgrade! The guy even knocked $100 off the price of the Onkyo SR600 for me!
Not sure if it's the new receiver or the new speakers, but I -REALLY- love the way music and movies sound on this setup. Everything is much more crisp and detailed in the high end and mid-bass is more defined. With the Glen Phillips DVD-A, I'm able to hear the individual bass notes much clearer. All in all, I'm really diggin' Circuit City right now.
