I've gone through quite a lot of gear - some good, some not so good. But there are a few components I've had to sell and regret it, even though it had to be done. I just don't have the space to keep everything as I currently live in a 1750sq feet apartment (but we're into a house very soon). A couple of speakers that I wish I didn't have to sell are the Polk RT3000p and an old pair of Altec Lansing 846a Valencias. If any of you folks ever are looking on the used market for a 'sleeper' that doesn' have high-end recognition but offers outstanding performance for the money, consider the Polk RT3000p. These not-exactly-beautiful speakers were part of the RT5000p 5 channel system. I still have the CS/1000p center channel because I've yet to hear a better center channel speaker. This center has two powered subwoofers build in!! The F/X 1000 dipole rear speakers are magico also. The RT3000p is capable of throwing a simply massive soundstage, and generating loud volume levels without a hint of strain whatsoever. this probably has something to do with the fact that each speaker's bass module has a 300watt amp built in. The RT3000p is awesome most especially for HT and that what it primarily was designed for. I regret having had to sell them and sometimes miss the enormous soundstage that extends well outside the room bounderies, and the incredible bass power -sheesh!!

I miss my Altec Valencias. If you guys have never heard these driven by, say, an original MacIntosh 275, you would be knocked back in your seat by the staggering dynamics these babies are capable of. I wish I didn't have to sell them. Maybe one day, with more space I can pick up another pair....
