NEW Speakers! Getting a piar of bookshelves!

[TheDude]

I want a nice pair of bookshelves for a more studio-listening environment.

Again, I will be going with Polk just because I get crazy discounts.

If I can get a better speaker for the same price with my discounts, please let me know.


So I have basically 2 options I'm considering.

Starting again with the highest price.... (prices are all for pairs)

The RTi Series

The RTi A3 @ $140 (retail $400) - http://www.polkaudio.com/products/rtia3

1x1" tweeter - 2.8 KHz - 27 kHz
1x6.5" mid/woofer - 40Hz - 2.8 kHz

TSi series

The TSi200 @ $112 (retail $320) - http://www.polkaudio.com/products/tsi200

43-25kHz
1x1" tweeter
2x 5 1/4" Mid/woofer



And lastly, because I want to do music stuff with my speakers (using them sort of as monitors), I am wondering if it is better to choose between these 2 in the near future, or to save up and buy a pair of these, 1 at a time:

http://www.polkaudio.com/products/lsim703

LSi Bookshelf speakers. They have much better high end, with very nice tweeters. They have a woofer and midrange as well. However, they retail for $750 EACH ($1500 for the pair). I'd be able to get them for about $265 EACH ($530 for the pair)



So what's your input, guys?

I know Tito's dad builds speakers, so maybe tito can recommend here.

Also, are there any better deals out there? Can I get better sound for the same price?

My dad doesn't build them, he deals them, as in buying them cheap refurbishing reselling etc.
But once again, that is the EU market, and i doubt my dad knows about Polk.

I'll ask him though.

looks like we're going with the RTi A3's

Or does anyone know a good pair of monitors?

I am now torn between NOT getting a discount and saving up to buy a pair of nice, FLAT monitors (not literally flat), or just taking my discount and getting dank bookshelves for 130 bux a pair.
