There certainly seems to be the sub on offer.

Just rang up and ordered a pair, was worried they might have run out.

The chap said they have had LOADS of interest, and have a massive pile of e-mails to get through.

If anyone is teetering, I suggest they act soon.

Many thanks to the OP!

They do have some RSW12's but only in Cherry.

Ordered my RS8s today and managed to source a matching oak centre elsewhere - all to go in my smallish tv room which is planned as a bloke's hideaway (don't tell the Mrs!!!). Very pleased and a great deal - thanks David.

Does anybody know anywhere that has any RS1s in oak? I've read a few reviews which don't rate the dedicated surrounds so thought I'd use some RS1s for surround duties.

sphinx_uk · 07-09-2009, 4:37 PM

got my order in the door today, had to go for RS8's in the end as they didnt have the RS6's in Oak... now to work out how to hide the extra £££'s spent from the boss lady

oh well guess i can get away without a sub for some time with these, just hope they arent too much for the room they are going in

Dav1dF · 11-09-2009, 8:39 AM

Just to let anybody who has placed orders, they have turned up this morning and will be leaving today for delivery on Monday.

Docta teef · 11-09-2009, 2:07 PM

Are there any more in stock?

Dav1dF · 11-09-2009, 2:19 PM

Which ones?!!

martx · 11-09-2009, 7:37 PM

Hi David,

Do you have two pairs of RS8's?, if so, what colours?

Thanks
Martin

Dav1dF · 12-09-2009, 8:42 AM

Hi Martin

I have to be careful about this becoming a sales thread (even though I didn't start it

), so I've PM'd you.

Regards
David

Lord-Jaffa · 14-09-2009, 12:24 PM

If you could let me know what colours you have left that would be great also!

Ditto!!!

Dav1dF · 15-09-2009, 3:35 PM

Because of reasons previously mentioned, PM's have been sent

*bobbymax* · 15-09-2009, 5:00 PM

Would the RS8's be wasted in a 15ft.6in x 9ft.6in solid floor/carpeted room?
Would I be better off with smaller speakers? Looking to get the Denon 2310.

2310 is a av amp. so u plan to get the surround and center?

if you take the RS8, then u not need the sub for your room size.

Yes, I will be having new centre and rears to match the RS8's, if I get them, and did wonder if a sub would be needed. So you've answered my question......thanks.
I love the look of the all the AM range, but have not been able to hear any of them yet.
