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!

Re: Monitor Audio RS8 £425 Boxes New and others @ FRANK HARVEY

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.

Re: Monitor Audio RS8 £425 Boxes New and others @ FRANK HARVEY

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

Hi David,

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

Thanks

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.

Re: Monitor Audio RS8 £425 Boxes New and others @ FRANK HARVEY

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.

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.
