I picked up the RC-10's for 200.00 and they utterly floored me. The tweeter is one of the best I have heard. I might have to jump on one of these before they disappear.

For $200, they are awesome speakers.

I actually think there a good bit better than that. In fact the original MSRP seemed quite fair to me. I think it was 550 or 600. However they hold their own if not better many monitors in the 800-1000 range.

I just meant that $200 is an awesome deal. They were a great buy at $300 a couple years ago... but the seemingly never ending supply Klipsch has funneled through Vann's has really pushed the street value down.

But it's still alot of speaker for $200.

The MSRP is probably fair, but with $600 to spend it's not hard to get a better speaker with the sales and closeouts that run. I'll never pay MSRP for a speaker, cause there are always deals to be found.

I agree completely. The past four years for me have been all about finding insane deals online. It's scary what can be found with a little persistence.
