this has been a plan of mine. ngayon i can see it visually and i like it. one questin though, doesn't the rti bookshelves have their own mounting bracket?

Yes they do.. actually isasabit mo lang sya.. So you cant tilt or turn it.. Naka diretso lang sya pag yun ang ginamit mo.. Di katulad nyan na pwede mo i tilt and i turn left or right if in case gusto mo nakatapat sayo speakers..

[mikeer2002ph]

The RTiA1 / A3 has its own mounting bracket (Via the powerport plate - keyhole mount), but it requires you to mount it flush to the wall - ergo toe in / toe outs are no longer an option, unless you can find a 3rd party wall mount that can use the built in keyhole mount of the RTiA1 / A3.

Before upgrading to the LSi9s, I was using the RTiA3 and for a time it was wall mounted in my listening area. Bass got louder but retained spectacular imaging and sound staging.

I saw the technical and user's manual of the AM40 wall mount. It allows you to toe in / toe out the speakers and even angle them upward/downward. The caveat for this AM40 option is you 'possibly' mar the speaker surface - either 2 screws on the side or 3 screws at the bottom (bottom is preferred) are required to secure the speakers to the wall mount should you want to angle the speakers up or down.

If you dont want to use the screws, the AM40 is still a good option for toe-ins or toe outs, just dont angle them upwards/downwards (keep them level) to prevent the speakers from dropping to the floor.

good to know. this should free up some floor space for my 2 channel setup. hopefully ma free up naman ng konti ang expenses to go through this project. thanks bro

Here's a cut & paste from the guy that installed the setup above (Pinpoint AM40 with RTi A3):

They work - I used a pair of these for my RTiA3s:

I really did not want to put screws into the sides of the cabinets so I used a tip from a fellow Polkie here - Zip ties thru the rear power port and looped to the wall mount:




Very Secure.

[mikeer2002ph]

^ ingenious! that'll work!

[lncc63]

Call me paranoid but I would suggest a second set of cable ties for redundancy.  You can buy big cable ties at the mall hardware stores.

or perhaps some wire cable locks used to lock bags. just wrap it shrink wrap to avoid scratching things 

[Topper]

take note that the zip ties don't actually carry any of the weight of the speaker - the mount takes care of that. The zips just ensure they don't move. (so for that function - even the basic stuff is strong enough)

Stereophile reviewed the RTiA1 speakers for 2 channel music listening way earlier. Here is the link to that review

had a chance to listen to A7s at Listen Up.. all i can say is wow! sounded great even if it was just powered by an entry level pioneer integrated amp and cd player.

Bro here's a tip:  Do not audition the A9 even if your budget at this point in time cannot accommodate it.  I say this because the difference in SQ compared to the difference in cost will make you want to come up with the difference in cost.

hehe.. thanks for the tip.. actually, i was just killing time in the store while waiting for dinner. I just couldn't resist not hearing to the A7s as this is my only time to test them while im in manila. I was even surprised by the deep bass of the A3s as they were already properly broken in compared to what i have back at home. As of the moment, pass muna ako sa floorstander because i am just renting a pad.

Siguro kapag A9 narinig mo makakahanap ka nang paraan  .  In terms of floor footprint the A9 is not much bigger than the A7 if I remember correctly.

haha.. dapat di ko muna pakinggan ung A9. one time our land lady knocked on my door checking what was vibrating inside my room. Knowing that it was my A3s, I immediately lowered the volume before answering the door and acted as if i know nothing. lol..

I'll just smile hahahahahah

Anyway,the sound of the RTiA9s wont let me go ever since I heard it together with the LSi9s last September, now its haunting me for consideration as fronts for HT.

I wish I will have the space for it.

Pasensya na Bro ... actually paraniod lang talaga.  I was thinking more in case of an earthquake where a speaker jumps off its stand and the cable ties have to carry it.

I know the feeling very well.  Just ask the folks at MLY.  Between the time I auditioned the A3, A7, A9 and bought the A3, I probably came back at least once a month to make sure my "nightmares" of the A9 were true.  The nightmares stopped when I finally was able to buy the A9 .

[mikz023]

Which avr can suit to A9 needs? Will use for ht and music.

Onkyo 818
Yamaha 1020

planning to buy the a9 before the end of the year kc.

Either should work just fine. Buy the one you like better.

Should i consider an avr with higher wattage/channel?
