I had the earlier version of your RT2000p - the RT20p. My son now owns them and they are still plugging along. I looked at the LSi25 when I was preparing to upgrade. This was when Tweeter was still in business. $1800/pr was the negotiated price. I did not hear an audible improvement from my RT20p - the bass was muddier in my opinion. I did approve of the WAF of the speaker though. I ended up getting the B&W N804 and still have them in my AV system. The Polk LSi25 are a good speaker for the price. We all have our price points and everyone should repsect that.
