Product Description
Why settle for vinyl speakers when you can have the warmth and beauty of real wood at the same price, with speakers from the new RTi A Series. They incorporate Polk Audio's latest Dynamic Balance Cone drivers and 1-inch tweeters, with an asymmetric cabinet design that's as beautiful for the way it controls resonance and increases cabinet rigidity as for the way it lends an elegant touch to any decor. The result is classic Polk performance in a design that speaks to today's high-end home decor. The RTi A1 features the latest generation of Dynamic Balance polymer composite drivers for smooth wide-range response with low distortion. PowerPort bass venting gives superior clean, low distortion bass that you can really feel. PowerPort vastly reduces "chuffing" or "port noise" and provides more powerful lower distortion bass than conventional designs. Butyl rubber surrounds for high performance durability /Acoustically inert stamped driver baskets Floating anti-diffraction grilles minimize grille diffraction for spacious, 3-dimensional imaging Driver Complement - Midrange - One 5-1/4 Diameter (13.34cm)Polymer Composite Dynamic Balance with rubber surround / Tweeter - One 1 Diameter (2.54cm) Silk Polymer Composite Dome Overall Frequency Response 50Hz-27kHz / Lower -3dB Limit 60Hz /Upper -3dB Limit 26kHz / Nominal Impedance 8 ohms Recommended Amplifier Power - 20-125 w/channel / Efficiency 89 dB / Inputs 5-way binding posts Cabinet Size (HxWxD) - 12 x 7-3/8 x 11-1/2 inches (30.48 x 18.73 x 29.21cm ) Enclosure Type - Vented with PowerPort and Arc Port Polk Audio Speaker Warranty - 5 years parts and labor (original purchaser)

Pold Audio RTI A1 December 1, 2008
Joe T. Hegarty (Orlando, Fl)
Ordered from Amazon and speakers arrived promptly as advertised. Did lots of shopping and Amazon price was very competitive to go with their very good communication on order information and shipping details. I'm using the speakers as rear surround and they really enhance our Home Entertainment system.

I've owned these speakers for about a month now. I am very happy with the sound and the finish. The bass is a little thin, but no more so than any other bookshelf speaker this size. I think these are a good value.
Great sound at a great price October 30, 2008

These speakers sound great and look really good, too. I can tell they are made of quality materials, as they feel very solid. The speakers are very clear and I love watching movies even more now. They provide adequate bass, and are very clear in the higher frequencies. Even my wife said that these sound much better than the JBL satellite speakers I was using. Polk Audio made a great, affordable product.

i have had these in just over a week and with the hours i have played them i would say that i am entering the break in stage. right out of the box they sounded a little bright, now they sound a little more laid back and smoother. most reviewers on here pair their speakers with a receiver and a sub. i would suggest that you use neither. in stereo i would suggest you use more superior hardware to get more from these gems,such as a good amp,a preamp and a good cd player,or turntable. now for my review.i listened to the polks well into the late hours of the night each night. as my preamp and amp got warmer the polks fell deeper into the sound stage as the sound stage got wider. i turned the lights off and i was conviced they were full range speakers.from the sometimes thunderous bottom end to realistic midband and the smooth highs.as the hours went on i plunged deeper into my cd collection,and the sound stopped comming from the speakers and were placed in locations in the air between and the outer edges the speakers. when i kept on looking at each speaker it did not appear that sound was comming from them. this has happened to me before on a larger scale with my legacy signatures (130lbs each beasts , a little over five feet tall and almost 4grand more).will downing's pleasures of the night (cd) is my usual reference cd for male voices and his voice came so close to me in that center stage i know i could have slapped him if i had reached out my hand. maxwell's cd embroya is my bottom end test cd and wow the gut they had was tremendous. i continued to listen to more cds from jazz to some classic rb and classical and they got better and better. i love'm. and by the way did i say they were a very good looking pair of speakers.
Beautiful aesthetics and unbelievable performance at a remarkable price June 14, 2008

I also own the previous generation RTi6 bookshelf speakers by Polk and was able to do a direct comparison. The 6s have larger drivers so their slight mid-bass advantage is to be expected, but in all other ways the RTi A1 is an improvement. The sound projects further outside of the cabinets, or rather the cabinets disappear and throw a great, wide sound-field outward. Instruments sound like they should, male voices aren't nasal or chesty, and the highs are soothing rather than sibilant and tinny (as the previous RTis could get under pressure). I have never heard a speaker this nice at a price this low.
