4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Speakers, January 9, 2010
This review is from: Polk Audio RTI A9 Floorstanding Speaker (Single, Black) (Electronics)
The first thing I noticed in these speakers were their ability to produce midrange sounds effortlessly. This may be due to the driver configuration, but it works. But I'm not going to say the mid range just floats in the air like the high end speakers but does the job well. They need decent amount of power to sound at their best. I have a Denon 3805 (120x7) and feel its bit underpowered for these speakers as I have to push the volume way up for powerful sound to be produced, yet they sound great. In the shop they had these connected to a Denon Stereo amp (200x2) which drove these pretty well.

I used paradigm M9 as mains before (for 5 years) I got the polk and the paradigm were much easier to drive and their bass was more pronounced but clarity wise, polk wins hands down. Also I think the bass has better definition with Polk than the paradigm speakers which sounds bloated in comparison.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freaking awesome speakers-- but make sure you can handle them., December 3, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Polk Audio RTI A9 Floorstanding Speaker (Single, Black) (Electronics)
These speakers are freaking awesome-- IF you have the juice to power them -- and of course, only if you don't have close neighbors. I am using them with a Harman Kardon AVR-354 7x75W 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver ($482.88 from Amazon-- or $800+ from Best Buy) and they sound RIDICULOUSLY good-- you can hear EVERYTHING. I have them paired with a Polk Audio DSW PRO 500 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black), a Polk Audio CSI A6 Center Channel Speaker (Single, Black) and 4x FXiA3 surround speakers.

These speakers replaced a set of paradigm's that I was i love with from day one. After nearly 20 years it was finally time to upgrade my system and these polks didnt disappoint at all. They are driven by an Adcom GFA-5300 and sound wonderful at every level. I highly recommend them to anyone seking serious sound.
