5.0 out of 5 stars Top Rate, March 27, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Polk Audio RTi4 High Performance Bookshelf/On-Wall Speakers (Pair, Black) (Electronics)

These speakers are top rate in sound quality! I use them for classical music and I find the mid to high frequencies to be excellent. As with all speakers this size, however, a subwoofer is necessary if you want the full range of bass to really rumble.

Compared to the sound quality of the mid-quality speakers from Polk Audio, the RTi4s are superior. Well worth the extra cost if you're a music lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Little Speaker, June 25, 2004

I have played these with a 50 watt/channel receiver and a 125 watt/channel preamp/power amp setup. The RTi4's sounded great with both. They have very good bass for the size. The music sounds very natural. I recommend these highly, and I am pretty picky.

I listened to these speakers at a store before buying them online. They don't quite have the full sound of a good floor standing speaker, but are very close in quality to my Infinity SM85s, which are excellent. Put a subwoofer with these and they are outstanding. If I had to, I could get by w/ out the woofer. I listened to quite a few bookshelf speakers and this was the best.
