Product Description

From the Manufacturer
Why settle for vinyl speakers when you can have the warmth and beauty of real wood at the same price? RTi Series features real wood at vinyl prices.

Features

• Acoustically inert MDF cabinets, finished in Real Cherry Wood or Real Black Oak veneers.
• Dynamic Balance polymer composite driver for smooth wide-range response with low distortion.
• PowerPort® bass venting for superior clean, low distortion bass that you can really feel.
• Acoustic Resonance Control (ARC Port) technology for more natural midrange reproduction.
• 1" silk dome Dynamic Balance tweeter features a neodymium magnet for clear, detailed highs; heat-sinked for superior heat dissipation, power handling and reliability.
• PowerPort® vent doubles as a strong, built-in wall-mounting bracket for easy, safe placement.
• Butyl rubber surrounds for high performance durability.
• Acoustically inert stamped driver baskets.
• Floating anti-diffraction grilles minimize grille diffraction for spacious, 3-dimensional imaging.

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

By	Mark A. Wellman (Plaucheville, LA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great speakers for the price, February 15, 2007

By	Brian Brooks (Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been listening to these speakers for over a week and am highly pleased. My previous system was a sony stereo system 120 watts per channel. Not only do these speakers have better quality, but they are louder.

I don't normally write reviews for products that I purchase online, but I figured since I was so pleased I should share my experience. Definitely use good wires to hook these babies up or you wont exploit their full potential. The RTi's have good bass but I feel like I need to add a sub to feel lower frequencies. When I turn the bass up it's too straining on the speakers, hence a sub.

Can't wait to add a sub to this banging setup! No regrets!

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

By A Customer

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.
