anybody heard the TSi400 in action?

If you want to check out the TSI400, drop by Acoustic Dimension in Rockwell or SGT Home Theater in Salcedo vill. They have stock of the TSI400 and will be happy to do an audition for you.

Try contacting Butch (813-8443 / 812-5235) of SGT Home theater as I believe they have a few instock.

(incidentally this is the exact same speaker model used during the recently concluded HiFi show that really made a believer out of many

If the LSi Series is available, this is the best of the latest Polk. LSi7, LSi9 (bookshelves) LSi15. and LSi25, their center and the FX/surround. All of them uses the best Vifa tweeter that are usually found on expensive speakers. Other than that, go Vintage if you can find it usually the SDA Series. I have numerous Polks and few Klipsch's and all are vintage except the LSi9. Although LSi9 is is bookshelf, you will be surprised for it is power hungry. This speaker is 4ohms and should be driven by high current amplifiers and should go to hours of break-in period to really appreciate the sound. I have mine driven by Outlaw RR2150 because this is one of the amps that is like built and a good match for LSi9. Be careful not to drive it with 8ohm amp or you amp gets fried. I stick with Polk audio since my first purchase (1988) of the Polk RT12 never failed to impress me. I have only one set of Klipsch Towers (1995) as a test to compare with my Polk but Klipsch did not impress me that much.

My Polks:
1 Pair of LSi9 Bookshelves
2 Pairs of SDA-CRS
1 Pair Monitor 4
1 Pair Monitor 10
1 Pair SDA 1C Studio Floorstander
1 Pair of RTA12
1 Pair of FX surrounds

My non-Polks are Klipsch, Haflers, Velodynes. So, if you go Polk, get the LSi Series since the rest I mentioned are vintages and are most sought-after models mostly available on eBay and they are not that cheap--and so are the LSi's. I have driven these Polks with several amps (Bryston, Outlaw, Onkyo, Acurus, Yamaha MX-1s, numerous Haflers, Phase Linear, Adcoms, and Nakamichi's) and never thought of switching to another brand of speaker. Besides, Polk has an excellent customer support for all their products, old or new.

Check out the new TSi Series from Polkaudio. Its now available in Sights and Sounds for audition.

Geren · « **Reply #99 on:** Dec 11, 2008 at 07:38 PM »

Recently bought a vintage CS 150 center speaker and a pair of 2nd FX 300i speaker. Ano kaya magandang match na floorstander?

Topper · « **Reply #100 on:** Dec 12, 2008 at 09:17 AM »

My suggestion - if possible, Talk to one of the stores to schedule an audition and bring your center speaker along with you. Try it out with some of the TSi and RTi line and see which gives your ears the most pleasing match

.

(that way - guaranteed big smile on your face when you bring em home after

)

I owned a Polk Monitor 30 paired it with my NAD C320BEE amp last 2004 and those mini monitors were very good.

Unfortunately due to upgrade reason, I sold it after a year and replaced with a new brand.

If I have an extra cash, I'm planning to buy one of their LSi or RTi standmounts pair.

Pls. will sombody PM me the local price of LSi7 and RTi A3. Thanks.

Guys what can u say about this speaker?

I auditioned the Polk Audio RTi28 Book Shelf yesterday at Spectra being driven by HK 2550. I dont know kung bulok ako sa pandinig pero ang ganda nya tumunog also with Polk Audio PSW350 50 watts continous average sub ang ganda rin, although 50 watts lang pero ang lakas at ang ganda nang bass sa music at movies, mas nagustuhan ko kesa sa JBL na sub (PB10 ata yun).

Also the build is very good, solid na solid yung kahoy nung Polk Audio compared to Mission and Wharfs..

Any way i just need ur opinions on these speakers, planning on upgrading my speakers eh.

Wow i almost forgot that i started a thread for Polk Audio like 7 years ago. Going back patay na patay talaga ako sa RTi28 that i auditioned at Spectra... I was really itching to upgrade my wharfs before but the upgrade never happened until this year.. wala lang.. kakatuwa lang he he he

Hi Polk users, anyone using OWM series for their surrounds? specifically yung OWM3. Eto kasi yung speakers na recommended nila kung ayaw mong magbutas sa wall. Gusto ko lang malaman kung kaya bang i-support ng wall hooks (with double-sided tape) yung weight ng OWM3. Thanks in advance!

Bro I think it's unsafe using just double sided tape. I've been using the OWM3 as my back surrounds and in my opinion hindi ito kaya ng double sided tape lang. Madali lang naman cya imount coz may kasamang template to properly position the screws...
Better to be safe than sorry

Akala ko naka ADP ka brader

Hindi kasi allowed magbutas sa wall dun sa flat na nirerent namin e. So i guess stand mount na lang ang option ko. Thanks!

it seems that wireless subs are in...paradigm PDR-W100, definitive technology supercube 4000 and supercube 6000. polk audio have their own, DSW PRO SERIES.. did anyone tried to audition this wireless subs? are they more better compared to the one with cables? some will say cables are better compared with wireles subs, if so what are the basis for this just incase. for me, i dont think they will create something that would be a failure in return. extensive research were done before they introduced it to the public.

12 and 10 inche subs

Stagea · « **Reply #116 on:** Nov 30, 2011 at 04:35 AM »

Directed Electronics own both Polk Audio and Definitive Tech, afaik. This is why they sometimes share technologies.

As for wireless subs (and wireless speakers), they work for the far majority of homes, but can sometimes get flaky connections in noisy/wireless-congested environments (like condos and commercial buildings) that cause dropouts, range problems and/or sync issues.

lncc63 · « **Reply #117 on:** Nov 30, 2011 at 04:46 AM »

In terms of SQ, I choose the Polk Audio DSW660 from a selection of subs costing P30k or less. It was actually the most expensive but the difference was more than justified IMHO.

I thought of buying the wireless module but in the end decided against it though mostly because the cost did not justify the convenience.
