@All Polk Aficionados

It's great finding a thread re: the Polk RTI Series, since my family and I will be building our first HT.  I wanted to get some feedback on this particular setup. My main concern is specifically whether my AVR will be able to power this set of RTI speakers, without clipping or distortion.  Just want to make sure the AVR can sufficiently drive this set:

Denon 3311 (mainly for the pre-outs & video processing capabilities that I prefer over Onkyo's Faroudja)
RTI A3 - Mains
CSI A6 - Center
RTI A1 - Surrounds
SVS pc12nsd

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!




Sa tingin ko sir busog na busog sa power ang polk jan..  ;) kayang kaya po ng Denon yan kasi easy to drive po silang lahat.. :D

Yes, but I suggest you try them with the M20. Low current and/or low DF amps like these work better with the M models, imo.

I have the same setup too.
A3's, A6, then OWM's and Polk Sub.
For audio only I use Yaqin cd2 buffer and Topping 60 T-amp.. Soothing jazz sounds!
For movies I have Onkyo 509. (",) great wide sound

RTi A Series Speakers sound as great as they look! The perfect solution for a premium home theater or music system, these speakers will make you think you're in the movie or front row at the concert. RTi A speakers feature HUGE dynamic range- suitable for today's high resolution and high impact sources such as Blu-Ray, HDTV, SACD and HD Radio.

pwede na ang a3 because the sub can always compensate for the LFE.

You can remove those covers. Another way is to use terminal lugs available at AV stores.

Went there to check the LSiM series, only the bookshelves were there but they already sound  :o amazing! The Rti HT setup was superb also!
