sir ang hirap magdecide di ba. hehe kasi parehas naman talaga maganda yan and they have almost the same price range. in short there is no right or wrong answer to your question.

but we can only provide comparison between the two to make your life easier, the polk audio speakers have 6 inches woofer, the anthony audio speakers have 8 inches woofer(slightly bigger),with additional woofer and tweeter at the back for a wider soundstage.

my observations are: yung polk audio set in general mas maganda konti sa music because of the clarity and details, yung anthony audio lamang naman slightly sa movies (maybe because of the extra speakers at the back of the left & right speakers and extra speakers at the sides of the center speakers). hence it has wider sound dispersion.pero i noticed may mga genre ng music na mas maganda yung anthony audio titus.

yung polk audio ideal sa small room and medium room, yung anthony audio titus gold set ideal sa medium sized room and large room.polk audio puwede isabit sa dingding(sound port in front), yung anthony audio hindi puwede and yung placement should have space at the back(sound port at the back).

if brand conscious, go for polk audio speakers because they are the safe choice because of the years these have been mass produced. if you are more adventurous and want high performance speakers,go with anthony audio titus gold because they are crafted by no other than master anthony himself.

as to resale value, mas mataas ang price ng polk audio speakers sa anthony audio because of the name(what the heck).as to extra service, may free delivery ang anthony audio and sa repairs,no problem kay sir anthony, basta dalhin mo lang sa kanya, he can repair it for very minimal cost. anyway matagal ang lifespan ng speakers, baka naka tatlong palit ka na ng av receiver, di pa sira ang speakers mo.

in addition, puwede ka magrequest ng piano black kay sir anthony or whatever color sa kanya(meron pa nga red noon), sa polk audio, walnut at charcoal black lang ang choice at depende pa kung ano color available dun sa audio store na bibilhan mo.

ang polk audio, readily available sa mga audio stores. ang anthony audio, usually oorder ka muna sa kanila for a few days lead time prior to delivery.pero kung gusto mo yung demo unit, puwede naman kunin sa anthony audio stores.anthony audio madalas may pa raffle ng speakers, polk audio never pa nagparaffle ng free speakers.

its better if you audition both, and let your ears decide kasi we have our own preferences on sound. what may be nice sound for me may not be nice to others. parang food, kanya kanya yan ng taste.

pero whatever you choose in the end, you are still correct because there is no right or wrong choice for this. :)

From Experience Onkyo + Polk might sound too aggressive in terms of pairing.
Aggressive as in you feel tired after a movie.
But if being in the scene is your taste that is a good pairing.

Onkyo + PSB one of the best match I have heard.

Go for the Polk Audio RTi setup. Polks has been in business for more then 40 years, they are the number 1 selling speaker brand in America.

Post by: Audio Excellence on Aug 07, 2015 at 01:05 PM
Come over to our showroom and we will demonstrate the Polk Audio RTi A3, CSi A6 and RTi A1.

You can let your ears decide.

maraming mag-susuggest pero yung tenga mo pa rin magdedecide.. anyhow kung listening room na na dun yung mga gusto mong amp plus RTi speaker mas maganda i-audie.

Title: Re: Speaker suggestion

have experienced both rti and titus. if you plan to play loud with a low/mid powered receiver get the polks. the titus' need a beefy amp to really sing.

Pwede naman sir yan.. What cooltoyz is saying baka lang medyo mahirapan si Onkyo if you want to drive it at high volume.. It all depends on how loud you play your contents and size of your room to fill it with sound..
Title: Re: Speaker suggestion

I'm sure that should be ok, choosing speakers is a matter of preference naman eh... kung narinig mo yan with your onkyo and you are satisfied and happy on how it sounds then go get it...

Post by: zram18 on Aug 08, 2015 at 12:06 PM
sir, dapat iconsider mo din yung matching ng receiver at speakers.

eto ang magandang match:
     Pioneer receiver + wharfedale speakers
     Yamaha receiver + wharfedale speakers
     Onkyo receiver + polk audio speakers
     Onkyo receiver + anthony audio speakers

pero:
     Onkyo receiver + wharfedale speakers = for me not a good match.pero tutunog pa rin naman.

Post by: remington on Aug 08, 2015 at 12:13 PM
meron ako dati onkyo tx sr506, wharfe diamond 9.5, 9dfs at 9cs ok naman medyo laid back nga lang ang center hindi masyado madinig ang dialogue kahit anong calibrate ang gawin ko mas malakas ang effects. nung nag palit ako ng yamaha rxv663 ayun ganda ng matching then pinalitan ko mga wharfe ng jbl speakers lalong ok na ok!.....just my 2 cents ;)

BTT:
Mission or B&W, you won't go wrong with either set. Both are easy to power and AVR friendly. I actually would put a vote on B&W because the center speaker is much better than Mission. But I really like the warm sound Mission brings.

HTIB yan sir right? iba ata impedance ng mga stock speakers niyan although looking at the specs, mukhang kaya naman ng amp section to run speakers on regular 4 to 8 ohms. Yun lang you would really need highly sensitive speakers to make it work. Probably Mission is the way to go.

Tanong ko lang kung ano ang best speaker unit para sa kanya. This will be for general usage (e.g. music listening, movie watching, videoke, etc..)

Thanks for your input.
