AV shop is in QC, you need to send a PM to AVshop to make an appointment. Sights and Sounds in Shangrila has the Polkaudio sub woofers, TSi series, RM705 and the Surroundbar. Sights and Sounds does not have stock of the RTi series at this point in time.

thank you bradder. nalito na ko. lol.

heard the rti A7 at avshop's store. these are excellent speakers. very detailed for a floorstander (with 2 bass drivers at that). its a bit pricey though (in the league of Paradigm monitor and B&W 600 series floorstanders in terms of pricing). between these speakers i'd go for the rtis but that's just me.

THIS IS A REVIEW OF A CUSTOMER WHO BOUGHT THE POLK AUDIO RTI SERIES FROM AMAZON.COM IN THE STATES:
I had done a lot of reasearch on speakers before I bought these. I just love them. The imaging on them is phenomenal! It seems like sound is coming from the center channel it's so good. Music sounds better than ever, I'm hearing things in songs I never knew were there. Right in front of the stage. These speakers are made from real wood and are very heavy. Very good quality speakers. You won't be dissapointed.
CHECK OUT THE POLK AUDIO RTi SERIES AT THE FOLLOWING STORES:
- SIGHTS AND SOUND IN SHANGRILA MALL
- ARCHITECTURAL AUDIO IN GREENBELT ONE
- SGT HOME THEATER IN SALCEDO VILL.

Ask Sights and Sounds to audition the following:

Check out the Polk Audio RTi A7 floorstanding speakers on display at Architectural Audio in Greenbelt 1. (tel 8116715) Price is less then P50,000 for a pair.
(http://www.polkaudio.com/images/home/large/black/rtia7.jpg)
Ask for a demo. Do note the details of the RTi A7:
The cabinets are specially made for both great looks and sound. The real wood finish is available in black or cherry, matching your furniture and room décor. A curved, teardrop, asymmetric shape adds strength as it avoids the typical "box" look of many other home loudspeakers.
(http://www.polkaudio.com/images/site/rtia/rtitop.jpg)
Like all high quality Polk speakers, the silk dome tweeters and bicarbonate drivers in all RTi A series speakers are both Dynamic Balance and Klippel Optimized. Klippel Optimization ensures the speaker will perform well at both low and high volumes levels.
Dynamic Balance allows us to see the operation of the components on a microscopic level using lasers to reduce or eliminate artifacts that color the sound.
So what do all these features do? When added up, they bring you a gorgeous looking speaker that sounds spectacular everyone in your household will enjoy.
RTi A speakers have Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate Isolation (DAHLI) cabinet design for clean, accurate sound. The asymmetric design is made from a 6-layer laminate with 5 viscous layers to create the optimal shear damping (OSD) system and one real wood top layer for a beautiful finish.
(http://www.polkaudio.com/images/site/rtia/dahli_laminate.jpg)
The process was specifically developed for Polk. Their elegant styling aside, creating curved cabinets not only results in a stronger, more rigid and acoustically inert enclosure, but the curved walls also produce less audible coloration from panel resonances.
High-quality, Gold plated 5-way Binding Post Inputs ensure snug connections every time. Tower and bookshelf models feature bi-wire and bi-amplification capability. We don't use cheap spring clips or plastic terminals with RTi A series speakers!
(http://www.polkaudio.com/images/site/rtia/rtia-back.jpg)
RTi A series you can piece together your matching set, whether it's a basic 2 channel system to a full blown 7.1 configuration. Choose your own components, work with your dealer, or pick one of our prepackaged systems. Best of all, if you want in-wall or in-ceiling surround speakers, our TCi in-wall and in-ceiling series are voice matched to give you the best of both worlds for a really slick installation!

Maganda yung RTi A7. I prefer its output quality and construction over the B&W 683. It has more scale in the sound without being boomy.

Hmmh... the A1 sounds bigger to me, and reveals finer details. They're both great at their respective price points though. You may also want to check out the A3. :)

they have almost the same price bracket outside philippines so im wondering which one is better. bookshelves din ba yung a3? heard the floorstander of polk rti and im not impress.

The amazing RTi A9:

http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/rtia/index.php?s=rtia9
The Polk Audio RTi A9 will be on demo at the Polk Audio room of the Hi Fi Show in the Mandarin room on Nov 7 & 8.
-
they have almost the same price bracket outside philippines so im wondering which one is better. bookshelves din ba yung a3? heard the floorstander of polk rti and im not impress.
I guess it really boils down to personal preference. I have many 9 series wharfes (9.3, 9.4, 9.6 and 9.cm), yet so far I prefer the A7 over any of them.
-
oooops i may be misunderstood here, never heard a diamond 9 floorstander. i just heard the polk rti fs ( i don't know which model ) and not impressed (but that is just me and im not saying its not good) hence im asking which of the two bookshelves ( 9.1 and the rti a1 ) is better.
thanks.
-
Sorry for the confusion. I haven't had extended listening time with either set (RTi A1 or Diamond 9.1) so I can't say how it sounds with different genres, but I've heard them both long enough to form an opinion.
I guess it also depends on the partnering equipment. I wasn't impressed with the A1 hooked up to an HK receiver (and later an entry level Marantz receiver)... I found it a bit forward and sizzly for my taste. With the Carat A57 and a Denon CDP (forgot which model), it gained the warmth and body that I was looking for, while retaining the crispness in the mids and air that I thought was lacking in the Diamond 9 series. Of course iba iba rin tayo ng listening preference. I appreciate the insight and pinpoint imaging of these smaller bookshelves, but I really prefer the fuller sound and presence of towers (unless we're talking higher end bookshelves).
-
oh, so its the rti A1.
thanks a lot.

Tnx.
The TSi300 and the RTiA3 are about the same price, less then P20,000 for a pair. The TSi300 are entry level floorstanding speakers and the TSi series is the entry level series from Polk Audio. While the RTi A3 is the higher model bookshelf speakers (RTiA1 is the lower model) and RTi is a higher end series from Polk Audio.
The TSi is great for movies and music and is a prefect entry level value system for first time Home theater buyers, but if you have a little more cash, go for the RTi series, its got a more detailed sound. Check out www.polkaudio.com for details

Magandang usapan yan. Maganda talaga tumunog ang LSi.
-
Magandang usapan yan. Maganda talaga tumunog ang LSi.
Yes! i'am very much agree,lsi sounds great.I have a pair of lsi7 and they sounds so clear,warm and crisp with my onkyo receiver.They sing effortless(coz my onkyo is just an entry level ;D), even in the high volume the naturalness and smoothness of these speakers are always there.I have a 3.1 set-up,i'am using sony ss-cn107 as center speaker and a generic sub.I'm more on audio,that is the reason why i choose lsi7 as my main speaker even it's expensive but sulit nman s tunog :).
-
A nice hifi amp will make them sing so sweetly. :)
LSiC, LSiFX and DSW Pro na if you plan to maintain it sa HT system. :P

If i will buy, all these i need a 100k+++ budget :'(, so i plan to buy sana ng csi3 for the center and tsi 100 for the surround ng polk (kung my magbebenta sana ng second hand ng lsic in a reasonable price :)).they said it's not timber match,maybe for the 3 main speakers but for the surround. i think kahit n entry level lng. i've already auditioned csi 3 in ht paired in Rti7,and also sounds great, very good in vocals.and base on what i've heard, there is slight difference on high and mid based on my experience listening to my lsi7.for me "pwede na" ang cis3 for the center, b"coz if u compared it to lsic in terms of price its far.In ht you will never notice the slight difference unlike s music. even i will complete my system i love stereo when listening music rather than 5.1 or 7.1.

Check out the Polk Audio RTi A3 & CSi A6 in cherry:
(http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ImageHandler/scale/600/600/products/2008/group/h107CSiA4C-o_insta.jpeg)
The RTi A3 sports a newly designed asymmetric cabinet that helps deliver rich, clear sound by combating vibration and increasing rigidity. You'll enjoy remarkably clean mids and highs for a well-defined soundstage, along with tight bass. Plus, the cabinet's curved edges give the speaker a polished look, enhanced by a real wood veneer finish.
The RTi A3s do a great job with stereo music on their own, but you can team them with a powered subwoofer for even better bass. Or use two pairs as your home theater's front and surround speakers for dynamic, detailed movie sound. For larger rooms, the RTi A3s work perfectly as surrounds in combination with RTi tower front speakers.

POLK RTI is the best bang for buck speakers. lalo for audio junkie on a tight budget like me :)
good imaging. it places the instrument and vocal correctly. and its not even that hard to drive :)
before investing on the next preferred brand / model. You guys should give this speaker a chance. Sa Sound Quality lalaban ito. its a bit bright on the tweeter pero generally neutral sounding. Easily my second choice over B&W 685

how much kaya lsi9? ;D , ano kaya mas mura pashipping or local purchase hmmm curious lang

check out a review from customers who bought the Polk Audio RTi series from AMAZON:
Customer review # 1
These are some really wonderful speakers. I auditioned literally dozens of speakers from Polk, Klipsh, Energy, B&O etc. Some of the ones I tested were 10 times the price of these Polks and even excluding price considerations, these were the best I heard (I even enjoyed them more than the more expensive Polk LSi Series).
In the past, I would have said that I prefer loudspeakers with a more rounded, mellow, laid-back sound as opposed to ones that are a bit more forward and precise, but the RTi A7s changed my mind. They are not at all harsh or bright, and while they are very precise, they're not at all fatiguing to the ear. To my ear, these speakers offer a fantastic listening experience for both music and home theatre. And, while you're not buying speakers to look at them, you'll be happy with the real wood finish and superb craftsmanship of the cabinets as well.
Of course, sound quality is somewhat subjective, so you should listen for yourself if you can. However, there's a good reason why these speakers are sold out and back-ordered all across the country: they're really that good. If you can actually get your hands on them, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Just for reference: I use these about 70/30 for music/TV. I have an Onkyo 876 powering these speakers and have them paired with the Polk MicroPro 1000 Sub, Polk CSi A4 Center and a set of Polk RTi A3s for the surrounds. You don't have to source all your speakers from one manufacturer or series, but the Polks are all "timbre-matched" to ensure seamless sound. (Speakers have "accents" and in some cases--particularly with the fronts and the center channel--mix-and-match speakers can sound harsh). Hope this is helpful.
Review # 2
I got these on a different website, but I cannot sing their praises enough. They, as stated in other reviews, are 42" tall and weigh around 60lbs. I got the cherry ones and my wife couldn't be happier. The all black bachelor pad look just isn't for us, but these nice warm cherry speakers are beautiful.
As with all speakers, they get better with age. That is true for these more than any others I have heard. They start out a bit harsh, so much so that I almost regretted my purchase. Then one day, about a month after purchasing them, I turned on my Denon AVR 890 and something magical happened. The sound was full and warm. I thought my wife had changed some equalizer settings, so I checked...everything was the same. Each and every day that I use these (along with my Denon AVR 890, CSi A6, and RTi A3 surrounds, and PSW 125) whether for movies, music, video games, or whatever, I am overjoyed.
One final thing, and I'm not sure if any other reviewers have discussed this: These are built for two channel audio primarily. There is no reason to spend this kind of money if you just want two fronts for your 5.1 surround sound. The volume and sound quality for 5.1 should be approximately equal across all channels. If 5.1 sound is your game, get the most expensive center channel you can afford (for dialog) and get 4 matching bookshelves for the other channels.
If you want a sound system that can do 2 channel audio as well as 5 channel video, these are the speakers for you.
One final note on the Polk RTi system: If you calibrate it correctly and want GOOD sound (not just boomy bass), your living room will sound better than 90% of movie theaters. IMAX is a different story and some really high end theaters callibrate correctly, but the vast majority think that more bass means higher quality. Get a good HT setup, a PS3 Blu-ray player, and you'll never have to pay $10 for crappy sound again. Consider it an investment.

These are some really wonderful speakers. I auditioned literally dozens of speakers from Polk, Klipsh, Energy, B&O etc. Some of the ones I tested were 10 times the price of these Polks and even excluding price considerations, these were the best I heard (I even enjoyed them more than the more expensive Polk LSi Series).
im not sure if the customer is referring to the fs or bs of lsi series, all reviews of lsi9 are positive (best sounding speaker for its price) hmmm
-
The LSi is the top of the range speakers from Polk. Do note the suggested retail prices:
LSi 15 floorstanding speakers – P84,990 a pair
- LSi F/X Surround Speakers – P52,990 a pair
- LSi 9 bookshelf speakers – P52,990 a pair
- LSI 7 bookshelf speakers – P42,490 a pair
- LSi C center speaker – 32,390 each
Most shops that carry Polk Audio can probably give you a good package price. Do note that LSi is 3 ohms as compared to RTi which is 8. So you need a more powerful receiver/ amplifier to drive the LSi.
I am using LSi in wall and in ceiling in my house and it sounds fantastic.

The LSi speakers are really good. :) I'm sure it applies to both bookshelf and tower variants.
You just need enough current to drive them well (not so hard with high power SS gear these days).

Hey guys, this is my first post on PDVD. I've been creeping around here whenever I needed a good source of info,but now I need your expert advise for me to have excellent speaker for my HT. (HT80% / Music 20%)
I'm looking at buying a new set of 5.1 speaker. I preferred floor standing for the main speaker that will be married soon to my Marantz AV receiver. I'm considering Polk Audio RTiA9 for the front but for the price range, it almost the same with B&W 683. Both are excellent speaker hence, hard for me to deside. If looks will be the basis, I'll go with RTiA9 but of course performance will be a big factor to consider.
Much appreciated if you could share you expert opinion.
Btw,I dont have ddcated room for my HT for now. HT will be setup in our living room with open area to dinning.
-
but i think the A9 has more drivers than the 683 right? :)
still it is better that you be one to decide for it via audtion :) good luck

If you feel the Polk Audio RTi A9 to be out of your budget, why don't you consider the RTi A7, its less then P50,000 for a pair.
-
my budget is around 100K for the set of 5 speaker. I like RTiA9 design compared with B&W 683 but big consideration is the performance. I know you can't go wrong in both speakers but of course one should stand out.

Come by the shop and compare the Rti a7 and B&w 683 so you'll be able to hear the differences between the two. :)

Suggest you go for the following:
- RTi A9 floorstanding
- CSi A6 Center
- RTi A1 bookshelfs
you should probably get everything for a little more then P100,000
If you need a sub, I suggest you consider the incredible DSW Micro pro 4000 or 3000 or the good value DSW Pro 600 or 500

@ Sanjay: Pls. let me know the package price ;) Btw, Rti is made in china?

A few Polk RTi A1 reviews:
(http://www.soundstage.com/images_200810/logo_main.jpg)
"The Polk RTi A1 offers an impressively wide soundstage filled with convincingly solid bass performance, tremendous dynamics, well-focused voices, and a clean, detailed top end. If you’re in the market for a speaker package that offers you a huge bang for your buck, I highly recommend auditioning a pair."

"Conclusion
I loved the Polk RTi A1. Right out of the box, it delivered a huge impression of quality, value, and performance way beyond its price point. It's put together wonderfully and delivers very attractive, engaging, and dynamic sonic performance. It even will likely appeal to buyers with higher budgets, and who doesn't need to save a few bucks these days. This is one of Polk's best offerings in many years and comes with an enthusiastic endorsement from HomeTheaterReview.com."

Nice product Topper. The RTi speakers are very lovely indeed. :) Great bang/buck.
I hope more people can hear the LSi speakers though. Those are truly enamoring. :)

Nice. :) I've been telling people about this line, but the majority are not aware of the capability of this series.
The LSi has that refinement that aligns it with speakers in a higher price bracket.

New line?

New line?
Same stuff but should be more easily accessible :)

For every purchase of a 5.1 Polk audio RTi set with subwoofer, get a free Polk Audio MiDock Studio Ipod speaker dock. Polk Audio speakers are available in most reputable A/V shops.

Sir, I agree. I actually auditioned the lsi7 and the B&W 705 side by side, but I've heard just a slight difference in high."Nautilus vs the Ring Radiator",the 705 is a bit clear in highs, but in midrange/bass they are just tied.Overall winner is lsi7 because of its price against 705 that almost twice.

I just wonder, bakit walang thread ang Polkaudio lsi series.Ang gandang tumunog nito. :) :)

Check out the review in "HIFI-REVIEWS.COM"- This floor standing speaker cost less then P50,000 and is available at all reputable AV shops that sell Polk Audio.
http://hifi-reviews.com/2009/07/polk-audio-rti-a7-floorstanding-speakers-review/
Polk Audio RTI A7 Floorstanding Speakers Review
We’re not given to using unnecessary superlatives on hifi-reviews.com but in the case of the Polk Audio RTI A7 series speakers we’ll make an exception. Before I get down to brass tacks and share the technical ins and outs of the RTI A7s let me just say that these are some of best, most well rounded, warmest and all round kick ass floor standing speakers I’ve ever head the pleasure to listen to.
(http://hifi-reviews.com/images/speakers/PolkAudio_RTI-A7_black.jpg)
Sound
From the very moment we plugged these in we found them to have extremely accurate reproduction with a great warm sound, the RTI A7s have great stereo field imaging and as near to zero distortion as I’ve heard on systems in this price bracket (and to be honest in speakers a lot more expensive that shall remain nameless). We also found that as we continued to test these and they had a chance to “break in” they began to sound even warmer.
Build & Appearance
The RTI A7s have a nice heft a solid look the curved edges and real wood veneer give them a good modern sculpted look without making them look out of place in an every day rec room or study. The A7s are available in both black and cherry woood finishes.
Conclusions
We were beyond impressed with these speakers, they are incredible value for money and if you have the means I highly recommend picking up a pair. You will not be disappointed.
Manufacturers Specifications
A high-tech approach to accurate sound
This speaker’s carefully designed drivers undergo laser testing to help identify and eliminate resonance points, ensuring smooth, accurate response. Its asymmetric cabinet helps it deliver rich, clear sound by combating vibration and increasing rigidity. Polk’s exclusive PowerPort® technology reduces noisy air turbulence and increases low-frequency output. You’ll enjoy clear highs, rich bass, and open, natural-sounding midrange.
Additional high-end features
Two sets of gold-plated five-way binding posts let you biamp or biwire the RTi A7 for the best possible sound. An anti-diffraction grille helps it deliver a large, three-dimensional soundstage with pinpoint-accurate stereo imaging. Adjustable spikes provide stability on both carpeted and hardwood floors.
Dynamic Balance: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion.
Polymer Composite Woofers: The speaker features two 7″ polymer composite woofers. Two 7″ woofers have the surface area of a single large woofer with the low mass and acceleration of small woofers, resulting in tighter, more accurate bass response. Each woofer uses a butyl rubber surround.
Polymer Composite Midranges: The speaker has one 6-1/2″ polymer composite midranges for smooth wide-range response with low distortion. For high performance durability, the midrange uses a butyl rubber surround.
Silk/Polymer Tweeter: The speaker has a single 1″ silk/polymer dome tweeter that provides clear, detailed highs. The tweeter features mylar bypass capacitors in the crossovers to extend high frequency response and improve detail and transparency. The tweeter also features low viscosity ferro-fluid cooling with a heat sink on the Neodymium magnet for superior heat dissipation, power handling and reliability.
Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate (DAHLI) Cabinet Design: All-MDF construction with massive asymmetric cabinet bracing ensures a resonance-free enclosure for accurate sound. The asymmetric design is made from a 6-layer laminate with 5 viscous layers to create the optimal shear damping (OSD) system. The elegant styling aside, curved cabinets not only result in a stronger, more rigid and acoustically inert enclosure, but the curved walls also produce less audible coloration from panel resonances.
Power Port Venting System: The speaker has a rear-firing Power Port venting system built into its back plate for precise deep bass response. This venting system allows air velocity to slow gradually, vastly reducing air turbulence, and delivering greater bass efficiency than conventional ports.
(http://hifi-reviews.com/images/speakers/PolkAudio_RTI-A7_cherry.jpg)
Acoustic Resonance Control (ARC): Internal cabinet resonance can impart a “thick” character to voices. Polk’s patented Acoustic Resonance Control port system overcomes this problem. In addition to the Power Port venting system, the speaker has a front-firing port that is tuned to suppress the internal cabinet resonance, resulting in smooth, natural midrange reproduction.
Anti-Diffraction Grilles: The floating anti-diffraction grilles minimize grille diffraction for spacious, 3-dimensional imaging.
Dual 5-Way Binding Posts: The speaker has two sets of gold-plated 5-way binding posts connected by gold-plated jumpers. Using the dual 5-way binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers.
Magnetically Shielded: The speakers are magnetically shielded, allowing you to place them near your television without distorting the picture.
Frequency Response: The overall frequency response is 20Hz-27kHz and the -3dB frequency response is 35-26kHz.
Adjustable Leveling Spike Feet: The adjustable leveling spike feet that can be screwed onto the bottom of the speaker’s attached base provide stability on any type of flooring. The spike feet adds approximately 0.875″ to the speaker’s overall height when screwed all the way in.
Dimensions: The main body of the speaker is 8.6875″ wide but the speakers attached feet extend beyond each side of the speaker, giving the speaker and overall width of 10.6875″.

Got a Pair of the Polk RTi A3s yesterday
Let's just say that finally, I got an upgrade from my AE Evo 1s
For an american speaker, lets just say its a 'paradigm shift' in thinking.

So humbling of you Stagea.
'Maganda' is an understatement for these speakers.
They dig up so much resolution, detail and clarity from my existing collection of CDs.
So far he's right. I've had a wharfe, an AE, and just last 2 months ago - mission
I have to admit, It threw my bias against american branded speakers out the window.
Ang bilis ng upgrade! Congrats!
Thanks Nelson!
Sorry natalo ng Polk yung manok ko eh (Klipsch RB-61) by a large margin.
I was expecting the RB-61 to trump out the RTi A3 but I was wrong.

I agree. They have a detailed and lively sound, with sufficient "snap" on each hit.
I think they complement HKs quite well. I've heard the A7 with several HKs in the past. HK amps can sound dark with some speakers, but the RTi's overall neutrality (slightly bright/forward for some people) prevents the system from veering too much towards that direction.
-
Consistently good speakers...sounds almost the same when you change amp or source ;D.

I sure hope the RTi A3's 'magic' isn't lost when I put the HK 3470 for retirement and replace it with the HK 980, hopefully also within the year.
Well I think that shouldn't be a problem since marc (AVShop) sells the polk rti A(x) along with the Harman/Kardon HK 9(x)0 stereo integrated amps.
Congrats! Listening session ulit ...
Yes! please do come again, currently they are NOT using the 'stuff' you gave me so i have a comparison between the 'stock' sound and ill later on put in the stuff and hear again if it makes a difference.

Let me rephrase. May bad. I didn't ask for the model.
Listened to the (RTis) LSi 9 awhile ago with the VTLs. Sounds big for it's size. Best heard 5-8 feet away. Master Stagea wanted the biggest brother of your speaks, The LSi25. Wala daw stock.

I just auditioned the RTi A3 and brought along my Mariah Carey CD. The speakers were powered by a Bada tube amp. I was quite surprised that they sounded almost identical to my 10 year old JBL S26 bookshelf speakers! This is not a knock on the Polks, I guess I just made a good choice 10 years ago! :D

Polk Audio speakers need to be broken in to sound the best, I am sure the store just took the RTi A3 out of the box, before you heard them. Tell the store to play music for a few hours a day and come back in 3 days, you will be amazed at the clarity and detail of the Polk Audio RTi series.
-
Hi Sanjay, I auditioned the Rti's at Ehome. The A3's were not lacking in clarity, detail and even bass. It's just that it sounds almost exactly like my JBL's. My current center channel no longer sounds good, so maybe I might get a CSI A4 since the RTi's and my JBL's sound so very much alike. I'll have to study that option some more though.

I was expecting the RB-61 to trump out the RTi A3 but I was wrong.
sir i auditioned these speakers too! same with you, before the audition naka set na mind ko on getting the rb61s, but after hearing the rti a3 and b&w 685, i changed my mind, unang strum pa lang ng gitara alam ko na na day and night ang diff nila sa rb61. i was a bit disappointed yes kasi mahal ko na si rb61 pero im glad na din kasi i got to audition it before getting it. pero till now wala pa ako nabibili nyahahaha

We auditioned these Rti A3 in avshop yesterday. These speakers are really soothing in the ears. They are really great musical speakers. Between Tsi and Rti, Rti really showed that they are a level higher from the Tsi series.
By the way, the avshop staff in kalayaan are really accomodating and knowledgeable about their products.. I hope other Audio and Video specialty shops should do the same. Other hired salesmen doesn't know their own products and most of them echoed questions to their co-salesman. Employers should do something about them. Because they will surely lose customers with these guys.

I'm planning to get either the tsi 200 or rti a3 as my LR and csi a4 for center channel. would the m10 pass as surrounds for this kind of setup? I'm working w/in a 25-30k budget. I'll be using it in my bedroom. thanks for the help

If your considering the TSi200 as your front speakers, go with either the CS10 or CS20 as center; if your considering the RTi A3 as your front speakers, go with either the the CSi A4 or CSi A6 as your center.
The M10 bookshelf as surrounds would be fine.

had a pair of RTi A3 ,,,detailed sound. ;)
-
I already heard the rti a3 in action and was really impressed. am not so sure about csi a4 because i havnt tried it yet? any feedback on the csi a4? either way, i scrapped the tsi 200 on my list. Its now between the tsi 300 & the rti a3. problem is, I like them both. Rti a3 because of the superior sound quality, and the tsi 300 because its a floorstander speaker within my budget range. What's your take? tia for the inputs.

RTi for me, because you can have the sub handle the lows anyway.
-
I will go with sir Stagea.
I pick Rti over the Tsi.
Same reason.
The only advantage of Tsi300 over the Rti A3 is its a floorstander.
The Rti is a model higher than the Tsi.
-
Go for the Polk Audio RTi A3.
-
just wanted to share :
yung isang nakilala ko sa mall,,he was buying the TSi 300,medyo nahuli lang ako ng sabi sa kanya na pakinggan nya muna yung RTia3 ,kaso na i pack at nabayaran nya na yung Tsi ;D
parang gustong ibalik yung Tsi nung marinig nya yung RTi A3. ;D ;D ;D

Oo nga naman...how can I compare apples and oranges. The RTi would obviously be better sounding than the tsi because the former is a step higher in series. Perhaps the only advantage of tsi is its cheaprer (not necessarily economical) than the rti because sabi nga dito sa pdvd 'the poor man pays twice', so dapat go for gold lagi. I guess i have to adjust my financial plan if i will go the full rti route. i appreciate all your inputs!

My FXi A4 surround has a dipole and bipole switch at the back. WHat is this for? I tried both but could hardly hear any difference. Parang mas malakas lang ng konti ang bipole. Any specific purpose for this switch? TIA

Even the entry level receivers from Denon, Marantz or Onkyo will be find with the Polk Audio RTi A1 bookshelf. As for sub, I suggest you consider the new Polk Audio DSW pro 550.

Plus 1 for RTI series. Definitely better sounding than TSI. Mas gwapo pa. :D

It should be ok. I'd go for the Onkyo 608 over the 508. Come by the shop to compare the 2 amps with the Rti a3. :)

I think so too. Go ahead and contact Marc/AVShop for a good deal. :)
RTi speakers are quite easy to match, since they don't require much current to drive. Just toe them in a bit if you have warm-sounding gear, or aim them straight forward if they're coupled with brighter-sounding gear.
-
May I ask for examples of gears that are warm-sounding? bright-sounding?
I also checked the specs of RTi A5, recommended amp power is 20-100W per channel. Does this mean, I would sound ok with a 20W amp, sound "better" with a 40W amp, etc.?
Any helpful leads on a "matching" amp would be great, as I could narrow down the infinite choices on amps later on..
Thanks.
-
This is not always the case, but in general (for me at least):
Warm... something along the lines of NAD, Arcam, Creek, etc. (including most vintage gear)
Neutral to Bright... something along the lines of Cambridge, Cyrus, Rotel, etc. (including flat-voiced pro components)
Please note that not all warm gear sound the same, and not all bright gear are alike. They all have different characteristics, and a certain bright amp might not work with your speakers, yet another one might, for example. The actual performance of each component typically varies beyond the posted frequency response and distortion numbers from the manufacturer, because of interaction between components (speakers don't introduce a constant impedance and are reactive loads, for example). Coloration also accumulates as we go down the signal path, plus individual preferences and room acoustics also vary --- so it's best to test out different combinations (unless you plan on relying on processing, which is another way out).
Amp capacity is beneficial if you need it. It gives you dynamic headroom, and the ability to play louder. If you're playing dynamic material at elevated levels, a weaker amp may not be sufficient (especially in a big room). The quoted range of 20w-100w just gives you a rough idea that most amps rated 20w and up can sufficiently drive these speakers to reasonable levels in a typical application. Whether this meets your needs will depend on your demand on the gear.
I know I should've asked this beforehand, but are you building a music system or a movie system?
-
^Thanks, Stagea.
I am thinking of a system that's 80% for music and 20% on movies. As of now, I am leaning towards a stereo system.

Why don't you consider either the Rti A3 bookshelf, RTi A5 floorstanding or the RTi A7 floorstanding? All are available in either black or cherry.

@Stagea
budget? maximum of 70K for the whole setup. but it is still not final as upgraditis is common in this hobby.
so far, these are the speakers i am planning to audition: polk rti a3, a5, B&W 685, and 684.
@Sanjay
yes, i am considering the rti a3 and a5.

Salamat sir. Hopefully by March or April may surrounds na. I'm still contemplating if i will get the A1 for surrounds or just settle for a budget speaker. And si master ivan and carlo kinakantyawan ako sa sub, chances are i might change subs as well.

Hi All,
Kindly suggest which is better center speaker, polk audio A4 or A6. i'll be using it for movies (location:living room).. Do you think A4 would be enough considering the room dimension of 2.5 meter x 5 meter?.. Thanks in Advance.. ;) By the way i'm using RTI A3 for fronts. :D

Haven t heard the A4 pero i heard the A6 sing at sir Marc shop, it was awesome... i will get this soon....Ipon muna ulit...
-
Thanks sir Courage..
you're right.. actually, i'm considering also the price.. i think the A6 is same price as A3.. if A4 is too small for living room.. then ipon mode din ako.. :D.. pareho na ang laki ng front at center driver (6.5in) ko pag nangyari yon.. hehe.. ;D

Yes, same price nga ang A3 at A6, A4 is too small for me kaya im going with the A6 at nung narinig ko sya buong buo yung tunog kaya ipon mode.. Are you using A3 as your fronts?

im an a4 user paired with a3 for my frontstage driven by an onkyo 608 in a 13'X15' room. so far, loud and powerful enough for my taste despite its compact size. i was surpised nga when i 1st used it because +1 lng ako sa center volume para di masapawan yung LR. however, if you have the space for a big center channel, then ofcourse the a6 is the answer. wala na ytang lalaki padun sa polk ;)

-
yes sir A3 po front ko.. hindi kaya masapawan na yung front ko if i'll be using the A6 for my center?
Nope hindi, pareho tayo nang setup A3 din fronts ko and A1 for the surrounds... Pwede mo naman adjust levels nang speakers or calibrate...

Salamat sir pa3ck608 sa reply.. balak ko din po sya ipair sa 608.. kaya lang concern ko lang baka masapawan na yung A3 kasi same lang sila ng laki.. Add ko lang din po open po kasi yung sala namin.. so far kaya naman po ng A3 ifill yun..

ah ok sir.. hmm.. napaisip tuloy ako. hehe.. ;D.. ganyan din po sana yung setup ko naiisip sa ngayon. Yung option ko po if pwede na yung A4 as center then i'll go for it.. But another side of me is saying na A6.. ;D.. pag nagkataon mas mahal ang upgrade ng front ko.. ;)

actually the center is one of the most important part in a ht setup because dun ang outlet ng dialogue, so in a sense, the bigger the better especially if you are going to use it in a big room. there's adjustment namn for sound levels if you think its too loud. ako kasi, space yung consideration ko because the a6 is too big and heavy for my space. my a4 is wall mounted below my lcd, thats why.

ah ok sir.. you're right.. sa space naman po.. balak ko sya ilagay sa baba ng plasma ko.. pro feeling ko hindi sya kasya kasi sobrang laki.. baka pa modify ko muna yung tv rack.. or else might get the center stand.. salamat po..

Hi!
I'm jumping over from the TSi thread!
Hehehe..
I was set on getting a TSi setup:
Tsi 300
Tsi 100
CS10
PSW110
But I'm now strongly considering the following:
Rti A3
Csi A4
PSW110
plus any cheap but good surround rear speaker.
Any recommendations for the rear speakers? Or do I really have to go A1 or FX? Because if that is the case, I have to save up pa for the additional cost and stay with a 3.1 setup for now.
I'm planning to use an Onkyo 509 receiver for this setup.

So, ok lang to stay 3.1?
Will my Samsung speakers from my free Samsung HT work? Hehe..
One more question, if I'll save up for it na lang din, A1's or the FXi's?

Check your samsungs speaker specs kung pwede sya, ususally mababa impedence nang HTIB speakers pero kung 8 or 6ohm yan kaya yan, check also the power it can handle, kung mababa just dont crank the levels of your surround...
FXi or A1? No experience with FXi but for me.. ill get the A1... A1 kasi pwede mo rin gamiting mains eh

If your looking for cheaper rear speakers, why don't you consider the Polk Audio Owm 3. its less then P10,000 for a pair.

Thanks for the input guys! I really appreciate it!
I think I can go for the M10's for now, so if in the future, I can use them as support to a 7.1 system when I do get the A1's.
Getting the M10's for now also frees up some budget for a better Receiver.
I'm considering the new Onkyo 509. But a friend of mine is recommending the Denon 1611, another the HK 160's.
What do you guys use/recommend?

I am using Harman Kardon with Polk Audio though TSi series. The music and movies sound great and it's more on the warm side. Also managed to audition Onkyo 608 with Polk Speakers. Somehow the HK has a "thicker" sound on both movies and music. I also tried comparing the physical weight of HK with Onkyo. HK is much heavier

Thanks for your sharing sir Cosmic79! Really important to hear feedback from the actual users. So far I've been stuck with online reviews and photos.
HK is number one for me when it comes to the aesthetics though. It really looks good!
I've heard stories also of Onkyo units heating up. It's a concern for me because my TV area is not yet airconditioned.
Any comments from Denon/Onkyo users with an RTi setup?
Thanks again guys! You're my HT big bros!
Can't wait to sample the actual units.

Air-conditioning is not needed for Onkyo receivers. As long as it has adequate space on top for the heat to dissipate it will be okay. What's bad is cramming it into a shelf/cabinet with confined space.

If you're comparing HK 160 versus Onkyo 508 the difference in weight is 0.5 kg or 1.1 pounds.

@Conan:
Thanks for pointing that out chief!
As soon as the TV gets mounted, it clears space on the TV shelf.
So if I do get the 509, I can put it on the top-most shelf with the center speaker and the bookshelf speakers.

Weight is the last thing that i'll worry about. I suggest you go there and listen.. Sir Marc"avshop" has both Onkyos and Harmans, i heard the RTi's play on both comparing against TSI's and Infinity's. I ended up going home with RTI's they just sounded great on both receivers, though i'm using a Yamaha now but still RTI's sounds amazing...

Thanks @Courage!
Actually, I've sort of decided on the RTi's for my front and centers and a PSW110 for my sub.
Space-saving + Sound quality. Still undecided on the rear speakers though. So will try all the suggested ones. My original plan was just to get a high-end soundbar.. but I got disappointed in my search for one..
I'm definitely going to audition the three AVR's before buying. Will be going to check which will suite my taste more for the AVR sounds.
I'm planning to bring my Xtreamer and my Mac to test out my files too.
Any other tips? hehehe..
Btw, I haven't heard from any Denon 1611 users yet.. Anyone who would care to share?

So you are planning for RTiA3 for Fronts and CSi A4 for center right? For surrounds TSi and the M series will do..and even if it's not an RTi they will still sound great though no experience with the M series.. But if you can extend your budget go for the A1 para mas gwapo :) but hindi sya ganung ka critical to pair it with an A1 for surrounds.
Tips...
Just enjoy the audition and be careful, sometimes you'll end up spending more than you plan. I'm the biggest example he he he ;D. Kasalanan ni sir Marc, making all those speakers available for demo kaya ayun narinig ko tuloy at pagkadinig ko di na ako pinatulog... but hey I'M VERY HAPPY...
Good luck sir and happy hunting.. ;)

Yup! RTi's for the front are decided on na.
Secret weapon, will bring my wife to be my "treasurer" and auditor!
Hahahaha..
Will get the cheaper Polk speakers for surrounds for now. Will save up for A1's and then use the ones I'll get now for the full 7.1 setup later on.
Still undecided with the AVR though. For now, based on looks, the HK160 looks really good, neat and solid. The Onkyo 509 looks good feature-wise, since it's the newest among the three.. Well the Denon 1611, no other feedback yet, but a dad of a friend swears by it. He has a mini-cinema at home with Polk setup too.

may it be hk, onkyo or denon, you won't go wrong with any of them if paired with the RTi A's. i had the chance to listen to them and they all sounded great. it will just all depend on your taste. bringing your favorite cds will surely help. good luck and welcome to this hobby ;)

Same situation tau sir Courage.. dati i'm aiming for for whafs.. then sabi nung boss ko try ko daw polk audio or paradigm. then nagsearch ako dito s forum regarding tsi200 dami rin good comments about it... then narinig ko yung tsi300.. maganda rin.. pero narinig ko pa yung RTI A3.. kaya ayun.. kahit mahal sya binili kona kasi sulit naman.... hanggang ngayon nga tinatanong pako ng erpat ko kung magkano daw un.. gusto daw nya ng ganon.. haha.. :D hindi ko pa rin masabi sa kanya baka mabigla eh. ;)

Ha ha ha... when my wife asked me how much i spent for the RTi A3 and A1 combined.. i told her 15k lahat na for 4 speakers..nagulat sya and said "WHAT!!!!!" gugulpihin na dapat ako then nung narinig nya she said kaya pala mahal kasi maganda tumunog ha ha ha.. Cant tell the real price kasi 15k pa lang na shock na sya, pag nalaman nya orig price im sure i shoshock nya ako, electrically ha ha ha..
Isipin nyo my plan was to upgrade my sub to US Audio na 2nd hand for 4.5k naunahan lang talaga ako.. And i ended up with the Polk dahil sa Audition.. Kaya minsan ingat din tayo na mag audition nang bagay na di naman natin target bilhin ha ha ha

Thanks for the warm welcome sir pa3ck608!
I'm leaning towards the 509 for now, since this will be a new investment and I would want to be 2-3years ready. It will still depend on the Sunday Audition though.
I've already transferred my cd collection on my Mac at high bitrate. Will bring it on Sunday. MBPros have built in optical output/input so I can do some solid testing on the RTi's and the AVR options.

Sir Courage,
Just like in my other hobby, photography, eto ang favorite quote ko -
"It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission."
- Disclaimer: Sa toys for the big boys lang ha!
Thanks uli sa tips and stories guys! Keep em comin!

Enjoy your sunday audition sir..
Yup! Nikon shooter here! PM me your flickr account para we can share shots!
On rest ang photography, unlike last year, coz wife is currently preggy and we don't go out to shoot and travel regularly anymore.. So, since we'll be spending a lot of time together at home, better to beef up our Home Entertainment System.
Can't wait to try out the RTi's so I moved our schedule to Saturday!
Hahaha..
Good thing my schedule cleared up!
Will update again tomorrow.
Still not that much feedback from Denon users on RTi's.. Hmmm...
I'm leaning more towards the Onkyo 509 for future-proofing na..
-
Sir paalala kung gusto mo ma-enjoy ng husto ang set-up mo, iwasan mo muna ang mag-OL sa PDVD ;D ;D ;D
haha.. mukhang +100 ako dito sir ron.. hehe.. hirap kasi ang dami nakikita maganda.. ;D
Yan din sir sabi nang karamihan dito at isa na ako dun nung nagsimula ako dito sa pdvd 9 years ago he he he
naku... dapat kapag nakumpleto kona setup ko.. hindi muna ako magonline ng mga 2yrs ;) para masulit ko nga yung gears ko.. haha :D

Correct...Ako natapos ang upgrade itch ko 2005, simula nun wala na ako upgrades.. bihira na din ako sa PDVD.. then after 6 years eto na naman ako ha ha ha... ang natitira na lang na ginagamit ko from my old setup is the sub and center speakers... Yung center baka next month.. yung sub baka after 2 months he he he...
-
I hope I'll miss the upgrade itch!!!
On my way to audition this afternoon!
Hope I stay within budget.
Ideal setup:
Rti A3 - LR Front
CSi A4 - C
OWM3 - Surround
PSW110
with an HK 160 receiver
Option 2:
Onkyo 509.
It will really depend on the sound!
Thanks again for the help guys!
Have a sonic weekend!

Thanks chief!
Just got back after our session. Thanks to Marc for accommodating us and his helpful staff James.
We had a blast! Literally and figuratively.
I wasn't able to try out the Denon 1611 though, so it was a head to head battle between the HK 160 and the Onkyo 509.
I tried the HK 160 first with the following setup:
RTi A3,CSi A4, M10 rears and Mirage S8 Subs (PSW 110 was unavailable as well)
The sound was big and low frequencies were rumbling.
Tried a couple of songs and a couple of movies.
I was initially satisfied already. Part of me also wanted the HK160 to be "the one" coz, looks-wise, I just loved it. It had great aesthetics, organized and well labeled ports, etc.
However, since there was no pressure at that time to rush, the curious george inside me wanted to try out the 509 as well and just compare if there will be a significant difference.
We took a little time setting it up, coz it was one of the very first units. But as soon as we heard the first song play on it, I realized that that was the sound I was looking for. Clear, crisp and open.
Even my wife, who was busy playing Sudoku on her iPhone, looked back to me and said, "Hey, this sounds much better."
The movie dialogue was clearer, the sharp crashing sounds of glass breaking was clear, and the roar of mini-coopers racing was rumbling across the room!
Almost same price point, future-proofing, and better sound won over brand and good looks.
On an ending note, just like your stories, the RTi A3's were really super-value-for-money speakers and were small but terribly powerful and wonderful speakers! And an important lesson learned: it's not the looks, the specs and just the features that matter in choosing the right amp to drive these speakers. It's what kind of sound you really want to hear from your system.
Thanks again PDVD and avshop!
Marc, you got PM! Yahoo!

Sir Courage,
For my condo, the CSi A4 is big already. My initial search was for a surroundbar lang or something similar. But for the price of the good sounding surround bars, I just had to add a little more and I had this setup already.
How big is the room you'll place it in? My tv area is just 1/3 or 1/4 the size of the audition room of avshop.
Btw, the RTi A3's on music mode were amazing. Even without the center and subs on! I might start listening to more music too!
very well said sir ;)
Thanks sir! Can't wait for the setup schedule here at home!
-
sir jc,
ganda talaga yan sir.. you can't go wrong with that! ;)

Denon was a favorite of my friend's dad who's an audiophile..
But, I would want to work with what I have tried and tested already.

That's right!
I've been to 3 different stores so far before going to Marc.
One wanted to make sure that I would buy from them after the demo. Made even a slight "hint" that he sometimes makes an effort to setup the speakers and stuff and sayang daw if the customer eventually doesn't buy. In my mind, I was thinking, even the wealthy people make sound decisions by not jumping the gun after hearing a good audition. Too agressive for me.
Another store naman, we spent about 30mins before we could turn on a sound bar system. When I said it was a hassle to start it and I wanted to move on to an HT setup, he still insisted to run the sound bar. Not listening to what the customer wants.
Another store, had good service, but no good "brands" and no auditioning area.
Avshop, despite the distance, was worth the trip. No pressure. Patient and accommodating staff.
Two thumbs up Sir Marc!
Btw, got the "PM" already. Just waiting for Sir Marc's feedback on my reply.
It's only a matter of time... tick tock.. tick tock..

Oo nga!
I'm still up..
Things to do while waiting:
1.) Read Onkyo 509 Manual
2.) Measure length of cable needed for front, surround, center and subs.
3.) Read LG LED Manual
4.) Re-arrange furniture to lessen clutter in the living room
5.) Clean up
6.) Imagine what my Holy Week break will be like when I'm all set up!
Hehehehe...
Anything I missed out? Looks like I'll be busy preparing for the babies to come home!
Hehehe..

Sir Courage:
LED TV manual, check!
Onkyo 509 manual, check!
Regarding the banana plugs, did you get any free ones when you got your A3's? Or do I have to buy my own? I thought it was included already kasi. Just in case, are the "Sewell" brands being sold in the forum any good? Or do you know any other place to get good ones?
Thanks chief!
Update:
Cable measurements, Check!

Di sya included nung bumili ako...
Anyway any brand will do, kahit yung nag bebenta dun nang 100 pesos per pair ok din yun.. YUng sewell mukang ok, mas madali sya kesa dun sa close screw.. Nahirapan pa ako dun sa close screw type kasi wala akong maliit na screw driver he he he
Mas ok naka banana, ma peprevent mo pa na mag short ang mga loose strands na wire... Isa pa mas madali mag arrange, sak sak hugot ka lang..

Haha.. Actually I did some searching on the forum and found a discussion on it. I was rolling with laughter when I read the post about connecting the banana plugs to the "banana socket"! Hahaha..
Anyways, I was able to source out a decent P85 per pair in Listening Room in Megamall.
So after adding it to my list... banana plugs, check!
Tuesday down. 3 more days till Saturday!

Yup yup yup... REady those movies and audio files.. Same thing i did and still doing he he he...
I'm also using my PS3 as media player wala kasi akong NMT at Blueray DVD's so i'm playing HD AVI's, VOB and MPG using an external HDD connected to PS3, medyo limited nga lang ako to 3gig na file.. 3 na lang sir ang sleepless nights mo he he he...
I'll be going to Sir Marc shops tomorrow to demo the A4 and A6 he he he.. Demo lang

OT sir:
How do you play HD AVIs sa PS3? Sorry Im really clueless on this :)

OT sir:
How do you play HD AVIs sa PS3? Sorry Im really clueless on this :)
I'm using an external hdd connected via USB.
Kung more than 30gig ang external drive mo sir, you need to partition it. Make a 32gig Fat32 partition for PS3 use only, the rest of the space can be NTFS.
You can use that 32gig FAT32 as your storage for videos and music. Just plug your USB HDD and the ps3 will detect it.
Problem with PS3 as a video source kokonti ang format and codec, unlike NMT's pero kung walang NMT pwedeng pag tyagaan ang PS3...
So far na paplay ko are AVI's, MPG, MP4, VOB
Also you cant put a file that is more than 4 gig sa Fat32 File system, so kung 4 gig anng file mo you need to split it in half, kaso masyadong madaming trabaho mag split...
Best way to play a 4gig or more file sa PS3 is via Media Server... Kung mas mababa dun you can easily use the external drive...
Thumbdrive will do also...

OT sir:
How do you play HD AVIs sa PS3? Sorry Im really clueless on this :)
I think AVI's are supported on the PS3.
I use my Xtreamer for the .mkv files.
Btw, if you have a Mac, here's what I discovered, PLEX Media Player can play most movie formats and even lossless audio.
Audio can be output vie the MiniDisplay port with an HDMI adaptor (for newer Mid 2010 MAcs with NVidia 320M Graphics), or using a Toslink cable with adaptor and connecting it to the Digital In/Out of the Macbook to the Receiver.
The best thing is.. Plex is FREE!
Sir Courage:
Auditioning at AVShop has a "try now buy later-but-sooner-than-expected effect!"
Hahaha..
Happy audi tomorrow!
Got some lossless files na of Air Supply, Toto, James Taylor and Simply Red for testing!
Hahaha..
I'm heading to sleep to speed up the time!
Good night PDVD Gang!

Brader,
i was at AVSHOP kanina and auditioned the CSi A4 and 6, nakita ko dun yung mga RTi's mo naka box and ready for pickup na or deliver ba yun? Also saw the guys from Onkyo delivered the 509.. para sayo ata yun he he he....2 509's yung nakita ko dun.. isa daw para sayo... Congrats brader...

Mas buo yung tunog nang A6 compared to A4, parang the A6 has bigger sound.. hirap describe he he he..Maganda rin yung A4 but kung may budget ka get the A6...problem lang with this is the size.. Ang laki nya..

Di ka naman mag sisisi with A4, when i first listened to it it was very very nice, maganda sya tumunog. comparing to other speakers that i auditioned panalo ang A4. It was actually on my buy list na... kaso pinadinig kasi sa akin yung A6 kaya ayun... Maganda ang A4 kaso mas maganda yung more expensive na bigger brother nya...i guess that's the reason it's more expensive..
Wala akong negative feedback with the A4, talaga lang mas maganda tumunog yung malaki he he he....Kasalanan ni sir Marc lahat kaya napapamahal mga binibili ko he he he... Sorry sir Marc, just kidding...

malaking improvement ba kung upgrade ako from tsi to rti? as in parang langit at lupa ba ang sound difference hehe. isip ko kasi kung stay ako same brand kung upgrade. rti a9 or b&w 683
-

lets me put it this way, i auditioned the TSi400 and the RTi A3 side by side, i even tried to blind test and i ended up buying the latter. ;) so if you are eying the flagship RTi a9, comparison to any model from the tsi series would be no contest imo. RTi is a step higher. i think the a9 will measure up better with the 683. better to audition them because they sound different. ;)

I was set to buy the TSi and yung 2nd option ko was Infinity... SO during audition naglalaban ang Infinity and Polk TSi sa utak ko... they were both good... Eh may naka display na RTi.. so sabi ko paki kabit para marinig ko lang...
Ayun imbis na TSI or Infinity ang iwui ko RTi ang dinala ko sa bahay...
RTi A9 against TSi400... RTi is clearly the winner on any TSi...Never heard the B&W sing so i cant compare to that...
But RTi A9 is like my dream speakers... and soon it will be mine.. For now im just dreamin about it...

Both the A9 and the 683 will take what power you can give them. It takes a lot of power to saturate them or drive them to compression. Both can handle the most powerful AVRs out there, and would likely stay with you over the long run (amdist AVR or power amp upgrades). The A9 is even suitable for playing full range (the 683 might also do it to a more limited extent).

thanks sa reply, medyo sisi nga ako sa tsi nag impulsive buying kasi ako ngayon gusto ko upgrade hehe, may go signal kasi kay commander na upgrade kaya eto research. na audition kasi namin ni misis yung b&w but cm9 model nainlove kame sa sound kaso sobrang pricey dito nasa $1500 each. yung rti a9 and b&w 683 naman halos same price $1500 pair na, wala ako ma audition dito ng rti a9 dito kaya tanong tanong hehe. tnx again mga masters

Wow sir bryan.. ang ganda ng A9... top of the line ng RTI.. gusto ko sana sa next upgrade ko eto na rin mabili ko.. kaya lang mejo mahal na sya... ;D dream ko talaga to kahit hindi kopa naririnig. :D im pretty sure kuhang kuha nito panlasa ko.. ;)

Hey bro, let me know when you guys are going so I can try to be there too. Honestly, I don't think the A9 will fit our place but I figure if there is big difference over the A7 even at low power levels it till still be in the running.

Pero how about the Width? Mahaba kasi yung A6 at yung Depth nya mahaba din.. pero since bukas naman yung likod ok lang sa Depth.. yung width na lang... 35.56 cm ata yung A6. Ano ba yang current center mo sir?
Magkano sir bili mo sa rack? Saang ace mo nabili? At anong tawag nila dyn? Nagpuna ako sa Ace sa batangas wala silang ganyang rack..

nag measure ako kanina, yung width sakto lang, may extra pa each side mga 3 inches. depth naman, lagpas lang ng mga 1-2 inches yung likod ng A6 pero ok lang since open naman yung likod nya sakto lang din. current center ko yung tsi cs10.
nabili ko yan sa sm north annex na ace, iba ibang kulay pa yan. kaso walang black nung time na bumili ako. ok na din naman yung blue. hehe. ewan ko lang anong tawag, nakita ko lang sya dun sa mga shelves na area nila sa may mga cabinets and tables. got it for 2k tapos nagdadagdag ako isang layer for 500 pesos. ;D

Yan na yung standard height nyan sir? Anong height? Plano ko kasi LCD lang at Center lagay ko eh so kelangan ko medyo mas mababa nang konti kasi yung bed ko walang frame, naka patong directa sa floor so pag nakahiga ako baka sobrang taas nang LCD...
Tamang tama sa akin siguro kung saan nakapatong yung Center mo yun na yung pagpapatungan nang LCD then yung center andun sa lalagyan nang AVR. bale dalawang layer lang.. Unless pwedeng customize yung height?

check ko maya sa bahay ano yung height, ka height nya lang kasi yung mga standard office tables.
kung gusto mo talaga mas mababa pwede naman putulin yung braces nya sa gilid. haha. since naka screw lang naman yung mga layer.

Tanong lang mga Bro: I have A3 as my front now. When I replace them with the A7, can I put them in series and use the for the center? I realize there is an impedance mismatch but putting them in series will just mean I won't be able to get their full power potential (?) but I have no intention of going anywhere near that anyway. So it is this a terribly bad idea?
My plan is currently to use the A3 for surrounds but that would be a sad waste of the A3's true abilities. I could sell them but why if they will work very well as a center.

A6 muna! Hehehehe...
Chief, question!
Can I use "Large" settings on the A3 and A6 and turn on the double bass option so that the Sub would still pick up the low frequency?
I noticed a fuller sound when I tested it that way, I'm just not sure if this will have any negative effects on my AVR or Speakers.
Any input on this guys?

The A6 has a 3db down point of 55 Hz and the A3 is 50 Hz. I would just set them at 80 Hz and let the sub handle the rest of the work. You can experiment setting them to the values that I mentioned and see what sounds better to you. If you set them both to large or full range, the receiver will be doing more work by trying to reproduce the low frequencies for fronts and center.

Actually, the Audyssey setup placed it on 80Hz and Small speakers.
I tried lowering to 60 Hz Crossover, but the 80Hz Crossover sounded better.
Sub is connected via RCA->LFE and knob is set to LFE mode. It's a PSW110 btw.
So setting it to Large makes the Amp work harder and consume more power? Tama ba?
Then small na lang.. lower electricity consumption.. Hahahaha..

I see no harm sa receiver as long as it's properly ventilated and not playing at full volume, if you like the sound that way then use it.. Wala naman nakalagay sa manual na masisira if you set it that way with bookshelves right. It's true that it will give your receiver a workout but matibay naman mga receivers natin.. as long as properly ventilated at walang short sa wiring then your good to go.. Ako i put in a small fan on top of my receiver to suck the heat out...
I set my A3's to large when listening to music with sub turn off by the way... Also do that when listening to music running 4 channel stereo so my A1's are also set to large and sub still off... So far i'm lovin it....

Correct pero minsan we are curious what the A3's can do he he he... so bigay natin lahat sa kanya he he he...And the result is good right.. like what you said setting them to large make their sound fuller...
Dont be afraid as long as di mo pag ooverheat ang amp at walang short circuit na mangyayari... Matibay ang mga receivers natin that's why they are expensive....HIndi sya CDRking :)

What will cause it to overheat?
It's properly ventilated, about 6inches clearance.
Max volume when watching or listening is 65.
And yes, I did not get the CDRKing brand AVR! hehehe..
I bought a P450 3.5" HDD Enclosure from them, after 1 week, not working na..
Oh well..

Poor ventilation lang naman, Higher volume will heat up your amp so pag pangit ventation sosobra ang init. But im sure your Onkyo has a protection circuitry. Pero ako for peace of mind pinatungan ko nang small PC fan to suck the heat out... Madami din gumagawa nun dito so talagang di sya umiinit even at high volume... And syempre para din magtagal ang buhay nang amp natin, you know what heat can do naman di ba..Just for added safety and wala naman mawawala. Check out my pics sa HT pics thread may nakapatong na DIY fan he he he...

I've been playing music on the A3 with the sub off too ... well actually I set the SW to auto and it does not turn on unless I set the receiver to non-stereo. Sounds good to me ... I can only imagine what A7 or A9 would sound like.

K lang yun Bro. There'll be a next time. For now, I'll just rip my new CDs into the XTreamer. Honestly, I'm not convinced there is a real difference between music from an NMT and a dedicated CD player. For me the Sony looked pretty cool and I'm curious to see this difference everyone talks about for myself ... not that I'd be a better judge actually. To be fair, I read awhile ago that not all rips are equal. Some rips are actually "faulty" but this is operator error IMHO more than an inferiority of technology.

Nag audition lang sir nang A7 at A9.. Plus nag check din ako rack plus availability nang C6 kasi yun ang bibilhin ko hopefully pag nabenta yung AVR ko.
Anyway comparison of A7 and A9... A9 clearly the winner... Sobrang noticeable ang difference nang dalawa... Ang ganda nang soundstage nang A9. Before i go there i was thinking na baka bass lang ang difference nang dalawa but i was wrong...
ANG GANDA NANG A9...
-
Sir Courage,
Nakapaghakot na ba? Hehehe.. How was the A7-A9 audition?
Hehehe..
Ganda makinig ng lossless audio sa RTi A3. I set it to large speakers. Changed na din my NMT from Xtreamer Mk1 to Kaiboer 130i. Galing ng Raw output niya. Claro.
Sir Jc,
Hindi pa... pag nabenta na yung AVR ko...A9 and A7.... A9 wins unang few seconds pa lang nang kanta dinig na dinig mo na deperensya nang dalawa habang nag siswitch si James nang speakers... Galing nang A9 bro at ang LAKI nya he he he

Yup, for me sa mids ang very noticeable difference nila (dun pa naman tayo pinaka-sensitive). Sa lows pareho naman silang malalim, and yung highs pareho namang crisp and detailed (minor improvements lang in these departments).
Go na sa A9, Courage. :)

He he he i wish sana sir, Siguro pag nag move na ako sa bigger place.. Ang laki nang A9 he he he... But i love it... Very detailed and crisp... Ang sarap nyang gamitin for music... ang ganda nang soundstage...

wow sir i envy you.. narinig mona ang a7 at a9.. actually nung pinaguusapan natin yung 2 yan a week ago.. sinusukat kona yung living room namin kung kakasya pa sya.. i think kasya naman sa living room.. ang hindi kaysa ay yung budget ko.. lol.. ;D

Brader, i'm telling you it's worth the pag iipon....When i'm finish with my HT, pagiipunan ko to.. Plan ko nga pag di nabenta HK ko, i will use it to power this baby. That's why i told brader louie na next week pag andito pa HK ko i'll bring it to AVSHOP para ma match ko...

hmm.. maganda suggestion to sir.. a7 or a9 fronts then a3 surround.. a6 for center.. :D :D.. ano ba mganda avr dito sa 2 top of the line ng rti sir?.. actually ala pako avr.. yun muna unahin ko.. hehe. ok na ba dito 608 or 708?.. or kelangan talaga mataas ang per channel wattage?..
oo nga sir.. mukhang kayang kaya idrive ng HK nyo un.. match na match siguro un.. :D

Are you getting the A9 or A7? Paano yung A6?
Hehehe.. I'm sure at those prices, ok talaga yung 2. Pero, for the price difference between the A7 and A9, I would love to have the A9 as well. If only, I was staying at a bigger place already. I'm looking 2-3 years down the road. Would the A9 still be king or would there be a new RTi then? Hehehe.. For now, I am enjoying my RTI BS setup.
Brader baka etong sabado makapunta ko MLY :D
Ayun o! Upgrade uli!

parang sayang naman gawing surrounds ang A3 unless you have a super big dedicated HT room. why dont you make either the A9/A7 or A3 your dedicated speakers for pure audio listening then retain the other one for HT setup. get na lng an A1 or FXi for surrounds. ;)

Salamat sa input sir pack... :D pwede rin yung suggestion nyo sir.. ;) future plan ko din yan sir na magkaron ng dedicated setup for pure audio just like most of here in pdvd.. pag mura na mga tubes at integrated amp siguro.. matutuloy na yan.. hehe.. for now.. HT muna.. pwede pa din gamitin sa audio yung HT na setup.. ;) Thanks..

i suggested kasi nsasayangan na nga ako sa A1 ko for making it my surrounds because it can actually handle the duty of the main fronts plus its really really good in music. lalo na siguro ako manghihinayang kung A3 pa ang gawing kong pang likod if ever mag upgrade ako ng fronts. just saying this based on experience ;D

Yup. Tama tong recommendation ni Sir pa3ck608.
I settled for OWM3s as surrounds and they're doing a great job naman so far.
And, mysteriously hidden in the upper corners of the room. Low ceiling lang sala namin e. 7ft. high lang.
But that would be a good upgrade path in the future..
Get an A9.. then use A3 as surrounds, then OWM 3 as rears..
Or use the A3 as LR with the 509 for audio only, then get a better amp for the A9, A6 and OWM3 surrounds. (",) Hehe..
Goal setting na to!

Salamat sa iput sir jc.. mukhang ok din as surround yung OWM3 at OWM5 ah.. sana mas mura sya sa A1.. ;)
-
Yup, it definitely is cheaper than the A1's. But they're surrounds. You don't need to spend that much, unless you're setting up a "theater" hehehehe...
Contact Marc sa AV Shop. He'll get you a great deal on them.

Brader baka etong sabado makapunta ko MLY :D
Brader sabihan mo ako pag punta ka... Sama ako he he he... what time? text me bro. 09175547017.. Though punta ako bukas or wednesday to get the A6... sa wakas makukumpleto ko na... KOnting tulog na lang...

Its hard to tell, it would depend on your taste because they sound different imo. why dont you compare them side by side, i believe MLY (avshop) has BX and RX series ready for audition. They say MA's sound best when paired with yamaha or onkyo.

Oo nga, it's hard to stop and take pictures lalo na kapag katulad ko, OC!
Hehehe..
Been playing around with settings and re-doing Audyssey 2EQ with my 509.. Kasi up to now, I feel like my A6 isn't "unleashed" yet. Solid yung bass and highs, sablay sa mids.. medyo masakit sa tenga..
I am fearing na baka mismatch yung amp ko :-[

@Courage:
I changed setting to Large.
Then, I moved the crossover from 100 down to 80.
And... I inverted the center speaker so that it would be angled towards my ears (suggested by the guy from Ask Audyssey.)
Better sound at last!
My volume is between 60-65.
Safe lang ba to for my amp and speakers?
Thanks for the suggestions bro!
-
Center channels really have to be aimed directly at the listener's ears for best sound. Very narrow ang on-axis or sweet spot ng center channel.

Narrow indeed!
Grabe, peace of mind at last. And more relaxed ears...

I had the same experience bro kasi eh, when i connected my A6, sabi ko bat masakit sa tenga..... pero nung nag audition ako sa MLY maganda sya tumunog... So i played with my receivers crossover, nung check ko yammy ko nasa 120. So what i did was muted all the channel except for center and played a movie na puro dialogue then while listening i started to play with the crossover settings of my yammy. Center lang anng may tunog so i can concentrate on the SQ. While i change my xover from 120-110-90-80 i noticed a huge difference.. Paganda sya nang paganda... Then i started to play music only, again center lang tumutunog... Maganda na sya.. so naisipan ko naman, pano kung i large ko? While playing music, i set it to large.. aba lalong gumanda he he he.. Kaya ayun... Buong buo na ang tunog nang center ko...
I dont see any harmful effect on the receivers end basta again like what i said before properly ventilated yung AVR, i'm using a fan so talagang never na uminit ang receiver ko...
-
Update:
<Guys, let me know if this is just a psychological effect of my tweaking and tweaking and tweaking..?>
I just watched a movie that was full of dialogue and again, the harshness was back. I returned my speakers to "Small" again and set the crossover at 70Hz. I set it back to "Small" when using 5.1 because, I heard that setting the speakers at Large sends a lot of power from the amp to drive the speakers. Which, may not be good in the long run.
I then noticed when I stood up, the sound seemed better as I got up.
I then remembered that the CSi A6 has a black antenna looking stand at the back, so I tilted the center speaker to point a little lower than usual so that the tweeter would be pointing directly at my ear level. And it is much much better now because of this.
Not tiring mid-range sound + speakers set at small + no more need to increase center channel volume = More peace of mind and movie joy!
Hehehe..
Next project, since my couch is backed up against a concrete wall, I'm planning to put a thick curtain behind me to reduce the sound reflections. Should I still install the "egg-crate" looking foam on the wall behind the curtain?
-

@courage, pano ma mute un ibang speaker excpet s center? sori pero ONkyo un akin and baka alam nyo po. TIA!
If I'm not mistaken(wala pa kasi ako sa bahay, hehe), what you can do is to go to speaker settings and select mo yung option "NONE" sa lahat ng speakers except center. BTW Onkyo din gamit ko and that's what I do.
-
newbie po here
@courage, pano ma mute un ibang speaker excpet s center? sori pero ONkyo un akin and baka alam nyo po. TIA!
Yamaha kasi sir ang AVR ko and may option dun to Mute any or all speakers so you can isolate a sound from any speakers including the sub..I dont know about the Onkyo's, you can check your speaker settings if there is such, or you can go with brader louie's suggestion of setting them to none? Just dont know kung pwede mong i non yung fronts kasi sa Yamaha di pwedeng walang fronts eh but the rest can be set to none...

@ sir crazyhog, Yammy din po ang receiver ko sir and my experience is that some p*****d dvds played on center channel alone, but, they sucks, sir. Why don't you just use your display's speakers if that' s your purpose?
-
@ Courage:
Bro, I have greatly improved SQ!
One word - MoPads!
Hehehe..
The harsh mids were a result of placing my speakers on top of a wooden entertainment center instead of having separate stands for each piece.
(",)
Did some research and got to get some from Mike C!
Yahoo!
-
Wow!
Tahimik dito a!
Panay listening and watching mode na siguro... Hehehe..
Question, how far should the RTi's be from the wall?
Should the power port almost touch the wall?
My concern is, if I do that, it puts more surface area of the shelf I'm placing my speakers on.
Wouldn't that cause unwanted reflections?
I'm planning to push the speakers forward , a little over the edge of the Entertainment stand.
Or should I really get speaker stands?

Get speaker stands na lang, or wall-mount those speakers. :)

get a pair of speaker stands. very useful if you want to toe-in the speakers during listening sessions plus mas pogi tingnan ang RTi A3 on stands ;D

@pa3ck608,Stagea, Courage:
Oh no! Hahahaha.. bagong upgrade uli! :)
Hehehehe..
Hmmm.. sayang naman yung MoPads ko if I get stands..
What if..
- I install L-bracket type wooden shelves on both sides of the TV
- then I put the RTi's on top of the MoPads, on top of the shelf.. (para, wall mounted and able to toe-in)
How high should the wall mount be? midpoint of TV, or upper part aligned or lower part aligned?
Thanks for the input!

Hello guys , bought polk audio RTi series sa SNS last year pa . .Share nio daw yung audyssey settings nio? My equipment are in my sig .Ito sa akin . . .The fronts are set to small instead to full band as recommended by most experts . .
1.) RTi A7 fronts - 40HZ @ -5db (left) ; -3.5db (right)
2.) CSi A6 Center - 40HZ @ -6db
3.) FXi A4 Surrounds - 40HZ @ -5db (right surround); -5.5db (left surround)

i have a smaller set of speaks, but we have exactly the same crossover settings for all the channels after i did the audyssey calib, although the db are different. i tried to adjust the fronts crossover to 50hz, naging mas ok for me...i think. my room size btw is about 13 x 15 feet

Pati room mo exact tau ng size hehehe . .How bout your decibel levels? :) The levels that audyssey set are all in the negative. In effect, I have to crank up the volume in my onkyo receiver. Now, the crossover set by audyssey can only be increased as decreasing the crossover frequencies set by the audyssey would in effect deactivate the filters applied by audyssey (I really researched on this lolz).How bout the decibel levelS? Is it just safe to increase the decibel levels so that I do not have to crank up the volume in my receiver? Or would it also deactivate the filters applied by the audyssey (this I do not have any idea lolz) hehe . .Thanks :)

Here's my hunch:
I think it sticks to the negative side for your setup to align the volume control dB scale. In a smaller room where the speakers are closer to the listening position (plus there is more cabin gain), it would need less amplifier output to get the same intensity (this is especially true since your speakers are easy to drive). Audyssey probably compensates for this by pulling down the channel levels. This way, the volume scale of your system will be "correct" and would scale similarly to other calibrated systems in very different rooms.

this is what the audio setup of the receiver looked like after audyssey.
bass: +2 db
treble: +4 db
center: +1 db
subwoofer: -11 db (the volume gain of my sub is at 1 o'clock)
dynamic eq: on
dynamic volume: light
sound optimizer: on
yung center na lng ang inaadjust ko dito, but the rest of the setting i leave them as they are. master volume level usually between -35 to -25 db lng pinaka malakas ko. i just rely on my ears. hehe ;D mukang correct si stagea i think the size of the room in relation to the speaker placement are a big factor. btw, my 608 is only 2eq, unlike yours.

Good Day mga Sir
I recently got my 608 for my RTI A3.. sa ngayon kinakapa ko pa po yung AVR ko since newbie lang din po ako dito sa hobby na ito.. I would like to ask for your advice regarding the audyssey calibration..
Parang mahina po kasi yung settings ko kasi yung volume ko is nasa 70 to attain yung listening level ko..

Thanks for your reply :D

@ pa3ck608 @ Stagea , Thanks! :)
I recalibrate ko ulit . .hehe . .Kasi iniba ko mga settings after audyssey . .So, Ill just everything again and this time I won't touch any setting at all after calibration :)
@ playpoy
Same tayo ng experience. .Normal lang yan daw as posted above :) ako mga 65 ang listening levels ko lolz

After 6 months of tight schedule, I finally calibrated my RTi's . .I have 2 opinions on these speakers :
1.) Movies - Superb. Hands down the best speaker I have ever heard (had mordaunt short before) .
2.) Music - I do not know. I am really not feeling exactly what I felt running it with HD movies .
I have tried everything settings possible on my receiver that I know. But still, I am not getting the sound that "wows" me. I have a Klipsch Promedia 2.1 in my PC and the sound it produces "wows" me. Concert BD movies really sound good. However, Flac files; Audio Cd's; Mp3 and Etc really sound mediocre. So, does this mean that my Polk speakers are optimized for Movies?? Need help :(

I think if you use a stereo amp with your RTI's it'll probably wow you.

Did you audition the RTi's A7 before you bought it? I heard those connected to a stereo amp and a CD player and all i can say is wow.....

kumbaga, may ibubuga pa yan a7. i even remember stageA showing me the frequency response plot of the RTi A's, relatively close to flat which means na maayos talaga tumonog ang RTi, even the A1. so if paired with a good stereo amp, im sure you will hear big improvements on music.

Sub: 120hz at -10db
Bass: 0db
Treble : 0db
Dynamic EQ : On
Dynamic Vol: Off

Feeling ko mas ok yung setting plus in adjust ko po yung IntelliVol ko +10db as per manual pag mahina yung output nya.. sa ngayon po nasa 60 po yung volume ko.. :D Salamat salamat po sir.. ;)

Thanks mga experts :) It does not sound bad, it just can not compare to the output sound when playing movies. Yup, I did audition it. I am just using the onkyo 708. Aha!! so kailangan pala ng stereo amp. Thanks guys, this is really rocket science for me . . . hehehe

When you auditioned it, did you try listening to music? What was your impression listening to music during the time you are auditioning it? Is it same impression when you get home?

What listening mode are you using on your Onkyo when listening to your music?
I have best music sound when I listen using the "Pure Audio" mode.
I also tried the suggestions of the other members to set speakers to Large when in music mode.

Pag mga jazz at slow rock po yung music.. mas ok po sakin yung Music mode nya (Direct).. then pag mga hip hop rnb naman po mas ok yung settings sa taas..
By the way yung front po ginawa kong 80hz kasi feeling ko mas hirap yung speaker kapag naka 40hz sya. tapos yung subs ko parang wala pag naka 40hz.. then nun ginawa kong 80hz mas lumakas po sya.. bakit po kaya ganon?..

Di ako expert though ang pagka-alam ko for front speakers better yung higher ang settings like 80khz or nasa "Large" ang fronts mo para may bass din na pumapasok. Eto kasi ang advise ng mga audio shops.

Ahh . .mga experts anu ba ma recommend nio na external amplifier(as suggested above) for my speakers yung the best na amplifier?? :) Kasi Kahit nagresearch na ako, mahirap parin intindhin mga audiophile terms:(
Again . Here is my Polk setup all connected to an Onkyo TX-NR708
1.) RTi A7
2.) CSi A6
3.) FXi A4
4.) DSW PRO 500

For a stereo amp, I think the Marantz PM 5004 would match well with your RTI A7.

nasa wishlist ko ito e...
Mukhang mahirap yata hanapan ng ka-match na amplifier ang Polk RTI's ???

Sirs,
Im currently on an upgrade path and Im thinking about getting the RTi A5 floorstanders, Csi a6 center and RTi A1.. My typical AV "sked' is 80% movies and 20% music. I have an Onkyo 507 AVR.
What do you guys think?

I suggest you get the RTi A3's makakatipid ka pa..Kung gust mo talaga nang RTi's floor standers, i suggest you save up and get the RTi A9 instead..
Panalo sir ang A3's from Music to Movies.. Then paired with CSi A6 and A1.. I know sir kasi eto setup ko ngayon.. And like what i said if i will be getting the floor standers...A9 na...
-
I'm of the same opinion as Brader Courage. If you can do A9s, go for it. If you need a "rest stop", the A3 is the best IMHO. My fronts are A3s now but A9s are in my upgrade path. Honestly though I'm really very happy with the A3s, and I could settle with them. What is lacking in the bass is for me sufficiently made up for by the sub.
I've another question: how big a difference in performance are either of the FXi as compared to the RTi A1 for surrounds? Right now I'm using Wharfedales 10DFS and they seem ok. I'll of course change them, looks odd, but which ones: FXi or RTi?

FXi for me though they are more expensive.

kung for keeps, FXi definitely because talagang dedicated for surrounds yan (it has a switch for bipole dipole). but if you want flexibility, go for A1 because you can also assign them as front-high/wide, back surrounds or even as mains for stereo setup, and sa tingin ko mas madali ito ibenta kung sawa kana. :)

question po for the polkies here: for movies, which is better: tsi400 + cs10 or rti a3 + csi a4? :)
-

RTi's pa din ;D
If you like more base I think lamang dyan ang Tsi400 kasi floorstander and the 3 woofer drivers.
Pero sa clarity pabalo dyan ang RTi...

gandang hobby pala talaga audio :) mejo masakit lang bulsa . . .AS suggested , I need a stereo amp for better playback on my polks, cgro sa sunod, ipon muna :) Ang di ko lang gusto is if pag may stereo amp na lipat2 pa ng wires :( Di pa pwede ikabit nlng ang stereo amp sa receiver ?hehehehe
Anyways, keylangan ba talaga ang external amplifier ,???My onkyo 708 is listed as 110w per channel.
Sa kakasearch ko net, ang ganda ng emotiva Xpa-3 pero ala ata dito sa pinas :( Ang looks niya is dagdag pogi points hehe
-
question po for the polkies here: for movies, which is better: tsi400 + cs10 or rti a3 + csi a4? :)
I'll still stick to RTi's...SOund is clean, detailed and crisp....Kung kulang sa bass, mas madaling mag dagdag nang Low frequency kesa gawing detailed and crisp ang tunog in my opinion :)

Mga Tsip, so why not the A5 over the A3 if budget allows? Hindi ba sulit ang difference based sa cost-performance (especially in stereo mode)?
Hi Courage! How's the A6 matching with the A3? Hindi ba na-o-overpower ng center yung fronts? I like huge center speakers too BTW.
Thanks!
-
Mga Tsip, so why not the A5 over the A3 if budget allows? Hindi ba sulit ang difference based sa cost-performance (especially in stereo mode)?
Actually bro, we shouldn't make cost-performance comparisons between speakers of different levels. The higher levels will almost always loose to the lower levels when comparing cost-performance ratios because of the "Law of Diminishing Return" which basically says, "A 50% increase in performance will cost a 100% increase in cost". IMHO, if we make cost-performance comparisons we'd probably not be as happy as we actually can be. You always end up saying "sayang ang pera". The goal is to be happy, so IMHO, just get the best the budget will allow. So my answer to your question is "No, but if you can buy A5s with your budget get A5s .. if you can get A7s then get A7s, if you can get A9s then by all means get A9s ... you'll be happier".
Comparisons of cost-performance ratios between speakers of the same level are IMHO valid. The Polk RTi line is the winner for me.
How's the A6 matching with the A3? Hindi ba na-o-overpower ng center yung fronts?
My LCR setup is like Bro Courage's. I don't think A6 overpowers the A3s but an A4 might be sufficient. I got an A6 also considering that I've plans for A9s.
-
I've a new question. I have in mind A9s for my fronts but I'm finding that music is now occupying more of my usage. I'm actually quite happy with the A3s especially with the DSW660 now delivering the bass for music.
So the question now is might the a set of LSi 9s be a better choice? The cost of the LSi 15 is not far from that of the RTi A9, so LSi 15 for fronts might be worth considering too. For now never mind the fact that the LSi series are 4 ohms.
Marc, I think I'll need to compare these: A3+DSW660, A9, LSi9(+DSW660), LSi15 when I'm ready. I know you have a the LSi9, do you have the LSi15 in your shop?

Don't have the lsi 15. We have the lsi 7 on display and can easily order the lsi 9. The lsi 15 will be a special order. :)
-
The LSi speakers are lovely units in both sound and aesthetics. However, I don't think they would match with an RTi center as they are voiced very very differently (my opinion). If you're getting LSi L/R speaks, I suggest getting the LSi center as well.
-
... very very differently (my opinion).
How so Bro? Curious.

I think its called timbre matching... :)

But in movie-mode, the fronts are very much "effects" speakers only. I could be wrong but this is the dilemma of dual mode setups. For music, its all about the fronts. For movies, its mostly the center, and the sub.
I'll concede that there are some movies where the fronts play an important role but is fidelity that important?
Solution is to have two separate systems! There goes the budget :)

That's really the best option. Have. Separate system for your music. :) i suggest getting the Rti a9 to complete your home theater. Then, when budget permits, set up a system for your music. :)

Hindi naman na over power sir.. Actually in my comparison with the A4, the reason i choose the A6 is mas buo yung tunog nang A6, the voice doesnt sound like it's coming from the speakers but from the actor itself...Yung feeling na pag sinarado mo yung mata mo eh parang nasa harap mo yung nagsasalita...A4 is not bad it's actually very good mas maganda lang talaga para sa akin ang A6..

@CARLITOCOOL
I have an A3+A6 combo too.
I had the A4 for a couple of weeks, pero I felt 'bitin'. So I had it replaced with the A6. What I love about it is that since I'm mostly into movies, the center really plays heavily and it's good that I got this. I can hear and feel the weight of the sound. Parang ramdam Ko Yung material Kung wood or metals or rock siya. Truly a solid listening experience.
Also, down the road, I'm goal-setting an A9. Hehe..
@Masters:
I'm considering a T amp na din for audio.
Any recommendations for a match with the RTi A3?
Ok ba Yung Asa MP na 2020-20? It's about 3k.
-
Thanks mga gurus..
Napapaisip tuloy ako sa A3 + A6 combo just like bro Courage :D
mag A6 ka na bro if you have the space and if you plan on upgrading your L/R sa future, and the price difference is reasonable. mas safe purchase yan compared sa a4. ako pinili ko a4, kasi wala talaga paglalagyan and bedroom setup lng naman, plus less tempting on my part to upgrade to a floorstander and a bigger tv.hehe. goodluck ;D

Go for something more powerful to bring out the dynamic contrast in music. Check out the Dayton DTA-100a and equivalents (or higher).

New scenario guys: assuming that there will be no upgrade path for me, which is better between the two combos:
tsi500 + cs20
vs
rti a5 + csi a4
Nagbebenta ba ng tsi500 kay sir avshop if ever?
-
Sorry bro but I'll have to leave it to the others to comment between the two since I never auditioned the TSi series. I've a question though: do you already have a subwoofer or are you leaving it out?
-

Sir Stagea,

DTA-1 is only 12 watts per channel and is on the bright side, it needs to be paired with a warm sounding speaker. It also lacks in the bass performance. It's a very tiny amp though, it'll almost fit in your pocket (without the power adapter of course).

Good point, Mejo bright pa naman Yung RTi.
So between the DTA-1 and Tripath Ta2020-20, mas match Yung Tripath with RTi?
(",) Tama ba?
-
tsi500 + cs20
vs
rti a5 + csi a4
Unless you have very special needs, I suggest going for the latter. The higher series speaker will almost always sound better (granted that your gear matches them).
Sir Stagea,
What about the DTA-1?
My HT area is only about 3x3.5m
(",)
The reason why I said higher is because the lower models may sound good with some tracks, but they clearly lack weight and dynamics with others (especially at elevated levels). Listen to it and decide if it works for you.

I haven't listened to the TA 2020-20. Try asking Capital 1 if the sound is similar to the bigger TP 60 amp.

Mga Sir I have a DTA-1.. Ginagamit ko minsan with my A3.. For me ok naman yung quality nung t-amp considering na 12w per channel lang sya.. mas detail yung sound at malakas sya for its size. though you need to crank the volume up to 12 o'clock para makuha ko yung right volume kasi open yung living room namin... pero if nasa room naman mas mababa po siguro..

Thanks for the info dude!
I went ahead and got from Capital 1 a TA2020-20.
Biggest approval factor in choice was I was able to audition because I lived nearby.
Hehe..
I'm very happy with it though.
When I brought it home, I initially used my Media player with it. However I found it to sound a bit thin, but more detailed than my Onkyo 509.
I almost felt that I should have gotten the bigger amp. But when I got curious about the included cable (RCA to mini), I hooked it up to my MacBook Pro and the sound was great!
Now I'm really happy with it. I got it for just 3+k, but it feels like i could have paid more for the sound improvement I am experiencing.
Btw, I got to listen to the bigger version, and wow! Tama Si Sir Conan! Galing Ng sound detail.
Will include that in my list when we move to a bigger place in the future.

Kung passive biamp ang balak mo, the amps should be of equivalent voltage capability (unless you're current limited) para hindi sayang. The reason is that the weaker amp will clip before the stronger amp, since it is still amplifying the entire spectrum (unfiltered input).
Kung active biamp, okay lang na very different ang capability ng amps na gagamitin.
Just a tip: When looking at these small T-Amps, check out the power supply voltage if you're not aware of the model numbers. Typically, those that take in higher voltages (24V, 30V, etc.) are much more powerful than those that take in lower voltages (14V, 12V, etc.).
To those who had some experience with mobile audio, I'm sure you know the difference in dynamics between a head-unit powered system and a system powered by a more capable amplifier. The T-amps that run input feeds below 15V are about as strong as an unassisted car head unit. It can still sound good at moderate levels and/or with simple material (vocals, solos, etc.), but it will lack the weight, punch, effortlessness and dynamic capability of the stronger amp in more demanding conditions (unless you have very sensitive speakers).

Ha-ha, that was fast! It makes your speakers sound big due to it's power right? ;D
Yup! That is true!
Also, what Dennis showed me is that even in low volumes, the detail and punch is still there!
(",)
Even for the additional price, still worth more than I paid for in SQ.
Been comparing iPhone, media player and MBPro, manipis talaga yung first two compared to the MBPro.
May DAC ba ito na built in? Or is their sound card just good.
-
New scenario guys: assuming that there will be no upgrade path for me, which is better between the two combos:
tsi500 + cs20
vs
rti a5 + csi a4
Nagbebenta ba ng tsi500 kay sir avshop if ever?
Oo mayroon. AVShop in Kalayaan also offers the TSi500. I think they have an almost complete line of Polk Audio speakers.

@plapoy:
Sobrang ganda nung big bro na TA2022, I couldn't forget it..
So I went back and got it na!
Haha..
Pa-bday ko na Lang sa sarili!
Been listening to music all evening with wifey..
Dagdag romantic points pa!
Hehehe..
Nice sir.. haha.. ang bilis ng hapgreyd.. :D.. mas lalabas ang ganda ng tunog ng RTI jan..
Kung passive biamp ang balak mo, the amps should be of equivalent voltage capability (unless you're current limited) para hindi sayang. The reason is that the weaker amp will clip before the stronger amp, since it is still amplifying the entire spectrum (unfiltered input).
Kung active biamp, okay lang na very different ang capability ng amps na gagamitin.
Just a tip: When looking at these small T-Amps, check out the power supply voltage if you're not aware of the model numbers. Typically, those that take in higher voltages (24V, 30V, etc.) are much more powerful than those that take in lower voltages (14V, 12V, etc.).
To those who had some experience with mobile audio, I'm sure you know the difference in dynamics between a head-unit powered system and a system powered by a more capable amplifier. The T-amps that run input feeds below 15V are about as strong as an unassisted car head unit. It can still sound good at moderate levels and/or with simple material (vocals, solos, etc.), but it will lack the weight, punch, effortlessness and dynamic capability of the stronger amp in more demanding conditions (unless you have very sensitive speakers).
Salamat sa input sir Stagea.. this is very helpful on my part since newbie pa din ako sa mga gears.. for now i'm aiming to complete my RTI setup muna.. (A6+A1 na lang hehe.. ;D) then.. saka ko babalikan yan t-amp for pure audio naman.. ;)
-
Nice sir.. haha.. ang bilis ng hapgreyd.. :D.. mas lalabas ang ganda ng tunog ng RTI jan..
Hehe.. Nakakainis kasi nung Saturday afternoon..
I was listening to the TA2020-20 tapos etong tanong na ito ang nag-linger sa thoughts ko: "What if?"
Hahaha..
Yup! Buong-buo yung audio na naririnig ko with the Topping 60.
No more "what-if's?"...
..for now! (Yikes!)
-
My A3+A6+DSW660 set is probably broken in by now, and I can honestly say I'm hearing things I've not heard before. Galing!

@ Plapoy: Sir, wala pa po akong power meter pro interesado ako malaman consumption nito. Pag nakakuha ko ng omni watt meter, post ko agad un kinokonsumo ng hybrid amp. ;)

Mga brader, mamayang gabi kung pwede kayo libre ako mga 8pm onwards. Brader arcbodom dalhin na lang namin ni brader Stan dyan sa house mo yung power meter para marinig ko din yung napakagandang VK2100+A3 combo mo ;D

Hehe, sayang nga Ivan. Layo kasi naming mga probinsyano dyan sa syudad ;D
Natuloy ang mini EB namin nila brader Stan at Achbodom kagabi dito sa mini house namin :D
Isa lang masasabi ko sa Yaqin VK2100... WOOOWWWW!!!!! :o :o :o
Ngayon lang nakatikim ng ganung power yung RTi A3 ko. I can say na kahit anong speaker kayang kaya i-drive ng vk2100, kahit RTi A9 for sure mabubusog dito :D This amp can bring out the best to any speaker you will throw at it. We directly connected the analog L/R output of my Egreat S100 sa input ng vk2100. Vocals became clearer and "cleaner" compared to my Onkyo AVR set at pure audio. I could imagine how good LSi9 would sound when driven by vk2100... Instruments separation were very detailed, you could hear sa left and right channels kung anong instrumento and tumutugtog. Ramdam na ramdam namin bawat tipa ng guitara ng Indigo Girls sa Power of Two. The best part of this is yung power consumption. At 25% volume level ng vk2100 it draws at an average of 45 watts. At 30% nasa 60 watts but at this level babatuhin na kami ng kapitbahay namin. So this amp doesn't consume too much energy kaya hindi magsasuffer Meralco bill ;D
Anyone planning in getting a stereo amp? It is advisable to check this hybrid Yaqin out. If I have the budget I will definitely buy this in a heartbeat ;)

Brader Louie, maraming salamat sa paghost ng audition, ang sarap makinig sa place mo. Nahawakan at narinig ko na din un magandang center mo. :D Salamat sa power meter mo, ngayon mas tatagal pa pakikinig ko,mas kampante nako makinig di naman pala nangangain ng kuryente gamit un Vk2100 sa polk RTI A3. ;D at may concensus na about the very nice sound quality na naproproduce ng speaker na 'to using the mentioned amp.
OT: ..last tym natry din namin un amp sa MA RS6 ni bro stan,ganda din ng sound xempre. =)

Ulitin natin brader tapos maglopyahan tayo ng mga movies at audios :D
Maganda talaga brader yung MA's ni brader Stan. Narinig ko na din yun connected with Onkyo 606...
Ganda talaga yun especially sa audio. Warmer compared sa A3 and mas buo ang bass :)
See you soon braders!!! ;D

Excellent review brader louie didn't know that the yaqin vk2100 was only consuming 45watts at 25% volume, thats great news since I only listen at that range, pag nilakasan ko pa yari nako sa mga kapitbahay. :D
sayang talaga hindi ako nakasama sa EB ninyo kainggit naman. :) sa susunod sama ako makikikopya narin ako ng mga movies and audio.hehe ;)

Hopefully this coming months.
Cge sir if ibenta ko man yung A3s sabihin kita agad ;D

You can PM sir our Yaqin master Ivan aka Kemozavi ;)
-
Hi! Master Kemozavi,
Saan ba nakakabili nyang Yaqin at magkano?
Wala ba talagang tone control yan? Mahilig kasi ako magkalikot ng bass at trebel knob kapag nagpapatugtog. Not all my CDs are audiophile grade, though hindi naman pirated kaya lang I always feel that i need to tweak tone controls to suit my listening needs.
Di ba masyadong nagiinit ang Yaqin?

Hindi po ako si Master Ivan, but i'll just try to answer your queries :)
For the prices, you can check this thread http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,116980.0.html (http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,116980.0.html)
For audition you can visit Watts Hifi in Makati Cinema Square.
Yung Yaqin vk2100 I think is input selector and volume control lang ang adjustments.
Hindi naman sya nag-iinit unlike Onkyo AVRs...
Hope this helps ;D

sent you pm on this sir. :)
Brader louie thanks for helping out with the queries. :) btw na side by side mo naba yung rti with the studio 20? ano main difference nila sa sound? havent heard the studio 20 pero usually perception ko sa mga paradigm eh matarling sila tumunog? would you say the same with these models?

Hi brader Ivan. Hindi ko pa na audition side by side and Studio 20 and RTi A3 coz walang demo units ng Studio series coz order basis. Ang narinig ko na is yung Monitor Atom and it's on the bright side. Siguro around 2-3 steps lower than klipsch brightness. Pero I think Studio 20 will be warmer than A3, siguro kalevel ng LSi 9 ;D

Sir Louie, pa-apdate na lang pag nakuha mo ang Studio 20v5 kung ano ang character niya esp. sa music kasi I'm planning to replace my Polk Monitor 70 with Digm Studio 60v5 kaya lang hindi maka-demo sa mga av dealers dahil order basis ito as what Watt Hi-Fi told me ng mag inquire ako.

ok daw po sya sa music, music lover po ako,and im into alternative , blues , rock at heavy metal, bagay po ba yung rti a3 or a1 sa ganung music? at kaya po ba sila idrive ng fiio a1 digital amp?
ty sa makakasagot...apir!
You've come to the right place!
RTi A1/A3 is great for alternative/R&B/rock and heavy metal.
Once in a while I still listen to old school CDs of metallica/guns&roses. but most of the time, its classical/instrumental and jazz, tapos pag me party, Bed Manila house mixes from a friend who partly owns the club. the RTi A3 delivers everytime.
Of course if you want deeper and more powerful bass, better invest in a sub so 2.1 (stereo speakers+sub) ang labas nya - that's what I have at home since every so often me party dito sa bahay (perfect party speakers so to speak)
The RTiA1/3s are quite sensitive so kayang I-drive ng FiioA1 or DTA-1 for a small bedroom, pero a bit of caution, baka mabitin ka sa output ng fiio a1 when you want to get really loud sa sala or balcony.
As per checking on the net
Fiio A1 specs
Output power: 14W*2
Load Impedance: 4~8Ώ
SNR: ≧86dB( A weight)
Distortion: 0.06% （1W）
Frequency response: 10Hz-25KHz
Power supply: DC 12V 3.5A
Size: 166mm×96mm×56mm
Weight: 481g
What I would recommend is a 40-50W integrated amp to satisfy the inner rockstar in you.
why dont you come over here and listen to my setup before you commit to an RTiA. kaya nga nakabili si Didio ng 'cherry' dahil sa setup dito LOL

^ Rti As are indeed excellent speakers especially if partnered with the right amp. Mikeer is correct, try it out muna using your fiio before you decide to buy.

volcomstoner, swerte ka nga your amp can fit on the palm of your hand. as for me, I remember I have to lug around a 15kg amp to the various audio/vido shops when I was auditioning for my bookshelves, good thing magkakalapit sila sa park square, but i still ended up with a polk
anyway, since you have a handy amp,you have better range (pwede mo dalhin kahit saan) and options since di ka limited if you need to commute.

Ahahaha...exactly at buti na lang nanjan si sir Louie_18. Everyday i enjoy listening to my RTi A3 may it be on a low or high volume, it delivers my music perfectly. As mikee recommends a 40-50W amp can already drive well the RTi A3. I just use only 30W amp to drive my RTi and im quite satisfied with the sound quality and power it gives.
-
RTi A3 is A-ok... sings very nice, looks very nice.
;)

and as i have observed, unlike others speaks which are picky with amps, the RTiAs partner very well with most gears. I'm using it alternately with my onkyo and cambridge, which have very contrasting sound character, but to my ears they both sound superb.

I think it's partly because they're just so easy to drive (no major impedance dips and manageable phase angles), and partly because they have a fairly neutral character when aimed properly (clean and flat response for the most part, in both frequency and time domains). Most amps won't strain to power them, plus introducing less coloration makes it less likely for them to clash with the rest of the system's character.

Sir mikee,
thanks sa reply hehe..baguhan lang po ako sa hobby na to,galing po sa ATP3 na speaker..at naghihingalo na at gusto ng kapalit..kaya nga lang po ako bumili ng amp ,kasi may speaker na luma ang ang lolo ko ,hehe..di nya na ginagamit..(jbl control LA) ..tapos nagbasa basa ko sa net
at nakita ko si pinoydvd..kala ko po kasi mahirap bumili ng dayton..so fiio ang binili ko sa sns shangrila..
nung na-try ko sa speaker ..panalo!! ganda ng mids at highs..bitin lng sa bass..pero ok naman sa mga instrument at boses..kaya lang nung nabasa ko rti series..nacurious ako..kung ako e naoverwhelmed sa lumang speaker..panu pa kaya yung mga rti na dedicated sa sounds..waaaaah!
well ngaung nabasa ko na review coming from you na mahilig din sa rock at heavy metal..hehe..mag iipon na ko..haha..dati po kasi kong nagbabanda..at talagang mahilig sa musika..dating natugtog ngayun e nakikinig na lang hehehe...teka sir willing ka ba ipatest sa akin yung rti mo? hehe.taga-saan po kayo sir?..sana malapit ka lang sa alabang hehe..nang makatikim ng rti ang mobile ampli ko..thanks sir! apir!!

volcomstoner,
I'm from Pasay, a few steps from the Libertad LRT station, or 2 jeep /1 bus,1 jeep rides away from the alabang area.
I saw your post in the MA thread. I am a new owner of an MA B1 (the older sibling to the BR1/BX1) and its currently connected to the PC via the Marantz PM-45 amp.
I also owned an Altec-Lansing ADA-305 before letting it go just a few weeks ago,the Altecs have been my PC speaker since I got it 1994.
Anyway, the if you want to listen to the B1 too, sonic character is not that different from the BR1/BX1 although of course, the BR1 and BX1 are newer reincarnations of the B1.
If you are really interested in auditioning the RTiA3s/MA B1 here, just PM me for a date and when you want to go.

sir what is your personal conclusion po sa comparison ng rti a1 / bx2 / p162 from an entry level avr?
-
sir barricades, it's better to audition them. but let me share na lang din my listening experience, 2 channels set-up audition for BX 2 and P 162. mas madaling na-abot ng BX2 yung tunog na gusto ko, yung P 162 na-abot din nya. mas mataas ng around P 2 K ang presyo ng BX2. both are warm sounding speaker with good details and sound stage. i bought BX for HT but if budget permits ok din P 162 for audio. i have not tried the polk. i hope this helps.
:D
-
Finally, na audition ko na ang rti a3 sa av shop(salamat kay sir james ng AVshop )
Actually naudition ko rti a3 vs klipsch rb61 vs b and w685,
Using my fiio amp a1, ok naman lahat ng speakers ba ntry ko pero dahil rti thread to
Panalo ang rti..joke hehe..
Di po ako isang audiophile..lets say music lover lang kaya di po ako teknikal
Magsshare lang ako ng experience para sa mga gusto din makakakuha ng idea
using my fiio amp a1 (14W per channel)
using my ipod touch 4th gen,i played the song of Dream theAter (dance of eternity)
Rtia3- panalo sa instruments(litaw lahat) ,sa bass (dinig na dinig ko yung doublebass ni mike portnoy)
nakuha nya yung kapal ng tunog na hinahanap ko sa speaker pagdating sa riffs ng gitara
(especialy palm muting) kahit tinodo ko volume ng amp .di sya nakakstress
tinesting ko din sa ballad (with sarah mclachlan's angel) sakto lang naman
Klipsch rb61 - ok din sya,kayang kayang tapatan si rti , bright nga lang masyado,nung tinudo ko na volume
medyo parang nakakastress na kapag matagal papakinggan, pero ok syang speaker ,kailngan nya lang siguro ng amp na babagay sa kanya ..but when i tried to play (sarah mclachlan's angel) nainlab ako sa tunog..the best sya sa boses at mellow na tugtugan,orchestra siguro pwede din..basta bagayan to ng amp sisigaw ang klipsch rb61 ng the best na tunog
b andw 685--maganda din tunog nito ,parang rti a3 din sya, but using my amp parang bitin sya ,di ko na sya tinest masyado
kasi nabibitin sya sa amp ko,pero panalo din tong speaker na to it only needs a better amp,
tsaka isa pa wala na sya sa budget range ko hahaha..
yun lang po,inuulit ko di po ako isang audiophile,music lover lang,nagshare lng po ng ideas
pero sabi nga ng nakararami,kanya kanyang tenga yan,kanya kanyang preferences.kanya kanyang genre ng pinakikinggan, at isa pa matching talaga ng gamit nyo ang mahalaga,so bring your own amp ..hehe..
Ipon mode muna ko...salamat sa avshop..apir!! (sori sa mga paragraphs na magulo ,ipod kasi gamit ko pagcomment)
-
thanks for sharing sir volcom..
i have my rti a1 which i bought by one of our member here. i can say my system can sing well now i love it. it can drive my receiver flawlessly and i notice that the heat are lessen with the same volume that i played before in my previous speakers. my receiver is just an HTIB from onkyo, i can say that this speakers give less stress to my amps.
-
and as i have observed, unlike others speaks which are picky with amps, the RTiAs partner very well with most gears. I'm using it alternately with my onkyo and cambridge, which have very contrasting sound character, but to my ears they both sound superb.
Sir, i have an A3 connected to my Onkyo NR509. Yung A3 bago pa. Just bought it last Sunday lang ;D. Pansin ko medyo bright siya... ganun ba talaga? Gusto ko sana warmer ng konti.

Hi @Erbz.
We have the same setup.
Mejo bright talaga Ang A3 and Onkyo for music. Mejo manipis din yung sound.
I just added a tube buffer na Yaqin. It helped a lot.
I also changed my speaker wire to the flat Regza lalo pa nagging warm, but it tamed the mids.
If it's bright even for movies, have you done Audyssey calibration?
Lastly, it might be crunchy new pa. Keep using Lang muna. Hehehe..
Happy listening!
-
Been loving my RTi's everyday pakiramdam ko gumaganda nang gumaganda tunog nya each time i use it....

para sa akin hindi namn ganun kabright or baka nasanay ka lng sa mga warm/dark sound. anyway, the sq will still improve by giving it a few days of 'break-in period'. If it still doesnt improve to your standards, you can change speaker cables that are warm in character. paghindi pa rin, may LSi dyan na siguradong hindi bright ;D

@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!
-
Not familiar with the Denon but I used a Pioneer VSX-1019 and our Yamaha RX-V3800 to drive a very similar setup, and in both cases I did not find any problems. The RTi line is noted for is ease of driving.

actually i'm using the smaller brother of them the DTA-1.. with 15w.. kayang kaya pa rin nya idrive yung A3s ko.. even try using the yaqin tube buffer.. mas enchance yung soundstage nya.. un.. so kayang kaya pa rin ng APA at 100a yan.. ;)
-
hi sir how about a yamaha 467b, can it drive both the rti a3 and a4? thks
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.

Youre denon can easily handle that setup. I have exactly same setup except for the sub and amp.. Those speakers are easy to drive...

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

sir ask ko lang po sana opinion nyo if you were to choose between rti A3 and TSI 400.. anu yung mas worth it.

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.

mga sir kakakuha ko lang den ng RTI A3 and waiting pa ako sa center.. gamit ko is vsx 520 anu bang magandang upgrade sa receiver na hindi within 20-28 k budget po.
namili ako between, tsi 200/300, wharfedale 10.5 and rtiA3.. mas angat pala talaga ang rti A3, gamit ko kasi before eh diamond 9 series i thought na same level lang sila (dahil sa labas ng pinas eh almost same price sila dito lang satin ata mura wharfe) ... kaya tama pala na i audition muna ng i audition.
nagulat lang ako kasi ng i audition namin to kasama ko office mate ko.. sa S&S nung sa tube amp nila una grabe ang clarity ng voice sa rti pero nung i transfer naman sa onkyo na receiver medyu nag defrade halatang halata. ganun po ba talaga kayu difference between separate amp and receiver...

COngrats on your new RTi sir... We have same speakers.. Maganda talaga yan... Sir kahit sa Receivers mag iiba tunog nyan.. Right now my RTi's are being powered by Yammy and for me the sound is awesome compared when i was using my Harman with it. Ang layo nang difference. I also came from a Wharfe setup before the RTi's.
For music mas maganda talaga dedicated na music amp versus a receiver, though may mga receivers din naman na maganda for music..
-
What's your mix %movies versus %music? If mostly movies then I might suggest you upgrade to a Pioneer VSX-1020 or 1021. A Yamaha is also ok. Both sound good to me even for music. If audio-only then you might go for a tube amp or an nice integrated amp.
-
baka nga ganun na lang sir gawin ko pio vsx 1020... worry ko lang is same lang ang power per channel ng vsx 1020 sa 520.. sa features lang ata lumamang yung 1020.. by the way sir shielded ba tong RTIA3 kasi sobrang dikit to sa tv ko po eh.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/crayzard/IMG_0201.jpg)
need ko ng mas malaking tv rack kasi yung space para sa center speaker eh saktong sakto lang ang size sa gamit ko before na wharfe 9 cs.. baka hindi na kasya dyan yung CSi A4.

Do magnetic fields affected LCD TVs? I don't think so but I could be wrong. We had our A3s beside a plasma and I did not notice any effect.
On the matter of power, our 1019 did very well on the A3. I only probably ran it to 70% at the very very most. Try running the your A3 as high as you can - this should give you an idea of what kind of power you need.

LCD/LED/Plasma TVs are not affected by magnetic fields unlike with CRTs/ Rear projection TVs (old school using tubes)

You're welcome cray
Actually, that warning is still true if you are using CRT TVs (an old Sony XBR2 in the guest room / or a simple CRT TV in maid's room for example and you want to put speakers beside it)
but if all the TVs in your household are already DLP/LCD/LED/Plasma, then this caution no longer holds water.

I also suggest you buy/DIY build a stand for your A3s. ;)

good day guys! ano magandang int amp for rti a3? Meron na ba nag compare sa rti-a3 tsaka yung psb image b6?

That really depends on your sonic preference. The RTi A3 is very easy to drive, so most amps would do well driving this model.
Both the A3 and the B6 measure very well, with the B6 being a little harder to drive. The B6 has a more rounded and sonorous sound, which would appeal to people who like their music relaxing and downtempo. The A3 produces a slightly forward and caffeine-infused sound, for those who like to emphasize detail, impact and pace.
Despite these characteristics, how the system works as a whole will matter more than the individual performance of each device in general.

sir stagea how does the rti A3 match with the yaqin vk2100? mellow ba or detailed?

I wouldn't count on the VK2100 for a mellow output, unless you partner it with dark-sounding gear. Mix and match, then choose what tickles your ears.

Already heard A3 + vk2100 combo and an up tempo type of music will benefit with this. This will also bring the bass out of the A3 ;)

@cray:
I'm using Rti A3 for Jazz music.
My setup is Flac via Mac/PC -> Dayton DAC -> Yaqin Cd2 buffer -> Topping TP60 then RTi A3.
Very malambing Ang sound and "heavenly".. Hehe..
Just in case you want to consider other options. (",)

Sorry newbie sa audio setup. Sa mga gumagamit ng tamps for purely music, paano if you will watch movies? Do you rewire the speakers from tamps to avr? Or may hardware to do away with rewiring if you want to use tamps or avr? Thanks

Sir, I have a separate cable na naka "abang" for audio only and for HT.
I got them separate banana plugs as well so that it's easier to plug and unplug.
I know there are switchers around pero, I remember reading that adding another device in between the source signal and the speakers may affect the fullness of the sound.
Masters, feel free to chime in and correct me if I'm wrong. Just sharing my experience. Hehehe..

Hehe.. nag Amazon shopping ka din???
Mine's arriving on the 29th pa.. Onkyo 809 naman na amp.
Pero I'm using A3's lang and A6 as center.
Nakaka bitin ang antay.
Tapos I found out this morning that it is already in our house there..

Ano po maganda imatched sa rti a3 na receiver? 80% movie 20% music. Thanks

As many have testified, the RTi A3 is a very easy speaker to drive so any decent receiver will do well. I used to have a Pioneer VSX-1019 which is the elder sibling of the 1020 and 1021. I would not be surprised though if the lower models of this line would do very well too.

Hi! Before getting my Onkyo 509, I was able to test it with a Denon AVR. If you're going to use it mostly for movies, Onkyo is a more suitable choice. The movie audio is crisper and for me, not too heavy on the mids.
But the best thing and fun thing to do is head on to avshop care of Marc and have a "blast" picking out the right receiver to pair with your beautiful speakers and your personal listening preference.
-
How about matching it to onkyo 609? or yamaha A800? will these speakers will do good on it?.

Yes, these AVRs are capable, actually more than capable. (",) the BIG question, does it suit your listening taste, your planned use for it and also your room dimensions.
Pagdating sa audio equipment, malaking bagay mag-audition (",)
Our local retailers would be more than willing to assist you. Ive had great experience with AVShop and SNS. Schedule ka Lang with them. (",)

I have no separate room for the hts.. Open room lang nakalagay un plasma tv namin.. Specifically sa sala lng namin.. 6.7m length and 1.8m width ung sala namin.. Will the Onkyo 609 will be enough to power up the rti a3 speakers for movie purpose with this dimensions of our sala? 5.1 setup lang gagawin ko since sa open space ko lng ilalagay un AV at speakers.
-
Rti A3 or Tsi 300/400? 2.0 setup first then plan for 5.1 piece by piece later as budget allows.

Based from experience maganda ang Onkyo at Yamaha sa movies when paired with RTi series ;)
You will not go wrong with either ;D

I'm using Yamaha for my RTI's.. And i'm loving it evertime i'm using it. I demoed my system to my wifes friend husband who's a DJ and he was impressed on the setup.. Music and movies.. now he want same setup he he he

Ok din ba ang Denon AVR-1912 para dito sa Rti?
:)

I also have solid satisfaction with my RTi As powered by Onkyo and Yamaha for movies and music respectively.

Hey guys! I unearthed a Pioneer VSX 454 Stereo amp in some old stuff my dad left me. It's still working and I would want to try it out with my RTi A3's. How do I connect it? It has L-R Speaker connection, but I also noticed that it has a speaker connection that's labeled A-B for L and for R.
Can I use this with my RTi's?
I'll try connecting this configuration: Source->Yaqin CD2 -> Pioneer VSX 454 -> RtiA3
-
Hi JC, isn't the A-B for two pairs of speakers? meaning, speaker set A and set B
Do correct me if I'm wrong, researching on this forum has jumbled all my brain cells. @_@

Yun nga e.. I'm clueless.. hehehe..
I was thinking of this connection:
Amp (A) L -> RTi L (High)
Amp (A) R -> Rti R (High)
Amp (B) L -> Rti L (Low)
Amp (B) R -> Rti R (Low)
What do you guys think? Or should I just use the standard connection? Hehehe..

Guys, update lang!
Ang ganda ng tunog with the RTi A3's. I'm comparing it vs the 509, manipis yung Onkyo. The Pioneer VSX454 is meatier, fuller yung sound but a little sharp yung highs even with the yaqin cd2 buffer.
Pero, at 25% on the volume knob, it's pretty solid sound from this old amp. I think this stereo amp is 120+W per channel.
Only thing is I think I have to have it cleaned inside and out. May mga erratic na crackle and hiss.
If you guys could suggest a place where I can bring this for cleaning, I would really appreciate it.
Galing ng RTi A3's.. Can't wait to test this with the Onkyo 809.. 21 more days to go!

Bro, you have to also factor in the following:
1.) US Tax, this will depend where you will have it shipped in the US from Amazon.
2.) No Local Warranty, but I heard you can have it serviced here at a premium price.
3.) 110V, you would have to get a transformer or a Voltage Regulator with 110V.
4.) International shipping, not everyone can get their amp shipped for free. My family actually gave up a balikbayan box worth of possible pasalubong to bring this with them.
When you add all this, it may come out cheaper or more expensive in the long run. In my case, after factoring all these in, it came out cheaper. Kaya go ako.. and kaya tuloy, still waiting ako.. hehehe..

1. If it is shipped to California, how much dow you think the US tax will be? - let say I use the pobox shipping to deliver here in the PHL.
2. Yah, i think there's a service center for Onkyo electronics here in PHL.
3. Not so much problem with that.
4. For the international shipping I think the total cost will be less than 100$.
So, summing up with these fees and charges, it is much cheaper nga if you order in the Amazon. Hoping that the AV you get is in very good condition. :) kelan ba dating ng sayo? ngaun kac the 809 is priced at 699$ eh. sana next year mejo bumaba na. hahah

I'll save you the suspense, A3 with 809 is superb! Yan na lang muna baka sabihan mo ko ng KJ eh :)

any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

I would say a good sub, properly tuned, would do wonders for your system's SQ. So it isn't just sars you might want to limit your budget for the sub to about the cost of the A1s :).

adding a sub would be a good option.. if you dont want to empty your pockets, try to audition a DIY subwoofer with your A1's and see if it suites your taste. ;)

i live in a condo and the main living area is only 9 square meters (living/dining/kitchen area is only 21 square meters). I intend to only have a 2.1 setup. Im eyeing NAD 316 BEE integrated amplifier, Polk Audio RTI A3 and a subwoofer (care to recommend a musical subwoofer with a price of not more than 30k)? is this okay already? I will be using the system 100% for music as i am quite picky in music and do not pay attention so much in movie playback. thanks.

i tried using my portable set up sa a3 ko.. (ipodtouch4thgen + fiio lod + fiio E11 portable amp)
tinesting ko lang kung may epekto ang signal nya kapag sa speaker na malaki..
my avr is denon dra685...
eto epekto..i think.. (im no audiophile) music lover lang..
1. nadagdagn ng mga 20% na lakas ng sound..(dati kong 12 oclock sa volume..nakakaya na sa 9 oclock)
2.mas solid yung bass..
3.gumanda ang imaging..
kung meron kayo portable amp sa mga ipod or any audio portable player..try nyo din..hehe..share ko lang po..

if your getting a polk audio Rti Bookshelf, pair it up with either of the following polk subs:
- DSW pro 440 - 8 inch sub
- DSW pro 550 - 10 inch sub
- DSW pro 660 - 12 inch sub
All models are less then p30,000

Try and read about sealed subs, particularly the SVS SB12NSD. Start in the below link.

I played around with this setting but eventually settled with 80 Hz. The A3 has a 50 Hz 3dB limit so having the AVR set to 80Hz does not let the A3 play its full range. When playing music, I set our AVR to either "straight" or "direct" which disables the 80Hz.

Depending on your room size and how loud you play, you can also try the following HPF settings with your 608:
A3 ~ 60Hz
A6 ~ 60Hz
A1 ~ 70Hz
You can play with the sub's relative polarity afterwards to ensure that cancellation is minimal around the crossover frequency.

Just wondering ... what are the consequences when frequencies a speaker will block are still sent to it?
-

Huh? Could you expound further?
-
Just curious Bro. HPF, I take it means "high pass filter". The setting value we use is the lower frequency limit for the signals that will be sent to the speakers. In other words, any signal with a frequency below the set value will not be amplified and sent to the speaker. Is there anything wrong with sending all frequencies?

The quoted frequency value for most filters is the F3 point of the filter, meaning it already subtracts some from frequencies above the quoted frequency for a high pass filter. It continues to drop the output below the quoted number, but it does not completely eliminate the output below the said frequency.
Here's a graphical representation of its effect:
(http://www.play-hookey.com/ac_theory/images/hi_pass_1st_order_freq_response.gif)
This is a first order filter (6dB/octave slope) with an F3 point of 1kHz. In this case, there is still some output at 100Hz and even at 10Hz. Frequencies as high as 10kHz may even be slightly diminished, because of the shallow slope.
Most AVRs implement a 2nd order or higher/steeper HPF.
Is there anything wrong with sending all frequencies?
It will still work, but you'd likely experience greater distortion as the speakers have to do much more (unless we're talking about a system with lofty limits). In the case of eliminating an active HPF (like in an typical AVR), the amp would also have to do far more at the same volume level. Remember that lower frequencies are also of a greater amplitude at the same intensity level, which means the workload becomes exponentially more demanding as you ask your gear to play lower.
-
So correctly setting the HPF will result in less distortion at the speakers and less strain on the amplifier. Thanks!

Yes, except in cases wherein the filter implementation is poor and the speaker / amp are capable of much more.
In your case, the A9s can run a very low HPF (they can even run full range, as long as you don't demand too much volume). The rest of your speakers would likely perform best with an HPF applied.
-
Is there a rule of thumb for setting the HPF based on the lower 3db limit of the speakers?
-

No, it's a mixture of your room, your speakers, your sub, your amp capacity, and your listening material/level. If the sub can play high and it's positioned well, you can run a higher crossover point without much localization. If you have an inadequate amp, even if your speaker can play low, you shouldn't cross low. etc. It's a complex equation that's best served with good judgement, trial and error, and some luck.
Generally, you'd like to put the HPF above the -3dB point. 1 octave above or more, even with the best equalization, if you want a maximally flat output (unless you're following THX guidelines and are using THX-adherent gear) to prevent the out of phase port output from meddling.
In most cases, I set it about 1/4 - 1/2 octave higher than the -3dB point as a compromised starting point, if the speaker and the speaker amp are adequate, and the sub can handle the redirected frequencies. Tapos tweak up/down from there na lang depende sa results. This seems to work fairly well with most reasonable systems in less than ideal (typical) rooms.
-
Thanks again. I guess I'll just mount the speakers then have AVR do the equalization :).

Hi mga masters.. Question lang... I'm currently using OWM3 as surrounds.. I'm planning to upgrade to FXI A4 or A6 to match my RTI A3 fronts and A6 Center...
Questions is: Malaki ba iimprove ng sounds if I upgrade to FXI A4 / A6 for my surrounds? Or do you suggest using RTI A1 instead para mas makatipid?
TIA
-
Don't really know about the OVM3 but I just upgraded from RM9 to FXi A6. The improvement was vast. Hope this helps.
-

Thank you sir... I think the OWM3 is usually matched with the Polk TSI Series... The only thing that holds me back in getting the FXIA6 is the price.. I just need to convince myself more that it really is worth it..
I've read din dito na the difference is night and day when you have matching fronts, center and surrounds... so konti nalang talaga... Magagasgas nanaman ang Credit Card ko... :)
I'm also planning to change my receiver from HK 260 (Local) to Onkyo 809 (US Version)... Any comment on this sir? Some say that Onkyo is too bright for the RTI's.... But some say din na it's a very good match.. Ok na ba ako sa current set-up ko? D kasi ako ganun kasatisfied e.. baka settings lang kasi problem or yung source...

The basic rule is "audition, audition, audition". This is because it is really up to you. HOWEVER, if for some reason you can follow the basic rule, my 2-cents is stick to the the same line or at least the same brand.
Unfortunately, I can't help you on the Onkyo being a Yamaha fan myself, at least when it comes to HT.

Thank you sir... I haven't tried Yamaha... What Yammy would match our RTI's? I'll try to audition it after the Holy Week.. Budget is Around 30 to 35k max.. I'm open to second hand units... thanks..
-
Before upgrading, we were actually using a Pioneer VSX-1019 - generally the 1019 did well enough but it was a bit bright for my taste. I've heard a Yamaha RXV-2600 with a pair of A3s and it was great so I decided to get a Yamaha when I upgraded to RTi floorstanders.
With your budget, I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding a good 2nd hand Yamaha receiver. If you do not plan to upgrade to larger speakers then I suggest you get something medium power but feature rich.
Good luck.

ive decided to go for rti being a polk fan since i started in this hobby. now im rebuilding my HT im torn between the A7, A5 and A3. i do intend to use it mostly for HT 90% and 10% music and i intend to power it with my 809. center for sure i want the A6 and currently have the svs plus ( will go dual plus i hope sometime soon ) i always run my system with the audy on and set all speakers to 80hz and let my subwoofer handle all the lows. is it advisable to go for the A7 knowing that the pair comes in 4 woofer, 2 mid and 2 tweets. i feel like if i go for the 7s im not really utilizing everything since i dont make the woofer work with my settings. or should i just go for the 5s comes in set of 4 mids and 2 tweets. also according to the polk website most of the users said the 5s got better mids compared to the 7s. or should i just go for the 3s? will it be enough? my room is about 28-30sqm. comments and advice will be truly appreciated. thanks! :)

Why don't go for the A9 instead... ;D
Heard this before sa avshop and it was amazing. Laki ng difference nya with A7 ;)
-
I think it's because Bro Ultimatedls' program is "90% HT 10% Music" and he has a sub. Our program is probably "50% HT 50% Music" which is why our system has to be good at both and we ended up with the A9.
Best is to try both combos out A5 w/ sub and A7 w/ sub on your favorite material. I spent a good amount of time auditioning all RTi models. The funny thing with the RTi series, at least to my ears, is that once you consider the A5 and have bang-buck a top priority then you end up with the A9 ... fantastic price-performance engineering IMHO. So before you decide I suggest you listen to the A9? If there are constraints that rule out the A9 then go for the A7.
-
Master Dennis,
I think the A5 will fill your room just fine, and is a great choice at that price range. As Louie and Allan mentioned however, the A9's imposing size and its top to bottom range also make it a good candidate.
-
I'm sure the A9 would sound great but will I be needing all the extra woofers? since I want my subwoofer handle all the lows.

You don't really 'need' it. It's just good to have in case you'd like to run a lower cross or to run them full range later on. Something to play with when you're bored (LOL).
Since you plan to route the bass to your sub, I'd assume that the A5 can deliver sufficient motivation for your room. It also plays low enough to make your 80Hz transition very smooth. The drivers seem to be identical to those used in the A6, which may be an added plus for you. :)

Nice activity idea! I've been running the A9 full range - AVR "Bass Out" set to "Both" (front & sub) with a 80 Hz crossover and all effect speakers set to small as suggested in another thread. Just now, I set the AVR "Bass Out" to "SWFR" (subwoofer only) but with a crossover of 40 Hz ... 9 am should be late enough in the day to watch "Battle Los Angeles" :).
-
I remember having the klipsch F3 before having dual 8 woofer I never tried different settings I just run audy and set all xover to 80hz (THX) except for the subs and that's it. for me soundtrack is more alive like that. That's my preference. :)

Polk Audio RTi A1 Loudspeakers
Review on WWW.SOUNDSTAGE.COM
Every now and then, while performing research on a piece of review equipment, I stumble on interesting bits of information that make me sit back and think, "Huh. How ’bout that!" A case in point: I was surprised to learn of the origins of Polk Audio, and how the company has come to be a keystone brand of home-audio equipment.
In 1971, university buddies Matthew Polk, George Klopfer, and Sandy Gross were asked to produce a sound system for a bluegrass convention in Baltimore, Maryland. Polk, being a physicist, said he’d design the system if Klopfer, then a cabinetmaker, would build the enclosures. Hands were shaken and a sound system built. But following the convention, the three were told that the producers couldn’t afford to pay for it. Klopfer designed a logo and attached it to the speakers, Gross took on the role of marketing, and, in 1972, Polk Audio was born.
Concentrating for a while on professional sound equipment, Polk Audio later focused its attention on high-end audio gear for the home. After the success in 1974 of their first model, the Monitor 7, Polk began to earn an excellent reputation in audiophile communities, and in 1999 the company went public. Today, Polk Audio offers a vast array of audio products, ranging from stereo and home-theater speaker systems to car and marine equipment. In the middle of their home-audio speaker range is the RTi series, which comprises three floorstander, two center-channel, and two bookshelf models. It is the smaller bookshelf speaker that I review here: the RTi A1 ($339.95 USD per pair).
(http://www.soundstage.com/equipment/pics/201003_polk_rtia1.jpg)
Technically . . .
. . . the RTi A1 is a magnetically shielded, dual-ported, two-way bookshelf speaker with a 1" silk/polymer-composite dome tweeter, a 5.25" polymer/mineral-composite mid/woofer, and two ports: one each on the front and rear panels. Housing all of this is one of the most impressive cabinets I’ve seen on a stand-mount offered at this price or even quite a bit north of it. To my knowledge, Polk Audio is currently the only manufacturer offering real-wood veneers (Natural Cherry or Black Oak) on a $340/pair minimonitor -- the RTi A1’s look is one of luxuriously high quality. Looking under the impressive skin of this cabinet, I discovered that it’s built using Polk’s Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate Isolation (DAHLI) design technology, which is used throughout the entire RTi line. DAHLI -- basically, six layers of MDF separated by five layers of viscous damping material -- is said to create optimal sheer damping (OSD) to help eliminate cabinet colorations. In addition, the RTi A1’s cabinet is internally braced, and has tapered side panels to further reduce internal resonances.
The front port, just below the mid/woofer, uses a technology Polk calls Acoustic Resonance Control, which takes advantage of the cabinet’s internal resonance created by the back wave of the driver. Polk matches in frequency this form of cabinet resonance with the front port’s tuning frequency. Since the port’s and the cabinet’s internal resonances are out of phase, peak resonances within the cabinet are canceled, resulting, it’s claimed, in a more natural sound with reduced midrange distortion.
The rear port, behind the tweeter, uses what Polk calls their PowerPort technology. Essentially, it’s a long, flared port with a dispersing cone mounted just past its end. This reduces turbulence in the air exiting the cone, thereby diminishing port noise, or "chuffing," while providing deeper, cleaner, more authoritative bass.
In designing the mid/woofer and tweeter, Polk used a process called Dynamic Balancing, in which a laser is used to study the components of the speaker at a microscopic level, in order to reduce or eliminate behaviors or artifacts that color the sound. Finally, another process, Klippel Optimization, was employed to ensure that the RTi A1 offered balanced yet dynamic sound at both low and high volumes.
All of these technologies came together to help this little bookshelf -- it measures only 12"H x 7.38"W x 11.5"D -- reach as low as 60Hz, -3dB, while maintaining an efficiency rating of 89dB. Such performance somewhat belies this minimonitor’s small size and affordable price.
Setup
I set up the Polk RTi A1s in my 13’ x 25’ listening room on a pair of 24"-high stands, each positioned 1’ from the front and side walls. Power was provided by an Arcam A18 integrated amplifier delivering 50Wpc through River Cable Starflex speaker cables, and all recordings were played through a Denon DVD-5910CI universal player connected via River Cable Audioflex Gold Plus analog interconnects. I toed-in the RTi A1s so that their tweeter axes crossed about 1’ in front of my listening position, which allowed me to lean forward and compare their sound on- and off-axis.
Listening
When I listened to "Train Wreck," from Sarah McLachlan’s Afterglow (CD, Network 30322 2), the bass was well controlled and rhythmic, and managed to do a surprisingly believable job of anchoring the soundstage. I was surprised because I had to keep reminding myself that there were only two 5.25" mid/woofers were providing all the bottom end I was hearing. Had I been less familiar with the speakers and had someone told me that there was a 6.5" woofer behind each grille, I might just have bought it.
Voices were slightly more forward than I’m used to hearing from my B&W DM601 S3s, and were delivered in a full, coherent manner that placed McLachlan at dead center stage. Changes in vocal texture and volume were clearly perceivable in softer passages, showcasing the RTi A1’s terrific microdynamic abilities. At higher levels, the Polk sounded remarkably uncolored and detailed, and showed no sign of stress. In fact, one of the little Polk’s greatest virtues was its ability to paint the same sonic picture equally well at volumes low and high. Anyone living in an apartment or condo will appreciate a speaker that doesn’t lose midrange subtlety when played at lower volumes.
I then moved on to B.B. King & Friends: 80 (CD, Universal 6 02498 84246 1). "The Thrill Is Gone" was a logical choice to audition next with the volume level left high -- who listens to the blues quietly? The RTi A1s delivered a wide, holographic soundstage that was remarkably three-dimensional on axis, and only slightly less so off axis. Instruments and voices were delivered with fantastic realism and space, each clearly occupying its own place on the stage. I was impressed by how easy it was to distinguish the different layers of the music, and how well they corresponded with the depth of the soundstage. Had I been given a bird’s-eye view of the stage, I could quite easily have mapped out where each instrument (and B.B.) was positioned.
However, the electric guitar on this track sometimes sounded a bit too sharp in pitch. This tended to worsen as the volume increased, but it was subtly tamed by replacing the grilles. This could be due, in part, to the fact that the grilles used on all RTi speakers were designed to reduce diffraction in an effort to provide a more natural sound.
In "The Night We Called It a Day," from Diana Krall’s The Look of Love (DVD-A, Universal 6 02498 61248 4), the singer’s voice was marvelously focused and positioned at high center stage. Piano notes were wonderfully articulated and filled the air, with a terrific tonal balance not typically heard through a minimonitor in this price class. That the RTi A1 was handling transients well was evident in the snappy sound of the cymbals and the level of detail audible in the sound of brushes slid over the snare-drum head. This speaker was no stranger to the resolution of fine details, especially when fed a hi-rez signal. But with this track the showstopper was, again, the bass response. I’m not sure how Polk has done it -- perhaps a slight increase in midbass output, or all the technology poured into the exemplary cabinet design -- but the bass sounded as if produced by a much bigger bookshelf speaker, or even a small tower model. I got up to recheck the speakers’ placements, just in case I’d accidentally moved them slightly in setup and thus stumbled on a hitherto unknown sweet spot in my room. Unfortunately, I hadn’t; fortunately for the rest of the world, the RTi A1 was that good.
Finally, I moved on to an old favorite, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon (SACD/CD, Capitol 82136 2), and listened to "Us and Them." Once again, the highs were detailed and extended, with realistic amounts of space between instruments and voices. Nor did the "air" evident in the subtler passages disappear during the intense choruses, the result being a clear, dynamic presentation of a track that can sometimes sound rather congested through lesser minimonitors. While the bass line wasn’t quite as compelling as with other recordings, I didn’t find it lacking much -- the low frequencies were rolled off in just the right place, to imply what was missing. From so small a monitor, what more can you ask?
Pesky peers
While reviewing the RTi A1, I had on hand another pair of similarly priced, albeit slightly older bookshelf speakers: the B&W DM601 S3 ($450/pair, discontinued). The DM601 S3’s larger (6.5") mid/woofer is housed in a cabinet roughly 20% larger than the RTi A1’s, but, as the Polks have reminded me, size isn’t everything. For most people shopping in this price category, a speaker’s appearance will be nearly as important as its sound, and this is something that Polk Audio has acknowledged. With its real-wood veneer, smoothly tapering side panels, and modern-looking grille, the RTi A1 wins my vote in the looks department.
I began my listening to the B&W DM601 S3s at lower listening levels, with Leahy’s eponymously titled album (CD, Virgin 564147). The first thing I noticed in "The Call to Dance" was the B&Ws’ lack of low-level detail. These speakers didn’t seem to come alive until I gave them some power. This could be in part due to the fact that, at 88dB, the DM601 S3 is slightly less efficient than the Polk (89dB), but it would surprise me if this were the only reason. The Polk, on the other hand, offered a nicely balanced sound regardless of volume level. Turning up the gain to give the B&Ws the power they needed brought things to life, albeit with a more relaxed sound. Leahy’s fiddle in "McBride" had a smooth, fluid, texture through the B&Ws that was very easy to listen to, whereas it sounded a little sharper and definitely more forward through the Polks -- similar to the electric guitar I’d heard earlier on the B.B. King disc. I wouldn’t say that one was better than the other; they were just different.
Listening to the title track of Katie Melua’s Call Off the Search (CD, Dramatico 0000266612), I was instantly struck by how coherent and alive her voice sounded through the Polks. Here, the RTi A1’s slightly forward rendering of female voices made Melua’s almost leap from the speakers, creating a genuinely involving and dynamic sound. The image focus was tight and clean, especially of the oboe, which seemed to float slightly above right center stage. The bass was smooth and punchy, and reached just low enough to not leave me wanting more. The B&W DM601 S3 lacked the Polk’s focus and dynamics, but offered a little something extra in the bottom end that prompted me to pump up the volume another notch or two.
Here things got really interesting: the B&Ws began to sound midbass-heavy, almost boomy, and lost the smooth richness and control they had at lower volumes. Pushing the Polks hard gave me none of the hassles the B&Ws did; the RTi A1s kept their excellent composure while delivering very much the same quality of sound -- just louder. I have no doubt that this is in part due to their exemplary cabinet design, which allows the components within to do their jobs properly.
Conclusion
Since 1974, Polk Audio has earned a reputation for building high-quality loudspeakers such as the RTi A1s, and for holding dear a few fundamentals. First, they understand that a good speaker, be it stand-mount or tower, must provide performance with two-channel music that is as compelling as it is with surround sound. After all, most average consumers who purchase home audio equipment will have it pulling just such double duty. Second, all of this performance and versatility must be offered in an attractive package at an affordable price.
The Polk RTi A1 offers an impressively wide soundstage filled with convincingly solid bass performance, tremendous dynamics, well-focused voices, and a clean, detailed top end. If you’re in the market for a speaker package that offers you a huge bang for your buck, I highly recommend auditioning a pair.

Bro di ako nangungulam... Sinasabi ko lang na mas gusto ko tunog nang A9... and noticeable ang diff nya from A7, Maganda rin ang A7 bro.. pero if in case A7 talaga bibilhin mo.. wag mo na audition ang A9... Sariling kulam ang mangyayari sayo pag ginawa mo yun he he he

Buti na lang ala stock niyan mga modelo ng polk na suggest niyo sa kukunan ko kaya A7 na lang ako. Saka masyado ng mahal yan saka 15sqm lang yung room tapos gagawin ko pa 7.1 or 7.2 so sa tingin ko ok swak na yung A7, CSI A6, FXI A6 and A5 with SVS PB12. ;D ;D

Yeah Bro, we're using a Yamaha RX-V3800.
I have not auditioned the LSiM extensively but I did have a chance to compare bookshelf models of the three lines: LSiM, LSi and RTi. RTi still the best based on performance/price, and I still like the LSi over the LSiM.
Kung A5 over the A3, if you've a tight budget, you might consider putting the additional mulah into a second or higher model sub, or maybe something else. The A5 only adds a second driver for the midrange and bass. I think you'd get better results having your AVR relieve your front of delivering the lows thus being able to do the midrange better, and having your sub(s) do the bass.

Thanks sa info brader taga san ka ba brader? I have 2 weeks pa naman i can bring may aventage to test on your setup. You have point on the second sub maybe a NB12 or PB12 gawin muna 5.2 then 7.2. ;D ;D

We're located in Cainta Bro however sorry to say but I'm not inclined to switch in your Adventage as that would be a major operation. You are most welcome though to listen to our system as it is. But who knows I may just have upgraded to a A2010 or A3010 by then :) ... mostly just wishful thinking.

Kung maliit lang ang area, you would not benefit much from a 7.1 or 9.1 setup, i tried it and ended up with a 5.1. I suggest that you stick with a 5.1 or 5.2 setup and invest with a good L/C/R combination. The RTi A9 or the FS from the LSiM Series would be a good option.

The Polk Audio RTi Series should sound great with rotel amp.
sir Sanjay, i am now a proud owner of RA06SE and RTiA3 thru HRT MS2. first impressions, they sound very detailed just what i was looking for. :) my question is, would the bass response still improve further after break in? thanks..

Problema lang is wala kasi stock ng LSIM and RTI A9 na bnew. Meron man display na with some dent as per my contact. kaya ill stick to RTI A7 na lang wala din daw plan na mag stock ng LSIM and A9 kasi new brand naman daw introduce. Saka di naman ako mag 7.2 agad mag 5.1 muna ako tapos 5.2 the 7.2. :D :D

Actually any receiver can drive it with no problem, kaso you will not get the Speakers full potential..
Actually kahit yung RTI ko, iba tunog nung inaudition ko sa AVSHOP using their expensive stereo AMP compared sa receiver only..
This is also the reason why people even with their powerfull receiver still uses power amps connected to their receivers pre out..
Sampol na dyan si pareng Louie.. ang lakas lakas na nang receiver nyan pero gumagamit pa yan nang AMP...
Also mas maganda pa rin ang dedicated stereo amp for music vs receiver..

+1 having a stereo amplifier for pure music listening is way way better than a receiver.. :D

Yes they do.. actually isasabit mo lang sya.. So you cant tilt or turn it.. Naka diretso lang sya pag yun ang ginamit mo.. Di katulad nyan na pwede mo i tilt and i turn left or right if in case gusto mo nakatapat sayo speakers..

The RTiA1 / A3 has its own mounting bracket (Via the powerport plate - keyhole mount), but it requires you to mount it flush to the wall - ergo toe in / toe outs are no longer an option, unless you can find a 3rd party wall mount that can use the built in keyhole mount of the RTiA1 / A3.
Before upgrading to the LSi9s, I was using the RTiA3 and for a time it was wall mounted in my listening area. Bass got louder but retained spectacular imaging and sound staging.
I saw the technical and user's manual of the AM40 wall mount. It allows you to toe in / toe out the speakers and even angle them upward/downward. The caveat for this AM40 option is you 'possibly' mar the speaker surface - either 2 screws on the side or 3 screws at the bottom (bottom is preferred) are required to secure the speakers to the wall mount should you want to angle the speakers up or down.

http://www.pinpointmounts.com/resources/technical_am40.pdf (http://www.pinpointmounts.com/resources/technical_am40.pdf)
If you dont want to use the screws, the AM40 is still a good option for toe-ins or toe outs, just dont angle them upwards/downwards (keep them level) to prevent the speakers from dropping to the floor.

Here's a cut & paste from the guy that installed the setup above (Pinpoint AM40 with RTi A3):
They work - I used a pair of these for my RTiA3s:

I really did not want to put screws into the sides of the cabinets so I used a tip from a fellow Polkie here - Zip ties thru the rear power port and looped to the wall mount:

Very Secure.

^ ingenious! that'll work!

Call me paranoid but I would suggest a second set of cable ties for redundancy. You can buy big cable ties at the mall hardware stores.

or perhaps some wire cable locks used to lock bags. just wrap it shrink wrap to avoid scratching things ;)
-
take note that the zip ties don't actually carry any of the weight of the speaker - the mount takes care of that. The zips just ensure they don't move. (so for that function - even the basic stuff is strong enough)

had a chance to listen to A7s at Listen Up.. all i can say is wow! sounded great even if it was just powered by an entry level pioneer integrated amp and cd player. ;D ;D

Bro here's a tip: Do not audition the A9 even if your budget at this point in time cannot accommodate it. I say this because the difference in SQ compared to the difference in cost will make you want to come up with the difference in cost.

hehe.. thanks for the tip.. actually, i was just killing time in the store while waiting for dinner. I just couldn't resist not hearing to the A7s as this is my only time to test them while im in manila. I was even surprised by the deep bass of the A3s as they were already properly broken in compared to what i have back at home. As of the moment, pass muna ako sa floorstander because i am just renting a pad. ;D

Siguro kapag A9 narinig mo makakahanap ka nang paraan ::). In terms of floor footprint the A9 is not much bigger than the A7 if I remember correctly.

haha.. dapat di ko muna pakinggan ung A9. one time our land lady knocked on my door checking what was vibrating inside my room. Knowing that it was my A3s, I immediately lowered the volume before answering the door and acted as if i know nothing. lol.. :D

I'll just smile hahahahahah
Anyway,the sound of the RTiA9s wont let me go ever since I heard it together with the LSi9s last September, now its haunting me for consideration as fronts for HT.
I wish I will have the space for it.

Pasensya na Bro ... actually paraniod lang talaga. I was thinking more in case of an earthquake where a speaker jumps off its stand and the cable ties have to carry it.

I know the feeling very well. Just ask the folks at MLY. Between the time I auditioned the A3, A7, A9 and bought the A3, I probably came back at least once a month to make sure my "nightmares" of the A9 were true. The nightmares stopped when I finally was able to buy the A9 :).
-
Which avr can suit to A9 needs? Will use for ht and music.
Onkyo 818
Yamaha 1020
planning to buy the a9 before the end of the year kc. ;D

What brand of power amp sir? :)
-
What brand of power amp sir? :)
make sure that your avr have pre outs. I'm currently using a power amp on my A7, csi A6 and surrounds and man what a difference. Its better to have a mid speakers but gets feed with lotsa juice than flagship speakers with avr lang. Sayang ang potential eh. I'm actually planning to upgrade my power amp and get emotiva xpa-5 or xpa-3 I suggest you check them out while they offer 10% off summer sale.
-
ask ko lang po.
kaya bang idrive ng Pio 521 ang A3?
-
ask ko lang po.
kaya bang idrive ng Pio 521 ang A3?
Yes, but not to full potential. Consider looking at the M20 instead, if you'd be running an entry-level AVR.
-
gusto ko sana magandang speaker tapos kahit murang AVR na lang buy ko.
para pasok po sa budget.
please suggest an AVR na entry/mura for A3?
kahit 5.1 lang po sya.
TIA

AVRs are generally weak on the amplification side, and this is especially true for entry level models of most mainstream brands. The 521 will power the A3 just fine at lower volume levels. You may be able to use MCACC to some success, but don't expect it to sound the same as a higher end model.
A workaround would be crossing your speakers fairly high and using a good subwoofer.
-
before finally buying speaker for my audio setup... please inform me the difference between the rti a3 and monitor audio bx2? anyone?

Mga Bossing!
May problema ako! Naguupisa palang mag buo nang system ko. Ala ako masyado pera hehehe. Meron akong AVR na Onkyo TX-SR313 (5.1 ch) medyo mahina ito pero ito lang kaya ko mga bossing.
Gusto ko sana partneran nang polkaudio RTiA1 o kaya TSi100 for the front speakers, kasi yan lang ata appropriate sa wattage nang AVR ko. AT saka yun lang ang kaya ko heheh.
Ngayon, bibili na ako before the end of this month... ang problema ko... alin kaya o alin ba sa kanila ang maganda at bagay sa AVR ko?
Polk lang kasi ang available dito sa lugar ko na kilala na brand... meron na akong Yamaha NS-333 kaso hirap AVR ko masyado mataas specs ni Yamaha!
.... sa susunod nalang ang subwoofer!
Maraming Thank you po!

RTi is almost always better than TSi, though it needs a bit more current. Go for the better speaker, as you can always replace the AVR later on. At least this way, your speakers can grow with you.

Wow! Thank you for your suggestion. Yes AVRs constantly changes, and I think we can always pair the speakers to almost any upcoming AVRs.
... and yes the speakers would definitely grow up with me and the music!
Thank you so much sir!

I was at HMR Pioneer earlier and was surprised to see several Polk FS being sold for only 5k+ most still with box, i am not familiar with the models but these are the one's with 4 woofers, looks like recent releases. The only issue i saw was some tear on the speaker cloth, not sure about the woofers if it was rewinded or something since i did not bother to ask.

My friend told me that they're selling surplus Monitor series speakers, and a few other models. These are prior generation speakers to what you commonly see locally. They should still provide good performance, if in proper condition.

was there too, last monday and saw some mint condition tsi monitor 60 @ around 5K and some monitor 70 at 7K ++, also their demo set is paired with a klipsch sub (forgot the model but it was BIG) at 13-14K. all came with box, but saw some items with dents/scratch on cabinet, tore cloth and some other minor probs.
I am also very interested in monitor 70, i've searched here and found out that monitor 60 is like tsi400, and 70 is like 500, Question is, what would be a better buy, a floorstander monitor 70 or BS rti A3? Would use purely for music (still open for amp to pair this to.)

A new RTi A3 would be a better buy, it has a more detailed sound then the older polk audio monitor series.

Looking at the Polk website and saw that there's an RTi A5, floorstander but at the same price point as the A3 . .

What is the proper way to pronounce this speaker brand?
Sometimes I am left wondering because sellers pronounce it differently.
"Lots of people _really_ pronounce polk with no "l", like poke, smoke, joke. (p OH k)
Lots of people _really_ pronounce polk with a slight "l", which is not a strong "l" and just barely noticeable right before the "k".(p OH l k )"
Which is the correct pronunciation?

Center - CSi A4 or A6 depends on your room size
Surrounds - FXi A4 or A6 depends on your room size
Subwoofer - SVS PB12nsd or PB1000. Again depends on your room size

Well if your going to get a Polk Audio RTi full system; you might as well get a Polk Audio sub as well, I would recommend the dsw pro 660.

Since you have the receiver, might as well use it. It may be enough for your needs, afterall.
RTis aren't that difficult to drive, especially when you're not running them full-range.

sayang naman po kung ibebenta ko yon kasi pasalubong pa ni wifey yon galing singapore at magkano
naman mabebenta yon kung sakali never been used kasi wala pa nga speakers
hanap na lang siguro ako ng ibang speakers to match kung hindi pwede ang RTi series ng Polk audio
Thanks again for your inputs

hindi naman kaya ma under rated yong amp since it only have 100 watts compared to Rti A7 na 300watts, di ko naman itotodo siguro yong volume nya since nasa living room and will use it sa movies.
maganda kaya ilalabas nyang tunog if ever na RTi A7, RTi A3 and CSi A6 gamitin ko?
your inputs is highly appreciated kasi medyo malaki rin gagastusin dito sa set na eto

Tama si Master Dennis. RTi A5 + CSi A6 should be a fairly easy load for your receiver. If you're crossing it at 60Hz or higher, kaya na yan malamang (lalo na kung di naman malaki yung room).
-
Madaleng idrive yan huwag mo ibenta hehehe anu sub gagamitin mo? Tapos gift papala yan take care of it a5 will be fine pero a3 fronts oks na din pero kung fs need mo you decide tutnog ang a7 dyan sa 616 for sure hehe pero kung mag 7.1 ka medyo mhihirapan na si 616

Hello Again Sir,
So the Final set-up will be RTiA5 (Front), CSi A6 (Center) and Fxi A6 (surround) plus a good sub?
Di po ba malaki rin ang CSi A6 like Rtia3?
Thanks......

Sir kung nasa living room ang setup mo.. ok lang ang A6.. saktong sakto lang sya.. since yung fronts mo ay A5 din.. kung alangan ang budget mo for fxa6 as surround pwede rin A1.. sayang kasi yung A3 kung surround mo lang gagamitin..

Gusto ko sana mag add ng speaker sa 2.0 set up ko na rti a3, ano po ba maganda mag 2.1 3.0 o 4.0? Tama po ba na 3.0 muna add ako ng csi a4 para nas malinaw yung conversation sa pelikula? O mas maganda pair of rti a1 for sorround? O yung sub muna?
-
2.1 muna. Then saka na yung surrounds.
-
I would go for 3.0 muna LCR

I'd go for 2.1 first then surrounds then the center.

If pang pelikula I would go for the CSI A4, then subwoofer, then surrounds.
Iba pa din talaga ang may center speakers...

Tama nga... was thinking about audio lang earlier. Didn't clarify hehe
Audio 2.1
HT 3.0

I'll go with csi a4 then. medyo malakas narin kasing booom ng sony1030. susunod nlang sub para di ako awayin ng kapitbahay. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi mga sir, newbie question lang. I bought the RTi A3 kagabi to replace my fronts na Klipsch Quintet satellites. May 2 pairs ng binding posts sa likod nito, saang pair ko dapat ikabit yung speaker wires, sa taas or sa baba? Thanks in advance!
-
hi spidey, either or pwede.

i'm sure naka bridge (with metal plate between upper and lower binding post)pa sya.. so pwede either dun sa taas or sa baba.. ;)
-
Any benefits kung bi-wire/bi-amp ang rti a3?
-
kahit dko pa experience rti series parang curious ako......still canvassing(looking for the best price)
-
hi mga sir, good match po ba ang marantz PM5004 or 6004 amplifier sa polk Rti A1 speakers? i was thinking of getting the yamaha A-S500 pero wala na stock , the marantz is the only other option na available at kaya ng budget ko. dito po ako sa riyadh, saudi naka base and wala masyado audio stores dito.

Mga polk users.. Ask ko lang ano characteristic ng polk rti a9? I audition the a3 and it's so bright.. Better performance un a3 sa music compared pag ginamit for movies.. Eto un cnbi nun tga SnS sa akin. Un tunog ba ng A9 is comparable sa tunog sa sinehan? Thanks

im no polk user, but have tested several rti's, including rti a5, 7 and 9. it will always depend for the avr/amp that will push the 9's to its peak performance. i can't help but smile nung pinair up ko with several onkyo 3xxx and 5xxx series. you must also try to put into consideration the center and surround speakers if gusto mo talaga ng cinema effect. all this must work in unison for you to be satisfied.
regarding sa rti a3, what amp did they use? for some, its better for audio, for others, rear or front high nila mas prefer.

hello kabayan :), sa AVC olaya ko rin binili Rti speakers. anong amp ang gamit mo? meron ka ba alam na iba pang audio store dito sa riyadh with Monitor Audio speakers, KEF, at NAD or cambridge audio amplifier? nakapunta na ako sa archimedia pero masyado mahal mga amplifier na dala nila.
-
kabayan grohl,
NAD3225pe ang main amp ko dito sa room, paired it also with Onkyo A-9030 & A9070 which i bought on A'Dawliah. Wala masyadong shop dito nng HIFI gears. yong mga na search ko sa internet, nag-sara na ata. Meron din Bang & Olufsen, kaso di ko nman type ang speakers nila, pati price ;D ;D ;D
Saan ka dito sa Riyadh?
-

Guys, i wanna build an RTi home theater but slowly. I'm leaning into buying two floorstanders first and a receiver. My living room is 15'x15'. What can you suggest?
Please no RTi A9s because I don't think i'd be able to harness its full power, and baka hindi aprubahan ng Dept of Budget and Management :D

They sell per piece, so it's 19422 and 27222 per pair before tax. :) That could be as much as 22433 and 31442 with tax, depending on location... still a good price.

I have A9, CSiA6 and 2 pairs of FXiA6, too much for my small HT still under construction and also need funds for my acoustic treatments. Mint in box, just one day used since I got them last July or August of last year, unused due to my pending house construction. PM me your offers, I can offer the lowest price compared to what you have inquired locally. I will just settle for bookshelves. I have no price in mind yet so I can't offer them in the market place. These are from Kuwait for transparency. I am not that desperate to sell these, fronts must go first, if not bought then I will just put the fronts in my sala setup. :)
WT! sino kaya yan.... ::) ::) ::) :-X :-X :-X
sad to say that brader. but i do hope matapos na agad yung balay mo.....para makpagjamming naman sakali someday...

Btw, the space in my stand for the receiver is just only 18" - W and 6.5" - H, would I have a problem with regards to proper ventilation?

add a cooler fan and put it on the top of the receiver. that'll help to cool your receiver. :)

Am choosing between denon x4000, onkyo 818 or 828 (don't know w/c is better),

What are the pros and cons of each avr?
Thanks.

I think it would be able to drive the RTi A9's naman, but don't expect to hear its full potential. Iba pa rin kapag nabusog siya ng high wattage (clean) amp or dedicated power amp

I'm considering the Rti model to pair with my Denon 1713. My use is 80% movies, 20% music and these 20% is actually mostly for concert DVDs.
I'm planning to audition the combination, but preparatory to that, I have a few questions:
1. Since the listening area is only about 10sqm, is it okay to just use the Rti A3 (as I have a subwoofer anyway)? Overkill na ba if A5?
2. If I just get the A3, do I just pair it with the smaller center (A4) or the Csi A6?
3. Will it sound horrible if I use my Mission M70 as surrounds in the meantime, or di bagay ang sound ng Mission and Polk?

1. Get the A3, i like the sound of it more than the A5 even if it's an FS
2. Get the CSi A6, Mas maganda vocals dito than the A4
3. No issue if you use the Mission for surrounds... I have used different brands for surrounds even the one that comes with a mini compo, and di naman noticeable na iba yung speakers mo..
Ohh by the way, I had a full Polk audio setup before so i have experience with A3, A6 and even A1..

Ok din sir yung fxi series if may budget pa.. mas naappreciate ko sya kesa sa owm3..hehehe..laki ng improvement for me..

Actually mas maganda ang details ng A3 kesa A5. This is when i did a side by side with it. I went home with the A3 after...
-
thanks for the feedback Courage! I'll listen to the A3 + A6 in my auditions.
-
How about the the A1 compared sa A3? sobrang laki ba ng difference sa details and sound image?
-
How about the the A1 compared sa A3? sobrang laki ba ng difference sa details and sound image?
A3 sounds bigger than the A1, kung baga mas mataba tunog ng A3 and mas malaki ang soundstage based on my side by side comparison when i have it in my system....Details are almost the same...
-
Thanks bro Courage.
Compared to the TSi series, malaki din ba difference? Is it worth it to get the RTi series instead of the TSi?
And if paired with an Onkyo receiver, how is it? Let's say 80% movies and the rest for music.
Thanks!

^If you can afford the RTi series... GO FOR IT ;)
RTi + Onkyo for HT? You have a winner ^-^

Yes, Get the RTi if you can afford it. I like it better than the TSi..
The RTi's will sound good on any receiver.. Pair it with a good sub and it will rock your movie experience...

Ano ba ideal na receiver sir? Like malaki ba diff if I go let's say with the high end receivers compared to the mid level or entry level sepcifically for the RTIA3 and CSIA6?
-
Ano ba ideal na receiver sir? Like malaki ba diff if I go let's say with the high end receivers compared to the mid level or entry level?
It actually depends on your needs, Is you room big? Do you need a lot of power to fill your room with sound? The ideal receiver is what sounds best for you and will cater all your needs HT needs...
Low end receivers, means lower power and fewer features, but the question is, do you need all that power and features? I have a mid level receiver and to be honest hindi ko ata nagagamit kahit kalahati ng power and features ng receiver ko eh.. But then again you also need to take into account the load of your receiver, meaning how efficient your speaker is..
The Polks are very easy to drive.. You dont need a lot of power to make them sing Loud, well maybe except if you get the RTi A9, but then again if you have a small room you wouldnt need an RTi A9 or a very high powered receiver..
Planning your HT is the key... Asking the forum for ideas is the next step.. Then Auditioning if it sounds good to you. But remember, what may sound good in the store may not sound good at your room..
Happy hunting..

Thank you sir! That's what I noticed when I tried the Onkyo 5 series and 6 series..didn't notice much of a difference :) and yung half of the features for sure di ko rin nagagamit..heheheh... I have a pretty small room so I guess sir yung Entry to Mid Level is already ok :)

And when you buy the speakers you want and receiver you need, it doesnt stop there. It may or may not sound good in your room. All the equipment i bought sounded really good at the store, but when i brought it home it's totally different. This is because every room is different, thats why treatment and calibration is needed. An entry level speaker and amp will sound really good in a well treated room and a high end speakers and amp will sound bad to a room full of echoes.. Enjoy your hunt sir...

still happy with my ONKYO 805 + RTI A series....
tumigil na ung sars ko sa HT.
pede na.. laman tyan na .... saka na magupgrade kapag naabot ko na ung sahod ni boss jason...haha

Naginvest narin ako ng konti sir sa Acoustic Panels and Diffusers laki ng improvement talaga..pero I'm sure there's room for a lot more.. wala pako Bass traps.. I just found a guide lang sa youtube on how and where to place them...

BTW, Ano pala magandang cross over settings for the A3 and CSI A6? Should I set it to 80 or large? Tapos yung Sub din sir.. ano ba frequency nun.. sa HK 260 ko kasi before walang option na ganun e.. Sa Onkyo 609 meron :) hehe..

Parang isa lang option na nakita ko e where to set the frequency.. wala option like the Onkyo to set the frequency for each e.. ok na kaya yun? And parang ang option dun is either to set the speakers to Large or Small?
-
@icemad small mo lang sir :) sa sub 80hz. sakto na yan sir,
-
@icemad small mo lang sir :) sa sub 80hz. sakto na yan sir,
For all the speakers sir? or for the front high lang and surrounds? Thank you sir! :)
Bale here's my current settings
RTI A3 Fronts - Large
CSI A6 - Large
FXI A4 - Small
Bose Accoustimass - Small
Subwoofer Frequency - 80hz
Ok na ba yan sir?
-
Small mo nalang din si A3 sir, let the sub do the rest nalang :)
-
Small mo nalang din si A3 sir, let the sub do the rest nalang :)
Alright sir! Thank you :)

Check out the review of the Polk Audio Rti A9:
Polk RTi A9 Floorstanding Loudspeakers Reviewed
Incorporating many of the company's most advanced driver and cabinet technologies, as well as real wood-veneer cabinetry, Polk's RTI series provides an affordable alternative to those who don't want to step up into the real loudspeaker big leagues to get some advanced performance. The series offers three floorstanding models (RTi A9/reviewed here, RTi A7, RTi A5), two bookshelf models (RTi A3, RTi A1), two center models (CSi A6, CSi A4), and two surround models (FXi A6, FXi A4).
The flagship of its RTi line, you don't need to squint to see the RTi A9. It's...well...kind of big. When considering its affordable price ($1699.90 per pair, MSRP), at first glance you get the firm impression that, if nothing else, you are getting a lot of speaker for the money. Measuring 48.625 inches high by 8.875 inches wide by 21.375 inches deep and weighing in at a cool 75 pounds, the RTi A9 takes over a room in a big way. On the top, the design employs a 1-inch Silk Polymer Composite Dome Tweeter crossed over at 1.8kHz and 12dB per octave to two 5.25-inch Dynamic Balance midrange drivers. Polk cleverly houses the tweeter/midrange array in its own sealed sub-enclosure which the company says improves performance, and negates the need for porting. Developed in conjunction with Johns Hopkins University, Dynamic Balance® resulted from a laser interferometry research project that enables Polk to analyze the entire surface of a vibrating driver in real time, in order to determine the right combination of materials for the particular product.
The midrange drivers cross over at 120Hz at 12dB per octave to three 7-inch Polymer Composite woofers. The RTi A9 utilizes the company's PowerPort Plus technology, which consists of two ports - one front and one rear firing - supplemented by internal "plates" to reduce air turbulence and increase efficiency. Located under the woofer array, the large front port fits nicely into the cabinet with a silver fitting. The very slick rear port puts a cone at the mouth of the port to streamline airflow, reduce chuffing, and smooth out frequency response. But unlike most ports that simply end at the edge of the cabinet, Polk uses an elegant plate to terminate the PowerPort, which adds a wonderful cosmetic touch. The RTi A9 provides two sets of 5-way, gold-plated binding posts for bi-wiring/bi-amping. As with all the RTi designs, the RTi A9 features real-wood veneer side panels and utilizes an elegant, tapered cabinet design, which looks great on a big speaker while also likely improving performance by minimizing and diffusing internal standing waves.
Generally (although it has to be executed properly, of course), less boxy designs have the potential to sound better, as they can cancel internal resonances and quiet the enclosure. To that end, Polk also utilizes its DAHLI (Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate Isolation) technology to thoroughly brace the cabinet with a six-layer laminate with five viscous layers. The RTi A9 offers two optional veneer finishes - Cherry and Black - with the Cherry really distinguishing itself. The removable grills, with nice looking molding on the top and bottom creating an elegant blend into the baffle, look good but their plastic construction sticks out just a tad. Without the grills, the drivers look great against the baffle and that helps, as it seems there's, like, eighteen of them. The overall fit and finish of the RTi A9 goes a bit beyond what one would expect at the price point, even by today's standards.
Sound
The RTi A9 presents a nominal 8 ohm load with a 91dB efficiency. It needed a solid boost in overall power quality to open up properly, and went up another notch when paired with better quality power sources.
Right off the bat, the RTi A9s hit you pretty hard with a crisp, punchy sound. They threw a deep, wide soundstage with very good imaging, with an upfront tonal balance that distracts from those qualities just a smidge. The high end, while certainly veering towards crispy, never offends and offers a lot of detail and speed. The midrange offers an excellent amount of musicality, inner detail and neutrality, meshes well with the top end and excels with vocals and piano. While Polk chose to play the midrange drivers down to 120Hz, which seems pretty low, the midrange doesn't seem to have suffered for it, nor does the bass, which really packs a punch and keeps things very tight and controlled.
It stays in time with the top end, adds its own dose of pace and musicality, and rarely sounds even a little sloppy and never sticks out too much. The RTi A9 also plays loud when powered properly, with very little breakup. In fact, the speaker rarely broke a sweat in this area. Even with the PowerPort Plus, the RTi A9 needed some room around it to sound its best, with the sound fattening up a little too much as it moved closer to walls. Overall, the RTi A9 delivers an excellent level of sonics with great pacing and dynamics, crisp imaging, and a healthy dose of refinement and transparency. The forward presentation can be defined as more of an overall flavor than an inferior aspect of one or more particular bands. Underneath it, nothing sticks out negatively, and the sound quality brings a ton of game on virtually every level.
High Points
• The RTi A9 provides a superb overall level of performance and musicality, with great soundstaging, a smooth and detailed high end and midrange, and punchy, extended bass.
• The RTi A9 provides an impressive amount of design and technology, and looks fabulous in both of its finishes.
• The RTi A9 sounds as big, if not bigger, than its large footprint would suggest, with dynamics and bass capable of filling even very large rooms.
Low Points
• The RTi A9 has a somewhat forward tonal balance.
• The RTi A9 needs good quality power to perform optimally.
• The RTi A9 needs some space around it to sound its best.
Conclusion
The Polk RTi A9 provides a remarkable level of performance and musicality for its affordable price. It also earns its way there, packing a ton of design into its large enclosure. Its minor sonic flaws never interfere with its excellent transparency, overall neutrality, big sound, and punchy bass. Large floorstanding speakers have come a long way over the years. Consumers can now expect to receive high-end design elements, lustrous finishes, and much improved performance from what the market offered even only five years ago. The Polk RTi A9 is indicative of that progress, and then some.

I was wondering what other brand and model of center channel will suit the sound of the rti a7 or would be better from polk's csi a6? :)

Only the Polk Audio CSi A4 or CSi A6 will match the RTi A7.

Sir, May I ask if the Polk rti a3 can match with the CS10
or should I just pair it with a tsx220? Thanks very much

Mga sir, can the RTiA3 be powered by T-amps?
Anyone tried it with smsl sa-36a pro?

hi guys, newbie here, i have a yamaha rx-v673 avr, and i'm planning on getting the polk rti a5 and csi a6 or dsw pro 550wi sw muna. medyo tight kasi ang budget, mag 2.1 or 3.0 muna ako, match po kaya itong avr ko with the speakers? hingin ko opinion and suggestion nyo guys. salamat :)
-
ang alam ko sir pag polk speakers ang nasa setup,onkyo receiver ang the best matched jan. i dont know kung magandang combination pag yamaha receiver. pero ang onkyo-polk po kasi ang maraming beses ng napatunayan na matched talaga. try mo rin sir baka magustuhan mo ang yamaha-polk, kc kanya kanya din kc tayo ng gusto.

@exalted gamer
sir, i have tried RTI a3 with Pioneer A-20 integrated amp,and have the following observations:
1. maganda super clear ang details and highs pero medyo bright para sa akin yung combination, in the long run the music is tiring.
2. yung sound ng cymbals,maganda. as to low freq bass- ok lang naman (though not so strong)
i have also tried RTI a3 with NAD 326 bee integrated amp and have the following remarks:
1. i can say this combo is better than A3 and Pioneer A-20.
2. better clarity and details.
3. better bass (inherent characteristic of NAD amps)
4. nice mids and vocals.better imaging.
but when compared with an av receiver+RTI A3 combo, the result is not good for music even on direct/pure direct modes.
in the light of the foregoing, i can say that AV receivers (not the pricey high end receivers) cant bring out the full potential of RTI A3. while integrated amps can do this with ease.
just my observation though
-
sir nogie, saan mo nabili RTIA9 mo? d2 kc sa pinas, RTI a7 pa lang, 50k plus na. RTI a9, 75k plus.
pero sa u, 33k pesos lang? kamura naman.hehe share mo naman sa amin saang store yan.

Very helpful feedback zram18 thanks! The reason why i'm asking is because I'm currently using Yamaha RX-V575 and bi-amped the front speakers. I'm on 5.1 and ok sya for movies but for music, parang sakto lang. Feeling ko I could really get more out of the A3 if integrated ang gagamitin and basing on your observations, I'm right!
I'm preparing to get an integrated amp so NAD is one of my options, hopefully, i could audtion to a lot more using my source. Nuforce BTR-100 lang kasi source ko because i often play from my sony devices. Maghahanap din ako mga 2nd integ amps.
Another question, may problem ba kapag 100-110v ang gamit vs 220v integ amps? Dami kasi sa sulit galing japan or us.

avr for movies, integrated or separates amplifier for music.
the design of AVR is to produce sound and dialogues of movies while amplifiers is to produce music as it was recorded. ;D

Hi All, anyone here who has RTI A3 and tried it with Integrated amps? How was it?
RTi A3 with integrated amp sounds great. I am using an Marantz amp and you can really hear every detail of the song. So crystal clear.
-
So rti a3 if used in ht like 5.1
Ok na yong onkyo receiver....
Pero kung used with music listening,
Mas maganda integrated amp?

Since he's also based here in Canada, I'm guessing FutureShop or BestBuy.
That's where I got my pair of RTi A7s too for only $600 +tax or P22,680.
He definitely got a waay better deal than me.

Futureshop (re-branded now as Best Buy) during Boxing Day sale dito sa Canada, equivalent ng Black Friday sale sa US. Every year ganito ang price dito sa Canada during Boxing Day sale.

If you have relatives dito sa Canada abangan nyo December 26th every year. Maganda bumili sa Canada ngayon kasi mababa ang value ng Canadian dollar vs. USD pero ang price halos parehas lang sa US stores. I was in Billings, Montana yesterday at compare ko ng prices sa Costco and BB vs. Canadian BB/Costco. Parehas lang presyo kaya hindi na ako bumili, Safeguard soap(wala sa Canada), Beer and Wine na lang inuwi ko kasi sobrang mura talaga sa US. :)
Price is always CAD375 each, converting it to peso with the current exchange rate: 375x35.5 = Php26,625 + Tax. 10% average pero kung nasa Alberta ka 5% lang Tax.
P29,287 tax included... Geez, i might buy another pair come Boxing Day. :)

Maraming courier dito papunta dyan sa atin. Kung nasa BC ka $45 lang regular balikbayan box. Siguro me dagdag konti sa shipping pero sa laki ng price difference sulit na sulit pa rin kung dito mo bilhin kahit bayad ka pa ng shipping.

Kaya lang di sya kasya sa balikbayan box diba. Oversized sya.. Nag aaccept kaya ang courrier ng ganyan kalaki.. Pwde mag abang nalang ako ng sale. Ang problem baka hindi ma ship kasi hindi normal ang size

Mga ser im planning to get Rtia5 and csia6... medyo hirap lang ako magdecide sa receiver na gagamitin. Kung marantz 5010 or denon x4200... alin kaya mas lalabas yung ganda ng speaker. 125watts kc yung denon compare sa 100watts ni 5010. Salamat po mga ser.
-
X4200. make sure to lower the treble around -4 minimum kung X4200 with Rti's.

Hi guys, help naman po please see the picture. Where do you think i can buy one or pair of those? That's from the back of the RTI A3.

Akala ko din yun binding post. Hehe! I think it's a rubber footer. Baka swak yun sa mga ace hardware.

Ahahaha... kala ko yung binding post. Parang walang exact na ganyang rubber foot/stopper. Maybe you can check sa ace hardware or any DIY shop like what Master Konsi suggested.

Rubber footer/stopper! Hehehe. Will check tomorrow sa Ace. Tapos by pair naman siguro yun. Maraming salamat!

goodnoon pdvd,
got a 2nd hand RTI A1 from our marketplace few weeks ago, so im looking for a matching integrated amp for the polks..
my friend lent me his HK 3770 for a week now, ok naman siya. detailed and "puno" ang tunog. until I stumbled upon Onkyo's A9010 integrated amp, having rave reviews and all praises for the 40watts per ch amp. Toyama and other stores naman cant do audition for the amp -- must buy na agad dapat. ano kaya tingin niyo sa combong ito? most reviews I see are on the "bright" side with an onkyo and rti combo, but not particular to the a9010.
tried NAD too, but it wasn't my taste lang. any other amp you can recommend?
salamat in advance!
-
Konti lang ba ang may Polk Audio speaker dito sa Pdvd at hindi masyado active dito?
I'm using RTi A3 - SVS SB100 - Marantz NR1403 receiver combo, minsan halos maghapon nakabukas yung sounds pero hindi tiring pakinggan. Sarap makinig kahit FM lang source ko madalas. Sarap din makinig sa gabi matutulog na lang ako di ko napapansin mag aalas dose na ng gabi pala. Yun pong naka RTi A3 ano ba experience nyo? Yung setting ko nga pla for sub LFE main kaya kahit naka direct gumagana yung sub.
-
Bright

Bright
bakit sa system ko hindi naman bright? Detailed but never bright. probably because Marantz is on the warm side?
-
To each his own. I had polk rti before and paired it with a tube amp and still find it bright

To each his own. I had polk rti before and paired it with a tube amp and still find it bright
I had a full RTi setup before, A3, A1 CSi A6. It was very good for movies but find it Fatiguing when listening to music, specially during high volume listening
-
Ngayon kasi moderate volume lang ang pinapayagan ni misis. max na siguro 70db. pero yung normal listening volume oks naman sa amin. Sa dami ng nagsasabing bright siguro bright talaga ang charasteristic nitong RTi. Just so happened na yung setup ko hindi ko pansin yung brightness. Revealing yung dating sa akin. Buti na lang, kasi ang hirap nung tiring makinig sa music dahil sa brightness habang tumatagal.
-
I am planning to start with a 3.0 setup of RTiA3 and CSiA4 then end with a 7.1 setup. What would be the best A/V Receiver and other speakers that can pair with this startup?
Thank you.

Marantz or Nad or any receiver with laidback (warmish) sound signature
-
The RTi's are bright speakers for me, for movies it's more than ok. You will love the details and vocal pero for music medyo masakit sa tenga and nakakapagod, this is when i'm using my Yamaha Aventage to power them up. Better use a warmish amp for the RTi's
Since fan ako ng Aventage, i changed the speakers instead of the amp. But if you really liked the RTI's, get an amp na hindi bright.
