Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Polk Audio RTi4 High Performance Bookshelf/On-Wall Speakers (Pair, Black)
Customer Review: Excellent mid-range speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
The Polk RTi4 speakers are a great set of bookshelfs at a decent price. These are very good speakers for a good quality, mid-range surround sound system. The high's are great, the mid's are great, and the lows are pretty decent. The low range is pretty bad, but since most people add a subwoofer to their audio systems any more, it doesn't matter much. They sound great and have lots of power. These speakers can handle alot. Also, they look great. With or without the cover on, they look excellent. Everything sounds good on these speakers. Any kind of music, movies, or games, these speakers rock hard. I have these hooked up to my Pioneer VSX-812D. I plan on buying a pair of RTi6's and moving the RTi4's to the surrounds. I'd then like to round it off with a CSi5 and PW404. This is the first time I've tried Polk speakers, and I'm VERY pleased with the quality of the RTi4's.. especially for the price.Customer Review: great speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these speakers for my dorm room. I have them running through the basic sony amplifier/ reciever (STR-DE197) I play all my music through itunes on my computer. These speakers get very loud and the clearity is unbelievable. I have only used computer speakers before, but I decided to upgrade to a stereo now that I live in my frat house. These speakers are loud and clear, but lack bass, which I guess is expected for their size. They trully sound great though and my old computer speakers have a serious sub and I have that hooked up with these to suplement. The bass is still tight its just not room thumping. I would highly recomend these though even if they are by themselves. Just remember great sound not a lot of bass.Customer Review: Great for acoustic music and vocals
Summary: 4 Stars
These speakers are small enough to fit easily in a bookcase yet put out enough undistorted volume to nearly fill my house. They didn't do too well with bass-heavy music (I tried the Fugees) but they were extremely good with vocals from Bobby McFerrin--warm, sharp, responsive. I couldn't stop smiling while I was listening to McFerrin on these. Combine these with a subwoofer and you'll have a system good enough for listening to just about anything. I've combined them with a 5.1 speaker system from Polk, so I've got the home theater and pure music experiences both covered.
The styling is very nice: the grill is a curved shape that projects out from the housing, and the black finished wood veneer is quite pretty.
Customer Review: good engineering
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice product, I use them mostly for music in stereo mode. I could hear every single note in the music which was not possible with my previous speakers. They do have considerable amount of bass if we increase the volume a little. but it depends on persons taste. to me adding a subwoofer will be like noise, because i like the soft bass coming out of these speakers. One difference that i observed with these polks and the newer polks but of different series ( not the rti series ) is that, newer tsi models tend to have more mid range than these, but rti sound clearer i.e. if there is bass and guitar at the same time in a song, you could hear each of them clearly using the rti. Overall a great product.Customer Review: Great speakers for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been listening to these speakers for over a week and am highly pleased. My previous system was a sony stereo system 120 watts per channel. Not only do these speakers have better quality, but they are louder.
I don't normally write reviews for products that I purchase online, but I figured since I was so pleased I should share my experience. Definitely use good wires to hook these babies up or you wont exploit their full potential. The RTi's have good bass but I feel like I need to add a sub to feel lower frequencies. When I turn the bass up it's too straining on the speakers, hence a sub.
Can't wait to add a sub to this banging setup! No regrets!
