Polk RTiA 1 Review

 

The RTiA1 is another example of a high-quality yet affordable bookshelf speaker from Polk. The speaker's finish and sound quality walk hand in hand in excellence. The speakers are less efficient than others we reviewed, but overall, these speakers will...

These speakers have an excellent finish and good sound quality.

These speakers aren’t as efficient as we would have liked to see.

These speakers look great and will sound great in your home. The RTiA1 are less efficient than our top rated speakers, but they have good sound quality and build.

Polk Audio RTiA1 Bookshelf Speaker

 

“Really?” I blurted out loud when I opened the RTiA1's box to find a substantial, beautifully made minispeaker with curved sides and a higher level of fit'n'finish than that found on any of the other speakers in this group (the Monitor Bronze BX1...

Polk Audio RTI A1-Cherry

 

The wood work (veneer) is better on these book shelf speakers than on Polk's Floor-standing speakers which are twice the price. I love all my Polk speakers but really wished my Floor-standing and Sub had this great wood work treatment on them

Excellent sound/small package

Great pair for the price

 

I am using 4 of these as my rear channel and rear wide channels. They sound great for movies. My much more audophile savvy friend has a pair of these same speakers in his 11.1 system

they are deeper than I was expecting and stick off of my walls a little more than I was expecting. They are also quite heavy for their size

Polk Audio RTI A1-Cherry High Performance Bookshelf Speaker Pair

 

When I first got these, I really wasn't expecting much for straight musical listening. But, with a warm, smooth midrange, it almost makes you forget about the lack of low pounding bass. Still, if you're looking for a bookshelf for a music system, I...

Beautiful finish. Incredible midrange. Built in wall mount. The dual power ports really help to extend the bass of the 5.25" driver as low as possible. For most types of music (all but the most bass-heavy) they will do great. Jazz and most classic rock...

The 5.25" driver is not intended to shake the foundations of your house. As stated above, it does do an admirable job. But, if you're thinking of using these in stereo for music, you're going to want at least a small sub to compliment. The tweeter can...

Polk Audio RTi A1 (Cherry)

 

The Polk RtiA1 bookshelf speakers have one characteristic that ruined them for me, EXTREMELY exaggerated high frequencies. Cymbals scrape. Trumpets screech. Guitar overdrive grates without mercy. Too bad, because their bass and mid-range and imaging...
