Blown away by the sound. Picked them up at an estate sale and had no idea how good music could sound. Great lows and fantastic highs! I was willing to part with every other speaker I had.

Weakness:

None in my opinion

I was previously using the Polk 2000p towers. They have a ton of low end bass but not very musical. I was blown away at the upgrade in overall sound quality the RTi10's gave me. They are very musical and look very aggressive. The presentation of the cabintet is absolutely beautiful. The grille is simple yet elegant. I am very happy with these speakers and hope to grow old with them : )

Strength:

BASS AND CLEAR HIGHS AND THEY LOOK IMPRESSIVE IN CHERRY.

Weakness:

MUDDY MIDS, BUT ITSOTHER STRENGTHS MAKE UP FOR THE IMPERFECTION

I WAS SCEPTICAL, BUT THESE SPEAKERS REALLY IMPRESSED ME WITH THEIR UNLIMITED BASS . I HAVE BEEN AN AUDIO PHILE FOR A LONG TIME AND IM DONE WITH SPENDING AN ARM AND A LEG ON HOME AUDIO IVE LEARNED YOU WILL NEVER BE CONTENT FOR LONG, SO FIND SOMTHING THAT WORKS BETTER THAN WHAT YOU EXPECT AND GO FROM THERE, BUT THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE FULL RANGE SOUND OF A GOOD FLOOR STANDING SPEAKER. POLK AUDIO STILL MAKES A NICE SPEAKER. MUST HAVE GOOD EQUPTMENT TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THEM THOUGH.
THEY DO ROCK, I DONT KNOW WHAT THE OTHER REVIEWERS ARE SMOKING, BUT THEY REPRODUCE BASS WONDERFULLY. IF YOU GET A GOOD DEAL ON THEM - DONT PASS THEM UP.

Strength:

Good response on the complete range.

No disortion at all whit the NAD 372.

Power as you wish !

Very nice look.

For the price it's a 5 stars !

Weakness:

The footing of those is made for carpet.

Bad they don't include a set for hard floor.

The polk rti10 is very impressive for the price. I buy a demo pair on the floor.
So i paid about $700 before taxes.

Those speakers got impressive response on low mid and high frequency.

Boy they rock !

Since i drive them whit a NAD C372. At 150-watts x 2-channels, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a cleaner, more reliable amplifier today for the price.

I use the bi-cable and both speakers output a and b on the c372.

It cost me $100 of cable to wire the set up.

Strength:

I experience a new sound that I've ever heard before

Weakness:

I haven't found so far...

I bought over a month ago and replaced my old Sony speakers. I've done lots of research and boil down to Polk Audio brand. On my list for my front speakers whether RTi10 or RTi12 will be loud enough for my home theather around 1000sqt. One of the reasons I've decided RTi10 beside the money is my Sony receiver STR-K502 which produce 100wpc. From what I understand, RTi12 will be hungry on amp power. To get the best out from RTi12, at least 150wpc is needed. I'm happy with RTi10 specially on Cherry finish. Beside produce wonderful sounds, it also decorates the room.

I've used Bose, Infinity and Sony

Strength:

Appearance - the cherry wood makes for good furniture as well as housing some great compenents.

Weakness:

None - they do what they are intended to do and do it well.

Hopefully someone reads this and it may save them some of the time and effort I used to get to this point when considering a home system.

After owning four receivers and 17 different speakers ( the downside of not having good audio stores close-by, too easy internet access, and a little hard headeness) have gotten to the point am comfortable with both of my H/T and music systems.

RTis 10s mains, CSI5 center, and R50s the surrounds all by Polk together with an AudioSource 15 inch sub. comprise my primary set-up. To finally get here broke down and covered the miles to compare systems. Looked at, listened to, and in some cases have owned; Infinity - too weak, JBL - muddy, Bose - duh, Klispch - geat speaker but low on appearance - after all gotta look at as well as hear, Paradigm - good but not worth $, Mags - nah, Wharfedales - own in my second system but hard to find now, and the Polks. Narrowed down between RTi10s and LSi15s. 15s tad bit better on some music but power hungry, harder to locate, and last but not least a lot more bucks.

Have found that home entertainment is like a lot of things in life; the first steps are the easiest to obtain but the higher you go the harder ( and more expensive ) it becomes.

Right now with the Polks, AudioSource sub, Onkyo 603 receiver, Sony DVD and big screen, Denon CD, and JVC VHS have a comfortable and enjoyable set-up. Onkyo, and many other new recievers, are plug and play in that they use microphones to do the inital speaker set-up. This leaves onlyspeaker placement; which with the Polks with their expansive presence is fairly painless.

The end result is a fairly inexpensive set-up that reproduces all entertainment venues excellantly with near audiophile quality and a minimum of fuss. Hey I can now inderstand all Gollum is saying - which should give you a yardstick on how clear the music is.

I know there are many audiophiles who have systems that they believe can out-perform this system - but at what price in time, finikiness, and all to much extra $. After all my objective is to have a system that serves and entertains me not me having to serve it to get my entertainment. I'll take the extra time and bucks and spend on my MX5, Harley or another European cruise. If you want a good home set-up consider the 10's with a CSi5 main with a good sub and Polk surrounds. I used the R50s because already owned and looked good without having to use stands, but the RTi6s are good for the surrounds.

As a last addition bi-wire with a good 12 gauge wire, and if you decide to go with the Polks give acousticsounddesign.com a good look - excellant prices and service on these and Klipsch speakers if you can get past the Klipsch appearance they are good boxes.
