Polk Audio RTI A1 Bookshelf Stereo Speakers (Pair, Black)

reviews bookshelf speakers

The Polk Audio RTI A1 Black bookshelf stereo speakers features a series of upgraded version. The upgraded version is much sturdier than the already sturdy Polk Audio RTI.

[rating:5/5]

From the incorporation of our Polk’s latest Dynamic Balance Cone drivers and 1 inch tweeters to an elegant restyling of the cabinets in keeping with the latest styles.


With its 5.25 inch woofer and ported enclosure, the Polk Audio RTi A1 can hit notes other speakers in its class can’t. The PowerPort provides superior, clean, low distortion bass that you can feel. The PowerPort reduces the turbulent air coming from the port, making the speakers more efficient and ultimately better sounding.

The floor-standing models feature “Power Port Plus” an enhancement of Polk’s patented Power Port technology. As you would expect from this highly popular line, the performance is classic Polk.

Polk RTi A1 –Excellent sound and value
Replaced a 20 year-old pair of Pioneer floorstanders with these and don’t regret the choice. Beautiful cherry finish and great, balanced sound in a compact package.

I’ve owned these speakers for about a month now. I am very happy with the sound and the finish. The bass is a little thin, but no more so than any other bookshelf speaker this…

Review of RTI A1 with Technics SA-DA10 receiver
I bought these speakers less than a week ago so they have not been broken in yet. I listened to them at the Austin area Frye’s as they are configured in the home theater room.
