 Good Speaker Nov 09, 2009
I been designing and installing high end systems for 20 years. This speaker is a 2 way that lacks low end rumble by design. However it does sound seemless at either 60 or 80 crossover with a sub. The speaker has a slightly forward sound so it will not mate with some amp's(Yamaha,Onkyo) without EQ settings. However, with my personal Marantz setup it tames them a little. A lot of speakers are priced at this point. These are a great compromise for HT and Music combo. Price can be found heavily discounted online at times which makes these a best buy. 2 channel sound can be done better for $1000 but these are HT speakers that can actually play rock,metal and sound really good. Not and easy task. I have always found the 2 - 6.5"mid/woof and 1" tweet the perfect mate for a sub system. The 5.5" mids many HT speakers use are better for dynamics in HT but leave a hole in the lower mid's during music play. Not these and they can be felt in the stomach at volume. For many these speakers can give a peek into the world of higher end audio. A sub is needed for HT and recommended for music(just to add body).
Excellent Speakers Jul 25, 2009
Very happy with these speakers. This is my third set of Polk's over the last 20 years. At first I wasn't overly impressed. Let them break in, what a difference. I also have a Polk sub and all the way around the system sounds great.

 Defective Product x 2 Jun 12, 2009
I knew there was a problem as I was unpacking my speakers; there was rattling coming from inside both boxes. My fears were realized: inside the bottom port of one speaker I could see where a cardboard tube had detached from the port. On the back of the other speaker a plastic cone had detached. Is this a workmanship or quality asurance problem, or were they both damaged during shipping? Amazon customer service was good about returning the speakers and they were going to send me replacements. I told them not to bother at this time; I need time to cool off before deciding where to purchase my speakers.
I sent an email to Polk tech support. They gave me the standard reply that they inspect every speaker, etc. However, note the 3-star review by W. Roberts. He states that he had the same problem with his RTiA5 speaker (the port tube detaching).

Couldn't be happier! May 07, 2009
I bought a pair of RTIa5's to use as left and right front speakers in my home theater. I have them paired up with an SVS subwoofer. They offer fantastic highs and mids, with my sub doing all the work down low. I demoed a pair of rtia5's at a local dealer, and they did sound pretty good without a sub, but I'm guessing most people would want to implement a sub sooner or later, especially for Home Theater where a sub is a necessity. I'm also enjoying music with these, they do an outstanding job there as well!
I'm using a Polk Csia4 for my center channel. I find it's a good match for the Rtia5's to reproduce an accurately voice matched front soundstage.
With these speakers, you won't have to worry about damaging them with too much power. The more power the better!
Update: It's been 4 months since I purchased these, they are still running strong! They are used daily, with a great mix of music and home theater use. No complaints yet...
Grate speakers Apr 19, 2009
I am very pleased with these speakers. I replaced a 1990 set of Boston Accustic speakers with these and what a differance. It was nice to get into the digital age. Outstanding quality and grate sound.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
