Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Polk Audio RTi A1 by Loren Barstow Why choose bookshelf speakers? Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers. Potent bookshelf speakers Treat yourself to detailed, accurate sound with Polk's compact RTi A1 bookshelf speakers. They feature Polk's exclusive Dynamic Balance® drivers for smooth accurate response. Plus the woofers and tweeters undergo careful laser testing to help identify and eliminate unwanted resonances that can hinder a speaker's performance. Thoughtful cabinet design The asymmetric cabinet helps fight vibration for clearer sound. The RTi A1's newly designed asymmetric cabinets help them deliver rich, clear sound by combating vibration and increasing rigidity. You'll enjoy remarkably clean mids and highs for a well-defined soundstage, along with tight bass. Plus, the cabinet's curved edges give the speaker a polished look, enhanced by a real wood veneer finish. Great for home theater or stereo music setups The RTi A1s do a great job with stereo music on their own, or you can team them with a powered subwoofer for even better bass. Or use two pairs as your home theater's front and surround speakers for dynamic, detailed movie sound. For larger rooms, the RTi A1s work perfectly as surrounds in combination with RTi tower front speakers. Recommended center channel speaker: Polk CSi A4. Recommended surround speakers: Polk RTi A1.

Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology Dynamic Balance: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion. Polymer Composite Woofers: Each speaker features a 5-1/4" polymer composite woofer for smooth wide-range response with low distortion. For high performance durability, each woofer uses a butyl rubber surround. Silk/Polymer Tweeters: Each speaker has a 1" silk/polymer dome tweeter that provides clear, detailed highs. Each tweeter features mylar bypass capacitors in the crossovers to extend high frequency response and improve detail and transparency. Each tweeter features low viscosity ferro-fluid cooling with a heat sink on the Neodymium magnet for superior heat dissipation, power handling and reliability. Frequency Response: The overall frequency response is 50Hz-27kHz and the -3dB frequency response is 60-26kHz. Enclosure Design Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate (DAHLI) Cabinet Design: All-MDF construction with massive asymmetric cabinet bracing ensures a resonance-free enclosure for accurate sound. The asymmetric design is made from a 6-layer laminate with 5 viscous layers to create the optimal shear damping (OSD) system. The elegant styling aside, curved cabinets not only result in a stronger, more rigid and acoustically inert enclosure, but the curved walls also produce less audible coloration from panel resonances. Power Port Venting System: Each speaker has a rear-firing Power Port venting system built into its back plate for precise deep bass response. This venting system allows air velocity to slow gradually, vastly reducing air turbulence, and delivering greater bass efficiency than conventional ports. Acoustic Resonance Control (ARC): Internal cabinet resonance can impart a "thick" character to voices. Polk's patented Acoustic Resonance Control port system overcomes this problem. In addition to the Power Port venting system, each speaker has a front-firing port that is tuned to suppress the internal cabinet resonance, resulting in smooth, natural midrange reproduction. Anti-Diffraction Grilles: The floating anti-diffraction grilles minimize grille diffraction for spacious, 3-dimensional imaging. Connections Dual 5-Way Binding Posts: Each speaker has two sets of gold-plated 5-way binding posts connected by gold-plated jumpers. Using the dual 5-way binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers. Mounting Options Wall Mounting: The Power Port back plate on each speaker has a keyhole slot, allowing the speaker to be mounted on the wall using the supplied 2-1/2" wood screws. Magnetically Shielded: The speakers are magnetically shielded, allowing you to place them near your television without distorting the picture.

I recently purchase the a set of Polk Audio RTi A1 speakers. They sound great. I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend them. IN addition, the speakers are a handsome piece of furniture. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I purchased three sets to accompany Polk's matching center channel (CSi A4) for my 7.1 system. Recommended. I've ordered Polk's DSW PRO 550wi sub to round out the system. Pros: Timbre matched, solid construction, ascetically pleasing. A bracket, screw and template is provided to make side- and/or back-wall mounting a snap. Cons: None. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Value Written By Mark D, Copley OH on Sunday, July 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am using these as the "main" speakers in my office, connected to a PC. I watch a lot of movies and listen to a lot of music in my office. These speakers do the job. I have only had them for a few days, but they are lively and clean. I am using them with some BIC Venturi surrounds and center and an Energy ESW-M8 subwoofer. These speakers are clear and clean. I got them on sale. From a value perspective, they are amazing. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Big Room Problem Solved Written By RobA, Iowa on Monday, May 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After years living in a house with fairly standard rooms my wife finally got her "open concept" home. I call the main floor the cave. It's two stories of sound killing wood and walls. I have spent the past three years trying to put together a system for viewing movies and listening to music so that I can hear dialogue while watching TV and then enjoy music when the TV is off. Last year I bought some Polk Audio in wall speakers for the rear of the system and this year I purchased these RTiA1 speakers for the front surrounds. The speakers solved my big room sound problems without having to go to the mat with my wife over larger speakers. The dialogue is crisp and clear, and now I have no problem hearing my favorite TV shows and movies. The speakers also give great wide range sound when listen to music. An added bonus are the maple wood enclosures that actually match the credenza that the whole thing sits on. I am really satisfied with both the rear in wall speakers and my new RTi fronts. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Very Discouraging Written By GlennE, Gretna, LA on Tuesday, February 18, 2014 Bought these after searching, reviewing, pricing and deciding not to rebuild my 20 year old Infinity's. Right out of the box, one of the woofers didn't work. Customer service said they would replace them. Just very disappointed thinking Polk was a solid product. :{ Pros: The one speaker that worked sounded pretty good. Cons: Having to box up and ship back and wonder if I made the right decision. 1 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 So much for so little Written By Rory, Yonkers on Saturday, December 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use them as front speakers in my home theater set up. For my room size these are really good. The bass response in these puppies is unbelievable for their size, they compliment the PSW 125 subwoofer and the Tsi CS 10 that I am using for the center speaker. Pros: Small, and Oh so strong. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk Audio RTi A1 Speakers are Awesome! Written By CathieK, Tamaqua, PA on Friday, December 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My Crutchfield advisor recommended these to me, and he was right on with what I needed. They look and sound awesome. I highly recommend them and Crutchfield for all of your audio needs. Pros: Great sound and look Cons: None that I can see Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 My Crutchfield advisor, Shawn, nailed this one for me! Written By Cooderhead, Mulege,Baja California Sur, Mexico on Wednesday, December 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Beautiful addition to my home The cherry finish is excellent. The construction of the speakers exceeded my expectations as did the sound. I also use a powered sub woofer and the two together are just perfect. The overall tonal range is exceptional and solid sounding. I have not done so as yet, but I do plan on mounting these speakers on the wall. I have already recommended them to a friend. Great purchase! Pros: Beautiful construction, shielded, wall mount capability Cons: I have nothing negative to say about these speakers. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great sound from a small package Written By Tigertomc1965, Kunkletown, PA on Sunday, October 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This small bookshelf really performs well. I have a setup of RTi A3 for fronts, a CSi A6 and now these as my surrounds. This is a great setup. All of these Polk speakers are very high end in build quality. They look great and sound even better. I was concerned about size but these do not disappoint. I get plenty of sound to fill my room. They tend to be really bright speakers. So mids and highs are there in quantity. With my system I had to turn down the highs 10db and the mids 5 db and then pump up my bass 5-10 db and it now sounds amazing. Even these speakers give me the thump, thump, thump when the bass is high. I do not have the crossover set very high (at 60hz) but these provide good bass sound now that the highs and mids are muted some with my setup. I still get amazing clarity and distinction between instruments so no muddy sounds here. I am thoroughly impressed. Wonderful investment. My only complaint is with Crutchfield's ability to take their speakers off sale just before I wanted to buy them. If you buy some of the set at one time then do not wait for your points or the rest of the set will be off sale when you actually have the points to use. Pros: Sound great, great distinction between instruments, small size, good bass sounds from a small package, great quality, looks great in my room. Cons: expensive, very bright but can be adjusted. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By gene, Lafayette, LA on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I spent weeks evaluating these speakers and when I was ready to purchase, I chose Crutchfield because of thier good service, advice, and price. I already have Polk Audio speakers installed in two other zones and needed new fronts in my main 5.1 zone (TV room). My Onkyo "head end" has never sounded so good! Thanks Polk Audio and Crutchfield for partnering to provide excellent sound in my main zone. Pros: Great soundstage and integration with existing system. Balanced highs and lows that reproduce great music and audio in home theater. Beautiful cabinets and look almost as good as they sound! Cons: None to mention. Was this review helpful?

Written By efz, Colombia S.America on Monday, July 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Classic well made precise and a reasonable price. Pros: Upgraded my 2.1 home theater to Polk´s RTi A1 speakers, very precise, "warm" sounding set. Great value for the money, solid construction; the natural Wood finish complements the bookshelf. Overall I conclude recommended... Cons: Had them shipped next day air oops, cost was steep. This is why I rated 4 out of 5. Suggest use free shipping for speakers! To balance, Crutchfield shipping, like clock work. 1 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very Clear Written By Ron, Iowa on Monday, June 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just set these speakers up in a 27' x 14' room. I installed them with bookshelf hangers from Sanus . I installed these at ceiling height but was able to tip the speaker down to direct it into the listening area. I also matched these up with a CSI A4 center channel located at ear level under the big screen television. These speakers are powered by an Onkyo HT-RC260. Hidden is a powered subwoofer. Rear speakers are Bose. This system rocks. So much dimension you swear your in the middle of the action. Clear, Clean, undistorted sound. Pros: Great looking! Nice speaker connections.

Running the A1s off a Denon AV-1913 on shelves in a large room. Was worried about filling the whole room, but worry no more. I use for TV, movies, Blu-Ray, Pandora, iTunes AirPlay, etc. These babies definitely do the job, along with the subwoofer and in-ceiling Polk MC60s...great sound field. As mentioned in other reviews, the A1s are bigger than they appear, especially in depth. Something to be aware of. Can certainly re-allocate to the back as surround speakers given further upgrade in the future. Pros: Clarity, Appearance Cons: None Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 RTi fronts Written By Anonymous, naples FL on Thursday, April 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) first picked up the CSi center by Polk, my Energy Take system was infuriating when it came to dialogue with some movies. and wouldn't you know it, they're right when they say you need to voice match your fronts with your center. the energy Take fronts didnt quite mesh with the Polk center. picked up the voice matched RTi A1s 2 weeks after the center. the sound is insanely sweet. dialogue is crisp. with the Energy Take system, there was no need to ever go to the movies. now there's no need to go to work either.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Speakers Written By Mack, Accokeek, MD on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are excellent; concur with all that they require break-in period but construction and quality are above all to include the bose that I purchased some years ago. Pros: None Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Need break in Written By Mike D, Twin Cities, MN on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Several people have commented that you need to give these speakers time to break in and I agree. Out of the box I was immediately impressed with the quality and the beauty of the Cherry cabinets. When I heard them at first I thought they were shallow and muted in a way. After 10-15 hours of running them they have improved and gotten much crisper and I definitely am impressed. On their own, they don't have enough bass for hard rock, but they perform well on their own with other "softer" genres that don't require pounding bass. I have them paired with JBL Northridge Series towers and JBL Northridge Series sub in a very large open space and they really fill-in the mid-range and highs.. Maybe the A3's would have been better considering the huge room they are in, but that is not a knock on the speakers as much as it is my application for a bookshelf. Pros: Beautiful cabinets. Nice sound. Excellent wall mount system. Cons: On their own they are not enough for a big room or really heavy music. Maybe the bass ports would be more functional if mounted on the wall. 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Polk Audio RTiA1 Written By Just Me, Severna Park MD on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Attractive bookshelf unit. Two pairs of wire attachments is good for attaching multiple sources. Sound quality is ok, but a bit Tunney. I have a lot of Polk speakers. Not sure these measure up, but I'm probably being a bit hard on the small base. Pros: Attractive unit Cons: Sound a bit limited. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Gremlin88 Written By Anonymous, Knoxville, TN on Tuesday, January 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Once again, Polk doesn't dissappoint. I've been a Polk fan for years, so excuse the bias. If you're familiar with Polk then this review will sound familiar as well. If you're not a fan then you owe it to yourself to give these speakers a listen. Open mids and highs and surprisingly decent bass. My receiver actually thought they were "large" speakers when I ran the microphone aided auto set up (Pioneer VSX 1020). When set up properly, they produce an open, natural image. I have these mated with a CSi A4 center and DSW 550wi sub, which I purchased as a set, due to the current special with the sub discount along with some older T15's that still do well as surrounds. Check the measurements on the CSi A6 center before deciding on that vs the A4. Neither is small, but the A6 is huge, and to be honest, the A4 is impressive in an average sized room (mine is 17' x 22' and the A4 doesn't lack for anything when mated with a powered sub). Just watched Transformers D.O.T.M. after finishing receiver tuning and all I can say is WOW! Great dynamic range with 0 distortion. Music lovers don't worry...these have you covered. Not only did they make Pandora's sound quality level up considerably (not an easy task...), but well recorded CD's sound sublime, with details you probably have been missing. I've auditioned everything from Bose (you're paying for the name...) to Def Tech to Paradigm and Revell. You have to spend a LOT more to beat the RTi series... Pros: Open, natural sound, with great dynamic range. Suitable for movies AND music. Cons: They're not free... 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I have these sitting on a hardwood floor on my second floor office. All I can say is they sound really good. The bass is nice and tight without causing unnecessary vibration. Everything I have played through them has sounded better then I would have imagined (From Gershwin to Madonna to Iron Maiden). The price can't be beaten either. Pros: Fit and finish, sound, and price Cons: None so far. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I use these as side speakers for my 7:1 system and for the price they can't be beaten, they're well made and aesthetically pleasing too. I run a Marantz SR7007 A/V receiver and my main speakers are by B&W, but the Polks hold up well and for what you pay you get an excellent product. Pros: Good value for money, well made Cons: A little weak at high volume, but for bookshelf units this shouldn't be an issue Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 RTiA1's Written By KirkD, Lincoln, IL on Monday, September 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had a cheap "R.S.? center speaker" blow on me when I hooked up my Yamaha audio reciever, so I first ordered the Polk CS20 and found I had to replace my right and left front speakers as well. I opted for the RTiA1's and the sound is explosive. When my R.S. powered subwoofer goes I will be back for a Polk powered subwoofer. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Fantastic for music listening.... Written By D123, Rochester, NY on Thursday, May 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Decided on these after I shopped for a while for a set of bookshelves I could mount in a second room for 100% music listening. I mainly listen to acoustic and electric jazz at low - moderate volumes. Even pushed by a 20 old 55W/channel receiver, these things sound amazing. For the price -looks and sound are impossible to beat. Impressed so much I await the arrival of RTiA3's which will replace old floor (no name) speakers. Also ordered a NAD C356DAC amp to run both of these speakers and am looking forward to the major upgrade in that as well. Thanks so much Crutchfield for offering a diverse inventory to select from for people who like to listen to music and not HT. No brick and mortar store exists around me any longer that provides a 2 channel music listener such a selection. It seems everyone has migrated to home theater or car audio. Pros: Sound, looks, price. Cons: None. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Surround Sound Speakers Written By Dave, Chicago, IL on Sunday, July 24, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these in conjunction with Polk TSi 400's and Polk TSi CS10's to replace my Bose Acumass 10 system. These speakers sound and look great in the cherry color. Although I'm using them as surround sound speakers they are also probably adequate as front speakers with the stands I purchased. I was hoping that with the woofers contained in all these speakers a powered sub-woofer would not be necessary. But if you want the true "theater" sound you need the sub-woofer which I bought at a later date. Strongly recommend these speakers. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Awesome set of bookshelf speakers that have been used for home theater fronts, surrounds and also living room 2 channel stereo system. Very solid construction, excellent build quality, superb performance. Tested Bose, Infinity, Pioneer and Polk came up the winner in this category and price range. Would buy them again in a heartbeat. Effectively no distortion and highest volumes I can handle. 14 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 nice stand mount speakers Written By Allen, Durham, NC on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers to use with a Peachtree Decco 2. I have owned them roughly two months now and have been really pleased with the combination. The upper frequencies and the midrange are clear and life like. There is a surprising amount of low frequency output for its size, but, depending on the recording, there are times I wish I could get a little more support for string bass and the like. I had the larger Rti A1s for a few weeks before I sent them back for these. The RTi A1s had a fuller lower midrange, but there were times that they seemed tto sacrifice upper midrange accuracy for lower bass extension. One last consideration---these speakers will really sing with good power and a musical signal. I hooked these up to a Yamaha surround receiver and it revealed all of the receiver's inaccuracies. Hooked them back up to the Decco 2 and got a much more musical sound. I wish I could hear these Polks with a Peachtree Nova which has more power. Might be even better than they are. Aesthetically, these are very attractive speakers sitting on some 24" stands. 5 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great sound for a good price Written By Mike, NJ on Saturday, November 27, 2010 I have had these speakers for, about 2 years now and I am very impressed with the high frequency detail and the very rich mid range frequency. The lows are there and very powerful for a bookshelf speaker. I had originally hooked the RTi A1s to my old 30 year old stereo. I heard detail but most of the time the highs were grainy and the lows muddy. But after i bought a NAD C355BEE from Crutchfield, i then heard what the RTi A1s had to offer. The detail and the liquid sound is amazing! No grain or muddy bass. I give credit to both the NAD C355BEE and the Polk RTi A1s, the two make a great pair. Both are worth every dollar$!!! 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Polk Audio RTi A1 Written By Kelly, Alachua, FL on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 Overall these are very nice speakers. I am currently using them as a stereo set and they work well even without a subwoofer. Quality of sound seems to depend on quality of the broadcast and/or input media. Adding to the speakers to make a 2.1 or 5.1 system would most probably improve the output as well. However, these speakers produce a robust sound with very articulate voices and rich music on their own. 8 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Polk Audio RTi A1 Written By Grant, Eastern Massachusetts on Thursday, October 15, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got the Polk RTiA1 speakers because of a recommendation. I was told they would provide a clean and natural sound. To an extent they did, but there were some issues. I compared the RTiA1 to the Boston Acoustics CS26 and my Thiel CS0.5 and Boston Acoustics CR77 speakers. I used a stereo setup to evaluate them. Out of the box the RTiA1 speakers had a beautiful, though a tad dark, real natural cherry exterior. I have natural cherry living room furniture. They fit in well. They also seemed to be solidly built. Well it really all comes down to how they sound. The RTiA1 highs were clear and just a tiny bit subdued. Vocals were where the problem came in. There seemed to a small amount a distortion in the lower end of the vocals. Since this was at the lower end, it wasn't noticeable with female vocalists. It was noticeable with male vocalists. It wasn't a big deal, but it was there. Also the vocals were a tad recessed. The bass was clean, clear and well defined. There are slightly warm speakers, much like my Thiels, to which they compared pretty well. They weren't at the same level as the Thiels, but that's to be expected at this price range. The Boston Acoustics CS26 and CR77 speakers were both more livelily and the vocals were more forward then with the RTiA1s. That being said, the CS26s couldn't match RTiA1s in warmth, imaging ability or clarity. 20 out of 28 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Best bookshelf under $500 Written By Mike, Hamilton, New Jersey on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 The RTi A3 has to be one of the best values for under $500. The articulation and transparency of these speakers is nothing short of outstanding. If you listen to classical music you will be amazed as every nuance is captured. My collection of CD's includes Steely Dan's Aja, and Chicago's Chicago Transit Authority, both sound incredible! If you are looking for what might be the best bookshelf speaker for under $500, look no further. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk RTi-A1 = Best sounding speaker under $200 ! Written By John M, ABQ, NM. on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 WOW ! Built my HomeTheater with these as my front main L/R speakers. Teamed with Polk Audio's RM6752 Center, RM6751's for Rear Surround, and a PSW-10 Sub. These are being fed signals from a PS3 into a Yamaha RX-V463 via HDMI. Have the RTi-A1's mounted out one foot to the side of a 46in LCD HDTV mounted on the wall of my small, stone floor livingroom. The sound of this System is OUTSTANDING ! The performance of the RTi-A1 speakers are SPECTACULAR ! I am completly sold on Polk Audio Speakers, Yamaha Receivers, Sony PS3 (Blu Ray), HDMI Connections, and Crutchfield ! This setup, minus TV was a tad under $2K, and sounds as good or even better then my Nieghbor's "HighDollar" Amp/ A/V Pre-Amp w/ Klipsch $$ Speakers all around ! When my house is "on".. cars stop to listen ! 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great front speaker Written By Steve, Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, February 21, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great speaker for the front of my home theater. The sound is clear and full. It blends in perfectly with my other Polk speakers. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Compact and Powerful Written By Lee90125, Ridgeland, MS on Friday, February 13, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently came into enough cash to buy my first true home theater. I must say that after spending months agonizing over which components to get, that my decision to buy this pair was the right one. Things I took into consideration when choosing this pair were, size, power handling, reviews on this and various other sites, finish, utilization of front air ports and cost. I have yet to find a negative review of these speakers and the footprint they use is tiny, which fits my semi-minimalist tastes. I am currently using them as my front left and right channels, pumping 100w though a new Denon HD Receiver and they do not disappoint. They have had two months to break in and provide excellent clarity for music, movies and really shine with HD Audio. I look forward to having these for many years and when the space allows, I plan on using them to flesh out my system to a full 7.1 surround. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Little Speakers Written By Tom, NW, Arkansas on Saturday, January 17, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am only using these as surrounds in my system and as part of an overall speaker upgrade to RTi speakers. They perform very well and I am sure would be more than capable of doing much more than I call upon them to do. The sound is rich and clear. The fit and finish is absolutely excellent. Polk makes fantastic products and Crutchfield is a class act to do business with. I am totally sold on both. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk Audio RTi A1 Written By Joe, USA on Monday, September 29, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After about 100 hours of use (mainly for listening music in stereo), the sound from these speakers is becoming extremely very real life. It improves with time. We are using a power amplifier instead of a receiver to get better sound. For TERRIFIC TERRIFIC AM/FM audio reception and sound we use a little Tivoli Pal radio to feed the amplifier (optional RCA-Miniplug cable required). Also you have to spend time to fine tune some details such as space between speakers, distance from walls and speakers height level. Thanks crutchfield! 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Good speakers highly recommend Written By David, McKenzie TN on Friday, August 15, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds beautiful. Use these in my bedroom, 5.1 system with RTi A3 up front, RTi A1 surround, CSi A4 center and a PS10 sub. Sony receiver. Love it. These can take power and sound good with U2 or Stevie Ray Vaugn at high volume. Wife loves em too but she cant take the volume. Ya know I dont see her as much as I used to, hmmmm? 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Solid Performance in a 7.1 system Written By Larry, Cincinnati, Ohio on Monday, April 28, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am replacing an 18-year-old 5.1 system and decided to upgrade to a 7.1 system. Wow, what a nice sounding product that is beautiful to look at. As more and more 7.1 movies are released on Blu-ray, these speakers will be used as the back surrounds in our home theater room (TR). I have a dedicated 2,850 cubic foot TR and added a complete 7.0 system from Polk (I already had a new 12" 350WRMS Sub). A tower speaker was ruled out due to the WAF (Wife Appreciation Factor) and the built in 15' wide entertainment center. I paired these speakers with the RTiA3 front speakers, FXiA6 surround speakers and CSiA6 center speaker. The sound field produced is amazing for clarity and balance and with a proper AVR & HD player; the Wife & I are never going to the Cinema again! Whether you are watching a concert HD Disc or Hollywood movie, the sound is so accurate and believable to what you are watching. These speakers produce an experience with sound that I have never heard before. The Sub takes care of the LFE and that allows the rest of system to work the mids and highs to perfection. The sound is warm, inviting and immerses the listener. I can now listen to HD movies at higher SPL without any discomfort (at certain frequencies) that bothered me with the old system. This system will easily support me for another 18 years (Sorry Crutchfield!) 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Good little speaker with 'pluck' Written By Ken, Maplewood, NJ on Monday, April 14, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The A1 is a very good little speaker. I purchased these to replace a relatively new pair of Polk Monitor 40s which I liked a lot but were larger than I wanted. In my view the A1's sound at least as good as the 40's, better perhaps, and are much smaller with, again in my view, a vastly superior cosmetic appearance, the cherry veneer is very nice. In comparison to the larger A3s the A1s are very nearly identical with respect to sound quality in my view. I had hopped hat the A3 would be a great step up from the A1 based on my experience with the CSi A6 versus the CSi A3 center channel, but this was not my experience. Please see my comments re the Polk CSi A6's. Yes the A3s are larger and have 'more' sound, but to my ear, testing in my main room with my gear, the difference was not that substantial, perhaps the A3s were a bit more open, but this is really a touch call. Every time I would listen to the A3 and think they were better I would swap in the A1s and not be so sure. In the end, given my inability to observe a substantive improvement in the A3s over the A1s, the smaller size was the deciding factor for my HT application especially given the fact that the HT has a sub so the marginal extension of the A3 is largely redundant / unnecessary. Hope this helps, Crutchfield is great, would not buy anything they carry from anyone else. 44 out of 46 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked is the 20 to 125 watts RMS value or peak value? [ Nicholas Sep 03, 2014 ] 2 answers I feel it's very much an awesome value. I power these speakers (wall mounted) w onkyo tx-8050. My space is a 900 square foot bottle shop. We run internet radio and play vinyl daily. RTi A1 's sound awesome bass without a sub. For our purposes, perfect. Sometimes we have upwards of 40 ppl in that small space and they still deliver. hope this helps. PC [ PHILLIP Sep 09, 2014 ] Is RMS or "root mean (average) square value. The rule is that Max or Peak values are are clearly stated in any equipment specs. There is One Peak value not a range of Peak Values. The RTi's are very efficient speakers so they can work well with a low power amp as low a 20 watt in the connected channel. They can work in a high power channel up to 125 watts as well. 125 is the maximum RMS watts recommended for the speakers. It seems these speakers were well tested at different power supplies for a certain time period. I am using then with a Denon AV-E400 185 Max output watts/channel (90 watts RMS/Channel). Sounds great. If 20 t0 125 were peak values, (there can only be ONE peak value) they could'nt hold 90 watts RMS. Hope this can help.

The dollar was generally firm. EUR-USD lost about half a big figure from on the early London high at 1.2939, taking the pair back below 1.27. The mvoe was prompted by Spanish news agency Efe reporting that 11 banks from six European countries are likely to fail the stress tests, which are due to be published on Sunday (Oct-26), though the ECB has since dismissed this has "highly speculative."

The dollar is trading marginally firmer relative to yesterday's London closing levels. This extends the theme established yesterday in the wake of the Reuters report that the ECB is planning on buying corporate bonds in the secondary market, which sparked a EUR-USD sell-off. EUR-USD today edged out a six-day low of 1.2706, which is one pip shy of last Thursday's low. USD-JPY logged a two-day high of 107.12, though struggled to maintain levels above 107.00 ... Read More ►

Had injury years back that made me hang up the bow traded it for a muzzle loader. Then went to my dealer on a whim and tried the Bengal. That was awsome smooth compared to my old Jennings Buckmaster.... then I shot the Pantera and I was sold.... I am a big guy and like a little bigger bow. Bought the wife a new Jaguar the next day. Just to say it is good to be on the team. Happy shooting.

|John Barber Wins Both Twin-25 SST Modified Features, Bobby Lippa Jr., Jeff Merritt, & Jesse Hartloff, Daniel Majchrzak.
With the clouds rolling in it looked like the night would be a wash, but the rains held off and the BullRing fans cheered for there favorite drivers as they put on a great door-to-door Friday night racing event at WCIS.
The SST Modified 25-Lap feature race the #01 John Barber returning to WCIS in his Modified with new colors and sponsors. Barber started on the front row for both 25-lap features, took the lead before the first lap was in the books, and Barber never looked back.

At the strip, it is #01 Barber by three car lengths, in second #51 Bill Hebing and third is #91 Joe Evans.

Merritt backs off just enough so Johnson can recover and the race stays green. #69 Meyer starts to drop back while Johnson's recovery from the spin gives him new confidence as he is now finds him in the second spot. Meanwhile Merritt drove the #33 machine to the front of the pack and drives off with the lead.

NEW GADGETS: AMAZON KINDLE AND BLACKBERRY BOLD 9700Friday, March 12th, 2010
I'm super stoked on a couple new gadgets I've picked up recently, and I thought now would be a great time to do a product review with some photos!
First up, the Amazon Kindle. This device has singlehandedly rekindled (ha ha) my love of reading. Yes, I realize there is an Apple iPad coming out. I'm not concerned. The reason why I chose the Amazon Kindle is for one purpose: reading books.
The e-ink is amazing, and it is EXACTLY like reading a book. It looks exactly like ink on paper, but with a thin protective cover over it. This is why I will not be using an iPad for reading. Yes, I may use it for web surfing, but not for reading. I do not want to read on a backlit screen when I have to sit at work all day looking at a computer screen.
The device itself is gorgeous. It's extremely light… lighter than a paperback book. Unlike a normal book where you need two hands to hold the pages open, I can read my Kindle with one hand. After reading for 8 hours straight, this is a huge benefit. I love the design of the Kindle.
The back is also really pretty, with brushed metal and a little bit of rubber for non-slip. I should note that this is the 2nd Generation Kindle, but it is not the Kindle DX. The Kindle DX is bigger and harder to hold in one hand… it's better used for magazine/newspaper reading. Also — the Kindle is hooked up to 3G Wireless in Canada, so you can buy a book wirelessly no matter where you are. There is no data plan or package you have to buy… simply load up the Amazon store on the device and buy a book, and be reading within 30 seconds!
Since I purchased my Kindle a couple months ago, I've read 16 books and read over 13,000 pages (yes, the Wheel of Time series is long and took up a lot of that page count). The Kindle is also VERY thin. I bought a Flexstand Bookstand from M-Edge (pictured here) so that I can read it in bed or while eating without having to hold it up. I highly recommend this accessory.
Here's a photo of all the accessories I have for my Kindle. I bought a pink leather sleeve for protection, a New Yorker leather cover for traveling or when out or about (it hooks into the Kindle deftly so it can't fall out), and the Flexstand Bookstand. All from M-Edge Accessories.
Needless to say, I'm in LOVE with my Kindle. If you're a book reader, I would say it is a MUST buy at only $250. After buying 10 books, you will have saved yourself back the cost of your device since e-books are only $5-10 compared to $10-30 for physical books. You. Will. Love. It.
Next up… my new Blackberry Bold 9700. I've tried so many different phones, from Nokia to different Blackberries and yes, even the iPhone. But Blackberry just does it right. Everything about a Blackberry is perfect for the type of user that I am. I am completely in love with this phone.
It's fast, the new trackpad is great compared to the trackball, and the new OS is incredible. I love the new features. The new Blackberry Messenger is much improved, and since 60% of all my friends have Blackberries, it's the perfect and quick way to communicate with most of my friends.
It's really small and light. The new grippy back is a nice feature as well. I upgraded from my Curve 8900 to the 9700, and it's not a huge difference. The 3G is a really great upgrade, and the new OS is too.
There are now tons of apps for the Blackberry, and Blackberry World is very slick. From budget software to games, I haven't found anything lacking on the Blackberry that I've wished for that was on the iPhone. And the keyboard is a big plus. I can type faster than any iPhone user and much, much more accurately. Yes! I challenge you to a type-off. But seriously, I find typing on my phone an absolute pleasure. Everything I've ever wanted in a phone, is in my new Blackberry Bold.
So that's it folks! My new gadgets. Feel free to leave any questions or comments below!

There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace? If they have not, there is something wrong with them -- so keep seeking! If what you do has brought you inner peace, stay with what you believe is right.

Peace Pilgrim (1908 - 1981), born Mildred Lisette Norman, was a pacifist, vegetarian, and peace activist. The spiritual classic Steps Toward Inner Peace is a transcript of a 1964 talk she gave on KPFK radio in Los Angeles, California. In that year she completed 25,000 miles on foot for peace and stopped counting miles but continued to walk on her pilgrimage for another 17 years. Her only possessions were the cloths on her back and the few items she carried in the pockets of her blue tunic which read "PEACE PILGRIM" on the front and "25,000 MILES ON FOOT FOR PEACE" on the back. She had no organizational backing, carried no money, and would not even ask for food or shelter. It had to be offered without asking. For 28 years all her needs were met. "Aren't people good," she would often say. She spoke to all who would listen about the entire peace picture; peace among nations, peace among groups, and the very important "inner peace" because she believed that was where peace began.

Senate Republicans release first North Carolina budget details
RALEIGH (AP) — The Republican-led Senate offered details Sunday evening of the chamber's North Carolina budget proposal for the next two years, a spending plan that the Senate's leader said would absorb still-spiraling Medicaid costs and create a new state division focusing on rural economic development.
The spending plan would spend $20.6 billion for the year starting July 1, or essentially what GOP Gov. Pat McCrory wanted to spend in his budget two months ago.
Numbers provided by Senate leader Phil Berger show spending in major categories would be mostly flat compared to the current year, except for health and human services and natural and economic resources. Medicaid spending by the state would grow 11 percent to nearly $3.5 billion.
The General Assembly already is expected to formally approve more money for Medicaid to spend this fiscal year to deal with yet another shortfall in the health insurance program for 1.5 million residents, mostly poor, disabled and elderly residents. A provision in the 413-page Senate budget directs the McCrory administration to come up with a Medicaid reform proposal by early next year.
Senate Republicans also want to shift the State Bureau of Investigation from the oversight of Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper to an agency under McCrory's purview. The budget proposal released later Sunday shows a $33 million transfer from the Department of Justice, where the SBI now resides, to the Department of Public Safety, led by McCrory appointee Secretary Kieran Shanahan.
Cooper scheduled a news conference Monday — the same day Senate budget subcommittees were expected to meet to consider the spending plan — with law enforcement to call for the SBI "to remain independent of the state's executive branch." Cooper's office blocked successfully a previous effort by Republicans two years ago to move the SBI to the Department of Public Safety.
Senate Republicans planned to hold their own budget news conference Monday. It's expected the full chamber will hold the first of two required floor votes Wednesday. The House will pass its own version. The two chambers are aiming by June 30 to present to McCrory a final plan they hope he'll sign into law.
The Senate proposal would raise spending by 2.3 percent compared to what's authorized this year and also lays the groundwork for the Senate tax overhaul proposal, a Berger news release said. Berger said last week he didn't expect the actual tax plan — including lower income and sales tax rates — to be inserted in the budget.
"This budget stands in sharp contrast to the failed attempts of previous leaders to tax, spend and borrow their way to prosperity," Berger said in a clear reference to Democrats, who controlled the legislature for more than 100 years before Republicans did in 2011. The legislature passed budgets over the vetoes of Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue in 2011 and 2012.
Berger's office said the budget would spend $54 million on many public school reform efforts that Berger has sought, as well as $10 million for a merit-pay system for schoolteachers in the 2014-15 fiscal year. State employees wouldn't receive a pay raise next year.
The spending plan also would eliminate an annual spending cut for local school districts in which they're expected to return a portion of money — recently it's been in the hundreds of millions of dollars — they receive as a cost-saving measure. The change, the news release said, would "make the education budget process fully transparent." It wasn't immediately clear, however, how the public school changes could affect classroom employment.
Senate Republicans would create a new "Rural Economic Development Division" within the Department of Commerce and put $55 million over two years in a new "Rural Infrastructure Authority." Operating funds for the nonprofit N.C. Rural Economic Development Center would be eliminated, or a loss of about $16.7 million annually.

The outcome at St. Mary's High in Stockton on Friday, Nov. 9, ends Tracy's season and moves St. Mary's forward in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II bracket. St. Mary's will host Del Oro High of Loomis next week in the second round.
Tracy senior guard and defensive end Nate Shelton said Friday's game was a tough loss, and while the Rams got the win Shelton was proud of how his team finished its season.
"I can tell you that this team is a lot better than the scoreboard shows," he said of the Bulldogs, adding that team unity was Tracy's advantage all year. "That's the tightest-knit family in the entire section."
The Bulldogs (7-4, 4-1 San Joaquin Athletic Association) and the Rams (9-2, 5-0 Tri-City Athletic League) were just about equal Friday on offensive yards, Tracy with 332 total yards for the night and St. Mary's with 348 yards.
The Rams scored first, with quarterback Kaleb Parrish finishing an 80-yard drive with a 1-yard push into the end zone. Tracy came right back as senior quarterback Luke Hanna, back in action after a shoulder injury three weeks ago, led an 80-yard first-quarter drive and scored on a 3-yard run to make it a 6-6 game.
The Rams' Jalen Ratliff ran the ball back 93 yards for the score on the following kickoff. St. Mary's scored in the second quarter on a 5-yard pass from Parrish to Ratliff. At the end of the half St. Mary's covered 84 yards in 29 seconds, mostly on a 64-yard run for Parrish that got him in position to complete a 9-yard touchdown pass to Perrin Boyd to put the Rams up 27-6 at the half.
Hanna completed 19 of 33 passes for 250 yards, including seven passes to sophomore wide receiver Josh Clarke for 84 yards, two to sophomore Nate Jones for 48 yards, five to junior Anthony Nunez for 42 yards and two to junior Eric Hawkins for 39 yards.
"We were able to move the ball, but we didn't finish when we should have in the red zone," Hanna said.
The Bulldogs missed a field goal on their first possession and were turned back at the 7-yard line in the second quarter. Tracy's best chance to score in the second half ended when the Rams' Dominique Browner intercepted a Hanna pass and ran it back 85 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Tracy's defense contained St. Mary's at times, with two interceptions in the red zone ending St. Mary's drives. Clarke snagged a pass in the second quarter, and Jason Nelson picked off a pass in the third.
The Rams collected 219 yard rushing, with Parrish totaling 86 yards on eight carries and Javon Wilson running for 54 yards on eight carries. Parrish completed nine of 15 passes for 129 yards.
"They were faster but we could still hold up with them," junior linebacker Chris Mahar said. "It's just that we'd blown our assignments and we didn't do our responsibilities like we were supposed to in the beginning."
