We have a pair of each, but in different homes, that are separated by a thousand miles about.
My question, I like them both, but have obviously never compared them side by side, but which, of the two mentioned, has more treble?

I realize they are the same woofer and tweeter, but read somewhere that one or the other was voiced with even a bit more treble than the other.

FYI, both seem to have too much treble, but not sure which had even more.

    Stereophile has measurements of both rti4 and rtia1. Both have a bump around 5 kHz iirc. But I think the rti4 is worse, i.e. Hotter. Not in a good way...

    The RTiA3 was also reviewed (favorably) by Stereophile
