I can either get a pair of Klipsch RF-15 for $200 or a pair of Polk Audio Rti 10's for $300. If I will be doing a combination of home theatre and music, which should I do? I have a Klipsch RPW-10 for a sub so the lows aren't an issue.

    If money didn't matter I'd probably just get the RTi's but hey I'm still in college. Plus I don't need them for the lows

    Unbiased....I don't like Klipsch horns for music, so I'd take the Polks if they're gonna do double-duty. Klipsch horns tend to be bright and lacking in the mid-range, imo. They're fine for ht, but I'd def take the Polks for music.

    I haven't heard the Klipsch's, but the Rti10's are bright too. However they are great for HT, and not everyone dislikes a brighter sound.
    Setup:

    2 Channel: Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand, T+A P 1230R, Primare SPA21, Oppo BDP-105

    Klipsch's are brighter to my ears than RTi series. Aesthetically, the RTi's are better looking in the cherry veneer.
