After measuring my own t90e I have found that polks measurements are not 100% accurate. I want to buy the RTI A7 but i am down to inches of space. Any owners could you please post an accurate Height and Width. Also is the feet included in the width or is it just the cabinet?:confused:

Thanks Polkies:smile:

    41.75h x 18.5d x 8.5w

    That's with the grille attached, and the depth includes the hardware at the bottom that stick out about 2 inches.

    I strongly suggest you do not remove the outrigger type feet. Sitting a speaker cabinet flat on the floor is a definite no-no.

    Seconded.

    The only part of my speakers that sit flat on the floor, are the spikes.

    Well I think I just screwed myself. I wanted the Csi A6 however the new tv stand that i just bought had specs at 8" H After opening the manual says it actually only has 7.5" height clearance.DAMN!!! If there are any Csi A6 or Csi5 owners can you give me a precise height measurement as I have found many net specs are off by a little. Also any Rti A7 owners what is the width on the feet at the front and the back. I am pushing tight quarters here because of the stupid entertainment cubby that was built with my house.

    CSi A6 is 7 3/4" high at the front.

    RTi A7 is 8 1/8" wide at the rear feet and 10 5/8" at the front feet.

    i think the a7's will fit then at 9 inches from the face going back the cabinet needs to be 8.5 inches wide or less and from the measurements you just gave me i think that is the case. I going to go ahead and order the 7's however i'm screwed on the csia6 and will have to get the csi4 Damn!!

    Thanks dude for your help

    I'm pushing it but I believe i'll have at least 1/4 of an inch between the tv and the cabinet and a 1/2 between the other side of the cabinet and the wall. Funny thing is depth and height not as much a issue just width. 51 inch wide tv and two 8 & 5/8 wide speaker cabinets counting moulding diffrences in a 71 inch space I'm barely making it. We shall see soon physically if all this is accurate. gonna order the RTI A7's as soon as the get them in stock again. My SC-35 gets here on tuesday and I'm ready to start my upgrades!!!!

    I hope that all this hassle and money is worth the sound difference from my current system.

    My 'A7s measure 11"W w/their feet. Allow room (height) for spikes... ...they're worth it!

    My CSi A6 7 7/8"H, 24"W, 14 1/4"D including grill. Allow 1/2"+ for your speakers "to breathe."

    I have a possible solution to my problem. I could place the csi a6 on the bottom shelf (4 inches off the ground)but i'm not sure how this will effect the sound or I go with the csia4 on the second shelf 14 inches off the ground.

    I run a CSI A4 with my 7's and it sounds fine. I dont have anything to compair it to because this is my first setup but it is no slouch. I am pretty sure your going to be thrilled with the RTI line up. I guess if you wanted the largestest center channel the buy a RTI A9 and lay it on its side.
