RTi10 Questions - Why isn't there more discussion on them?

adb3da

I found a guy locally selling a pair of RTi10, so I was doing the normal online research on here, and it just seems that these speakers don't get too much attention. Is it because the RTi8s are really nice and smaller/cheaper and the RTi12 is such a major improvement that people don't stop on the speaker in between? I know all three of these speakers are well respected, but I'd just like to get some fresh feedback on the 10's. Thanks!

It depends on what you're looking for... I have the RTi A7s (newer version of RTi10) and I bought them because I didn't want to use a sub for music. Powered sufficiently, the 10s will sound great.

I've seen some folks say that the RTi8s (RTi A5) have better midrange because they use 2 of the midrange woofers. If you have a sub, that'll fill in the low end. And I suspect that the 8s are easier to power.

If you have a powerful enough external amp, the 12s (RTi A9s) should include the best characteristics of the 8s and 10s with even better bass.

What would you be powering the speakers with?

I have a Denon 4310, but I am actively searching for a power amp on the used market. Hoping to find a diamond in the rough :cheesygrin:

The RTi10's are very good speakers. I use mine for mostly H/T as I have a seperate 2 channel system. From time to time I will use them for 2 channel and they sound ok. You will be able to power them nicely with that Denon 4310. You should also be able to get the 10's for a very good price these days also. Some people find the RTi8's a little bright for music.....so the 10's could be your better option. Before I got my SC-35 I used a Denon AVR-888 for my H/T and the 10's sounded very good run by the Denon. The 4310 would be even better than the 888.
