WHAT IS GOING ON??????????????????????

22khz???????????????? That is lower than any of the speakers in the line!!!

80hz????????????????? Is Polk going Infinity on me?? Thats 20hz less than the RT25i!!! -3db, which is what Crutchfield normally does. Smaller cabinet, less effeciency.......

I'm just not seeing this......

Seems they sacrificed alot to get them dual binding post on that speaker. Hopefully this thing sounds better than what the specs are making it out to be. The RT25i was awesome, and the specs murdered this. Hopefully this is one of them moments when specs mean squat. I just don't understand.......

22KHZ??????????? When the rest of the line is.......26khz???

    Actually it's more likely to just sound more irritating...

    If I'm not mistaken, CD's are only recorded to 20kHz (and Sid, the 22kHz is the upper end of the spectrum) and you can't (unless you got the ears of a bat) hear that high anyway.

    The DQ-10 has a piezo super tweet that goes out flat to something like 40kHz or some such. It's crossed over at like 17 or 18kHz. Many folks just unhook 'em and can't even tell.
