I'm considering upgrading my RTi70's and CSi40 to RTi10's and CSi5. I listen to a wide variety of music and have really enjoyed my 70's so far. However, my year with them is almost up so I need to figure out what to do or lose out on the upgrade option at CC.

My local CC does not have them in yet so I'm wondering if any of you have listened to the RTi10's yet. I saw a post on the 70's vs. the 8's and it seems like it was a toss up. I'm not too concerned about looks, but I am very concerned about sound. (okay...that was probably an obvious statement.)

Thanks for your feedback.

    Tough decision with out being able to audition them first. Anyone else in your area carry Polks besides CC? Your ears are going to have to make the final decision.

    If you are doing a side-by-side comparision, the RTi8's will probably sound better because of the extra midrange driver, but I heard the RTi10's playing in a room by themselves with a Denon 4802 and they were really incredible. I would try it I think. They will let you exchange if you don't like them, right?
