    I liked the 10.1s better than the 10.2s, fwiw. Midrange to die for at that price point.

    Two Channel Setup:

    Speakers: Wharfedale Opus 2-3
    Integrated Amp: Krell S-300i
    DAC: Arcam irDac
    Source: iMac
    Remote Control: iPad Mini

    3.2 Home Theater Setup:

    Fronts: Klipsch RP-160M
    Center: Klipsch RP-160M
    Subwoofer: SVS PB12NSD (X 2)
    AVR: Yamaha Aventage RX-A2030
    Blu Ray: Sony BDP-S790
    TV Source: DirecTV Genie

    How would it compare with the RTiA1?

    10.1 better for music, RTiA better for theater. Just an opinion.

    I can't make the comparison based on not having spent time with the new Polk RTi line. I can say that as a Diamond 10.1 owner that they are a fantastic set of speakers at their price point. I would rate them as significantly better for music than the RTi4/6 that I have previously owned.
