Polk RTi A5 vs Polk RTi A7
Hi I'm sure this has been asked before but I'd like some specific advice.
I'm looking at getting some of the above speakers for music system paired with a Rotel RA-12.
I've read that the speakers mature with age, my concern is will I get enough bass from the A7 at moderate volume? I've listened to both in store but can't really decide!
Also If anyone knows, can I hook up a subwoofer to the Rotel amp if I get one in future?
Cheers!

Yes and yes. I prefer the RTIA7's over the 5's due to the better bottom end. Nice speakers for the money.Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
from what I heard the a7's lack midrange and the a5's lack bottom end. I have the a5's paired with two 8" subs. For me its perfect for music.HT Rig Samsung 64F8500 |Pioneer Elite BDP-52FD|Pioneer Elite VSX-32| Two Carver TFM-15cb Bridged for mains|Polk Audio RTiA5 Cherry|Polk Audio CsiA6 Cherry|Polk Audio T-15 Heights|Polk Audio FXia6 Surround|DIY 8cuft Dayton Ultimax 15" powered with a Crown XLS1000

A7 better for 2.0.
A5 better for 2.1.I have found that tube based computers provide the best sound quality. ENIAC and MANIAC I offer a smooth, well defined and articulated sound unmatched by the current silicon based CPUs.

A5 plus sub.
