Polk LSf/x vs RT f/x

rstrine

Hi, Me again.
Would anyone happen to know the difference between the LS f/x and the RT f/x surround speakers? I do see that they both have trilam tweeters. I'm still looking for a suitable match to my RT f/x so I can go 7.1.

Look at the components for both in service and parts ... I believe, although I could be mistaken, the LS F/X can be found in the SRT series as at one time these were what came as the surrounds for the SRT's.

I never thought to look in service and parts. I'll go there and see. Thanks

RT f/x is a front firing surround speaker.

LS f/x is a bi/di-pole surround speaker.

Both are the same generation of Polks and should match each other well.

I thought they were both bi/di ...

They both are Di and Bi pole switchable. The main difference at least physically I found in service&prts was that the LS had 2 mid/wfr and 1 tweeter trilam and the RT has 1 mid/wfr and 2 tweeters trilam each.
Maybe a good match? I wish that I could find out somewhere what they retailed for originally just out of curiosity.

My bad... Alll the f/x designated models are bi/di's...
