Question on Polk Rtia7
Comments
-
Website only says 125 watts as far as I can tell.
The 2125 V2 is 150, if you plan on sticking with the A7s I agree with Skip get the Halo a far better amp in my opinion the finese and looks and sound are better. If you move on to a more power demanding set of speakers need more power the Halo should be easier to sell.
I just got a new Halo and next to my wife it is the second love of my life. Sooo I say Halo all the way.Home Theater

They only make reference to powering it up and switches working, nothing to how it sounds....static, uneven volume, etc.
I'd stay away....HT SYSTEM-

The more i read and learn about home audio, the more i think that for my setup i should just have bought rti a5's instead and keep the extra money for a csia6 center and rti a3's for the rear

Possibly, everyone has different needs and wallets. If your using a subwoofer, the 5's would be a good choice especially if you only want a receiver to power the whole thing.HT SYSTEM-
