in Speakers
This is my first Polk speaker purchase and speaker upgrade since 1992. My Infinity reference four model speakers have been retired (and are being fixed) not ready to let them go yet. I must say the addition of the RTiA7,RtiA3, csiA4 and a DSW pro 440wi to the last remaining Acoustech rears and other sub are nothing short of...um...ah...well...absolutely amazing. Very fluid with wonderful fidelity and stereo separation.They are such a pleasure to listen to. Wonderful highs & mid-range with more than acceptable bass which is only enhanced by two subs. Retirement has now taken on a new meaning. So I guess the Infinity's will take there place next to the even older Micro Acoustic Pro1"s (circa 1979) in the storage closet. Looking forward to years of listening pleasure with Polk.
