    Atleast he was honest

    How the RT25i tweeter was a bit more detailed than the RTI4

    Would have LOVED to read what he had to say about the RT25i vs. the RTi28

    Did seem very fair. Spent some time last week with the whole RTi line at a local Tweeter. Enjoyed most of them...

    Just subscribed for the first time in many years

    Actually, Polk Audio is one of the few "budget" brands that Stereophile reveiws; and all the Polk reviews I have seen were positive. Usually they are way to snobby to think about any speaker below a grand.

    I'd like to see them review the Rti6...

    Agree, steve, doro,
    I have no doubt their reviews are "influenced" by the size of the MFG's ad budget (now there's "coloration"); not to mention if it's a line AudioAdvisor carries...

    I've subscribed a couple times, but before the year is up I've usually had enough... Still for $12...

    I do enjoy their music reviews, and their annual R2D4 issue... Have found several good buys over the years there...

    I hear ya, not a large amount of money to really expect to read something life changing. I like to keep fresh toilet swimming material handy at all times
