I am considering getting the polk rti6's but also like the look of the Axioms m22ti. I have seen in the arcives lots of reviews which compare the m22's to the lsi series, but not the rti's.

Most people agree the lsi series is better than m22's, but what about the rti series?

    Really gets down to comparing the LSi 7 and RTi 6 models, doesn't it?

    If you have a Tweeter location handy, you can do your own comparison. If not, use the dealer locator and find a Mom and Pop Polk outlet near you...

    The m22s are not worth 400$... maybe $250 at the most. Shoody build and shoddy vinyl. I didnt like those speakers.

    Please make sure you listen to the Axioms...esp. their tweeters. I personally think they are very harsh and not very musical. Great for HT but not for music with a lot of highs....

    I agree with 2+2. Axiom M22 are very bright fatiguing speakers.
