Ok, I've got a pair of RTi4's and RTi28's and one has to go to ebay or be sold here. I used the RTi4's as fronts before the SDA's got here and the RTi28's were my surround speakers. I'm thinking of making the RTi4's the surround speakers.

So which is the better speaker? Thanks.
Current Setup:
Fronts: Polk SDA1-C
Center: Polk CSi3
Surround: Polk RTi4
Subwoofer: Velodyne ULD-18
Onkyo TX-SR500

    I agree with marker, go with what you like best.

    Ive never heard the 28's but have heard the 4's several times and think they are pretty damn awesome so Id be willing to bet the 4's are a little better. Polk speakers seem to get better with each new model.

    I think the Rti4's sound great, and I would use Rti4's as the surrounds. I think you can sell the Rti4's at a higher price if your looking at cost wise.
    Setup:

    2 Channel: Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand, T+A P 1230R, Primare SPA21, Oppo BDP-105
    PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    I vote the rti4 on fit and finish alone. I've heard both. They sound similar with the rti4 being more refined. Now if only it had those blue woofers... ;)
