From looking at these, they look like an RT7 with a passive radiator. Am I wrong? Anyone know how they sound compared to another Polk?

    I have the S10's. I would guess to say your looking twords the bottom of the Polk chain. Rt series is close...but no cigar.

    Same driver and same tweeter and the S8, isn't it.

    I can buy a pair of s10's for $130 plus shipping. From what you say, I should buy those instead of the RT7s for $100.

    No, what I am saying is save your money. The S10's are not bad speakers...but with a little more time and a couple dollars more you could make a huge difference in a half decent speaker purchase.

    As far as the 7's...I believe they have a little better high end than the S10's. The 10's can be a little bright at times. Where the 10's will out class the 7's is in the lower end, but if you have a sub...it's a moot point.

    Thanks. I bought a pair of RT7s for $90 and a sub. Don't think I will ever part with this combo. I don't think I could spend an additional $500 and have a better sound, plus since the 7's and sub are black, they are like stealth speakers.
