    welcome to Club Polk friend.
    The answer is to your question is yes, huge.

    go and do an a/b comparo yourself if feasible. If not, save your money and get the rti4's.

    Ahhh I should make myself more clear. My buddy wants some Polk speakers he doesn't have a cpu. He likes my R15 but has the $$ to buy something better. He doesn't want to buy Ascends or sim. No internet speakers which I think is a better buy cost wise. He wants Polk. He was thinking R15 all around. He wants bookshelf. I didn't like R15 for fronts so I bought RTI6 I wasn't sure the Rti4 was enough upgrade for me= same size drive no matter how inferior. I couldn't hear RTI4 so I went one up to make sure I didn't have the need to do it again (soon). I posted my system I may not have golden ears but my setup is humble descent for my room. Now the RTI4 is a much much better upgrade for fronts than the R15????

    Thanks thats what I was looking for detailed answer. The RTI4 will sound similar but have more clarity and go louder?? I told him to get bigger fronts but wifey wants sats(tiny). I told him he wouldn't be happy and get bookshelf for at least the fronts. He likes his music loud.
