    No No....

    RTi70...

    I loved the lines before that line up... the current line isnt to shabby either.

    They sound like a very good rock speaker, not as open as my DTs - a lil more forward, more tinty.. one thing is for sure, it brings back ALOT of memories. I had the RT35i when I first started and I had always wanted a pair of RT55. So now I have a pair to play around with... AND its signed by some Polk legends! Couldnt ask for more...

    Its a different sound, its exactly what I need to hold me over until my Tylers arrive.

    Steve, of course I do man! :)

    Are they miss matched?
    One looks like an "i" series and the other looks black.

    Congrats either way.

    I have a pair of the same sitting in hibernation right now. I love that model! It's a very kickass speaker!

    Trey scored one helluva deal on those. I even got to witness Al and Paul sign off on them.

    Very cool! Gotta love those tri-lam tweets. They're my favorite from all the different tweeters Polk used in their RT line. Enjoy, Sid.

    dude, I miss them allready :D. no one should underestimate those things, they served me well in many capacities for nearly 8 years. beefy, close to 40 lbs a speaker.

    they sound pretty good on tubes too, believe it or not, there either 90 or 91db's efficient, which makes them low power friendly. will definitly tame the forward feel they can have on tube power.

    looks cool with the signatures

    Trey, pm'ing you my email addy as requested.
