Got this pair of Polk RTA-15T's and was wondering if they were worth keeping or should I dump them and pick up something else? I kind of like the way they sound, but was wondering if they're too outdated and technology has passed them by. If I should dump them, what would be a good replacement?

    Dome tweeter, fairly advanced network, solid build, durable woofs (rubber surround), and most importantly, you like they way they sound. Outdated? Far from it. I'd use the term 'classic' myself.

    Sounds like you've got a winner, I'd love to have a pair in the collection.....

    Cheers,

    OK. I'm sold. There's so much BS out there about how technology has raced forward since these speakers were built that it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. I can't figure out why a speaker that sounded good when it was new can't measure up to the current products a few years later. Other than to say that the audio stores need to move product. Has speaker technology actually changed that much?

    A good sounding speaker will always sound good. If you get right down to it, basic loudspeaker principles have remained fundamentally unchanged in many, many years. Not to say there are not nuances and improvements in technology but as far as revolutionary, IMO (my opinion) I don't think so.
