Is the RT90 any good. I've been scouting for some treasure deals on RTi8 and Rti10. I came across the 90's when I was looking at tweeters site. They have a buy one get one going. I was wondering if these were the crap the tweeters kept blowing out on or if these were any good. Polk doesn't even list this speaker on there site, kind of stange, but maybe one of you know something....
Thanks

    I think tweeter carries the T90EB. DOn't think it is an RT90. In any event, this speaker at tweeter is the Monitor 60

    Unless I saw it somewhere else, or maybe my eyes were getting screwy at night when I posted, thought it was RT. Just went back on tweeter and it is T90. I looked at the picture and they do look like the 60's. Do you know if these are any good or would it be worth it to just wait and get something like the RTi8/RTi10??? It's only $350 for the pair of 60's.

    They seem to be goot speakers. If you search the topic you will find a lot of debate between the RTi line and the Monitor line. If you are looking to do a home theater, the matching center speakers are different. (RTi goes with CSi, Monitor does with CS). So depending on the center you have that may affect things. Also, if you look in people's sigs you will find a fair number of people running the monitor 60s, some even list them as the T90. If you hold out the the RTis I am sure you will not be disappointed. But for such a discount I do not know if the RTi's would be 2x as good. If size (decor) were not an issue, I would likely go the monitor route if starting over today given that huge discount.

    Went and had a test run today on these. I wasn't to impressed, then listened to the rti8/rti10's. I did like the 10's as they seem to open a lot better. Guess I'll have to wait and see if these go on sale soon.

    from time to time you will find used ones in the "for sale section" of this forum, also Ebay will have new ones - shipping is pretty steep.
