Just a follow up from a very pleased Polk owner.

I'm just kickin' back on a mild Saturday with a cold beer, listening to some smooth jazz over the digital cable (Marcus Johnson, Denny Jiosa, etc) and can't help but grin with my admittedly modest but great sounding setup:
RTI4s with a PSW303 connected to an Adcom GFP-555 and Carver M-1.0t.

After some fiddling and tweaking with speaker placement, toe-in, and subwoofer xover and volume, I'm just grinning at the sound...open, spacious, clear, detailed - for the money.... love it!

I'm playing all sorts of program material and if there is anything negative to say is that my setup will brutally reveal bad program source - the old adage - garbage in = garbage out is true. But give the setup some nice clean source to play and it is sweet: from rock, bluegrass, jazz, even Christmas Music.

Happy Happy - Joy Joy,
Erik

    Welcome to the forum.
    I still can't get over the sound quality I'm getting out my rig in stereo-I got xm radio via Directv and until I picked up the T90's I never realized how good the sound was on only an analog signal:-)
    Polk RULES! end of discussion!
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    That's freaking awesome Erik! :D

    If you get some time, post your thoughts on the performance of those loudspeakers, in the product pages of the homepage. That's a great set of comments.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
