Have anyone heard these Speakers? I know they don't sound as good as my Polk 1.2 SDA. it's time I get some new speakers. These are really bass Reflex right. What Audiophile listen to Bass Reflex speakers?

    If you've heard both, why are you asking? Or was that to be sarcastic? If you're looking for genuine advice, you might want to be a bit clearer in your post.

    I listen to these speakers all day. As for comparing them to the 1.2 SDA, I have never heard them. From the A5 and A9 though, the A7 cuts back a bit on the sharper high frequencies and gives out more mid-bass and bass. As for being an audiophile speaker it depends how you're going to get them for. You should go to a Polk dealer like Fry's and try them out. We have them all on demo.

    Is it me or did the above post cross a line in the forum rules? Anyway I DON'T work for any electronics outlet or Polk. I'm just a guy who loves good sound. I have a pair of the RTiA7's and they sound fantastic. Very good full range speaker. A little warmer sounding and not as shrill as the RTi10's which have similar driver configuration. I use mine mainly for two channel analog listening and with my Pro-ject 6.9 turntable and Grado Prestige Gold cartridge and Kenwood 9100 amp with Carver CT-Seven pre-amp they deliver deep bass beautiful mids and very articulate highs. I've had mine a little better than 7 months and they never cease to amaze me. I also have them on my home theater setup and with the other Polk speakers and Pioneer Elite receiver and two 10" subs they make for a totally immersive sound experience. I bought mine on a super sale brand new for $720.00 canadian dollars. Even at double that well worth the price in my mind. There are some reviews on the the products page. Mine is there as well under Kelvin F

    I'm new at this I'll try to be more clearer in my post Johnlocke88. What I'm going to do now is just upgrade my tweeters in my 1.2's and 2A'S I need driver 6510 replacement. The person I bought these (the 2a's ) from put a 6502 in there.
