    For me I think the sexiest Polk speaker is the LSI series but not in my budget nor do I have the place for em. :(

    But from what I have seen they haven't been really nailing the user reviews.
    RTi's seem to get almost nothing but positive comments...which is surprising.
    Compared to the LSi for looks the RTi looks kinda plain IMHO.

    Well guys, my A5's arrived tonight, and first impression is that the midrange is definitely stronger than the RTi10's. I'd say the imaging is slightly better as well. I crossed them at 80 hz, so my subwoofer took over and the bass sounded fine as well. I'll have to test some music tomorrow.

    So far I'm very happy with the switch and they couldn't look any better in my opinion. Simple but elegant. I'll let them break in a bit and report back. Also, I'll be switching to Ben's IC's from Monoprice ones. I expect another jump of sound quality from that switch. :)

    Center: Energy RC-LCR
