Can someone tell me if there is a difference between the rt800s and rt800i. I have both pairs and have been using 1 set for rears. I would like to upgrade to some Polk surrounds for the rear and need info on which set to keep.
Thanks.

    Not much.

    The i's have real wood cabinets, two grills, different color driver. There might be something different to the crossover also. but not positive.

    I have owned both and preferred the 800i's... I would say it would be the better speaker but its a toss up really. If it were me I would match everything up to the 800i's..

    Nobody seems to like the felt like stuff on them.....:confused:




    I guess I just have a soft spot for them. They were the speakers that started it all for me. The original RT800's...


    Or poor taste.:o

    Stop fishing for compliments! I find it cheesy and inconvient, but I still have mine, so it's not that bad.

    You're also mistaken: the broken RT600 started it all for you ... remember those, and the UPS saga?!



    Yes and

    Nope.


    I seen the RT800 when they first came out in Ovation. I was 14-15 I think. And I fell in love with them.

    I finally bought them when I was 24. My first ever Polk Audio speaker.

    I then bought a pair of RT600's that were damaged in shipping. After getting the Insurance money. I found a Pair of RT800i's.


    And its been going and going and going ever since. I now have the Cat Daddy of Polk Audio speakers.:cool:
