I don't know much about the BIC stuff, but I've read good and bad about it. The specs on that stuff seems a little too good, especially considering the weight of the components. I would be skeptical, until one of the more knowledgeable people on here reply. They sure do look cool though:D If you don't like the sound of your polk set up, you may need to upgrade your electronics, and not the speakers?

+1. I'll bet those horns are brighter than your current Polks. Have you tried backing down the treble a bit?

yea I was just curious....i have actually NEVER heard horn speakers....


could it be the onkyo receiver...i think i read they make the polks a tad bright....ill take a look at the treble,

Seems to me your AVR is the weak link in you set-up. Get the BIC's and go join the BIC forum.


Hehe, JK.

if the AVR is the weak link.....I was gonna get the onkyo sr806.......what else is comparable around the same price?

vijayl

u can check out Pioneer SC05 or 07 as well.

I had the bic ht-75 and did a comparison between them, the infinity primus 362 and av123 x-sls and the bics came in last by a good margin. Imo you'll be taking a few steps down coming from the rti8.

I’ve heard a rumor that next week Shick and Gillette are both introducing HTIB systems and Bose will release a line a razors and ball point pens.
