I'm the new owner of RTi A5s & so far I am very happy. That being said I must admit I am entrigued by the Klipsch Heresy III. Don't know why, I guess I'm just and "old school" guy? I read & understand why polk does not use horn tweeters but the unbelievable efficiency of the Heresy III has me very interested. I have a DWS pro 600 sub which I rarely use so bass is not a huge concern. I have also looked at the LSi 15 but am not sure my Jolida 202 has the output to drive that speaker? Any thoughts much appreciated.

    The A5s are great on HT, but just ok on Music.

    Most people say that the A5's, which i own, are good for HT but not as much for music. Normally the A9's are recommended as being the best of both worlds in the RTi series. You could also step up to the LSI's as well. i know that the LSi's are 4 ohm so you would want to make sure that you are able to power them.

    I dont know anything about the Heresy III so i can not comment on them at all.
