Innovative Design The RTi A3 features the latest generation of Dynamic Balance(R) polymer composite drivers for smooth wide-range response with low distortion. 1-inch Silk/Polymer Dome Tweeter delivers smooth response and better detail. PowerPort(R) bass venting for superior clean, low distortion bass that you can really feel.PowerPort vastly reduces chuffing or port noise and provides deeper, more powerful, lower distortion bass than could be realized with conventional ported or sealed designs of comparable size. Magnetic shielding for safe placement near video sources. Mylar bypass capacitors in the crossovers extend high frequency response and improve detail and transparency. Neodymium magnet, low-viscosity ferro-fluid cooling, and a heat sink on the back of the magnet, create better power handling and reliability. Gold-plated 5-way binding post inputs (with wide holes for large-gauge bare wire connections) for the most secure connections and the most versatile wiring applications. Less

These Things Could Make Your Ears Bleed

Pros They're easy to get at the mall
Cons Who would want them
Recommended it? No

My husband is a very opinionated, and a highly studied audiophile. Audio is his life. Just so you know, I do have a little bias on this subject matter. My husband is starting his own company, Crowley Acoustics. He will be building high efficiency, low impendence, full range speakers. In other... Read full review »

A Lifetime of Listening Enjoyment

Pros Wonderfully rich sound, stereo from almost any angle
Cons Not suitable for surround systems
Recommended it? Yes

Let me start out by admitting I own a pair of Bose 901 Series V speakers, not Series VI. Epinions doesn't have a category for these speakers that have served me so well over the years, but that's ok. Many of the observations I am about to make will apply to Bose current 901s too. The differences... Read full review »

I have these speakers set up in my room on nice little stands on each side of my TV. They look great and sound even better. I have them matched with a CS225 Polk center speaker. For both movies and music (all types, I listen to a large variety of stuff) I've been completely satisfied. The amount of... Read full review »

Sounds Like Their Big Brother

Pros Big sound, Very Affordable, Quality Construction
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

After owning a pair of RT7 for a couple of years, I thought I would try one of the RT7's smaller brothers to use in my bedroom. In the tradition of Polk speakers, I have been very pleased with the RT3. These very affordable speakers would feel right at home as satellite speakers with a sub, or, as... Read full review »
