Polk Audio RTI A9 Floorstanding Speaker (Single, Cherry) Review

The first thing I noticed in these speakers were their ability to produce midrange sounds effortlessly. This may be due to the driver configuration, but it works. But I'm not going to say the mid range just floats in the air like the high end speakers but does the job well. They need decent amount of power to sound at their best. I have a Denon 3805 (120x7) and feel its bit underpowered for these speakers as I have to push the volume way up for powerful sound to be produced, yet they sound great. In the shop they had these connected to a Denon Stereo amp (200x2) which drove these pretty well.

I used paradigm M9 as mains before (for 5 years) I got the polk and the paradigm were much easier to drive and their bass was more pronounced but clarity wise, polk wins hands down. Also I think the bass has better definition with Polk than the paradigm speakers which sounds bloated in comparison.

These speakers need good source material(CD/DVD/Blu-ray) to show its true potential as they reveal 'not so great' recordings pretty quickly. I have several reference audiophile recordings which sounds really great with these as those recordings prevail mostly in midrange clarity.

Speaking of the midrange quality, try playing the echo game scene from 'House of flying daggers' at a high volume. You will be amazed with the quality of the sound coming from these speakers. Powerful and a sharp punch of the drum and a soothing midrange percussion that's reproduced effortlessly with good authority and clarity.

Despite the size of these speakers and the number of drivers, you will still need a decent sub to complement it for movies. My room is pretty big (19x18) with high ceilings, that could be a factor as well.

I have also considered the price paid for these speakers in my review. There sure has been several other speakers which I think sounds much better, like Thiel, MA platinum series etc, that will make you be there than just listening to it. But, they cost few times more than polk and will need one hell of a good amp to drive them.

BTW - I also listened to the Lsi9 before buying these and that sound was at times a bit too warm for my taste but still amazing speakers for music, which truly dazzles with SACD material played via a high end player. But I wanted something for Movies as well and ended up with these. They gave me a 30% discount on the price which made my choice much easier.

Bottom line - Polk is value for money. Just choose the best ones they produce and you will be more than just happy with it like me.
