Polk RTiA5 with Onkyo 606

[jeevez]

I am considering getting these speakers to use as my fronts with my 606.

http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/s...ividual/rtia5/

I have a PS3 and projector and this amp, but have yet to bite the bullet on really getting some good speakers. Does anyone have these speakers? If so would you recommend them? They'll be used as the front speakers (probably bi-amped) for movies, games, and music. Will this amp have the power to push them? I thought about getting a really small all in one 5.1 set but think I've decided to instead put together a more proper 5.1 setup piece by piece. Anyone else have any suggestions for comparable speakers in the same price range? Sorry for the abundance of questions . Thanks for any advice!


Edit: Should this maybe be in the speaker thread?? My bad, I thought that's where I was..
Edit 2: Thanks gearyt!

Budget?

I have the cherry RTi A5's as fronts, and absolutely love 'em. They're being easily pushed by my Onkyo 705 (though I would like to drive them with a separate amp in the future). You can pick up these speaks from polkdirect on ebay for under $400 a pair (plus shipping). It's Polk Audio's own ebay store and they have some seriously great deals. And they ship very fast..

Thanks tracy, are you running your speakers biamped? Also by budget is around $600 to about $700 (CAD) tops. I can get the Rtia5's at Futureshop for $600 for the pair, or can wait until I see them on sale cheaper there.

LOL, I just saw these on the Futureshop website and am now considering them. I was going to get the Polk 60's from Ebay as well as the CS1 for 562.95 CDN + TAX but I just saw this line on Futureshops site and am thinking their my best choice. I'll be going to Futureshop tomorrow to check them out and see if I can get them to knock of 100 dollars or so. I'll be likely picking up the CSi A4 centre as well plus a Macbook for my sister. So here's hoping.

Let me know what you do Jeevez as I'm in same boat.

Lol, you got good taste Eagle_23 . I'll probably be waiting a little before getting these as I'm moving in about a month, so I'll just wait until after then. Probably look heavy around Christmas as Futureshop does have really good deals on speakers from time to time. You let me know how your search goes and I'll let you know the same, ha.

So I got the RTi A5 (x2) for 299.98 & the CSi A4 for 182.99. Plus a free 50ft spool of Monster Cable speaker wire. Anyways I'll let you know how everything is once I get it properly set up.

Ha, you lucky bugger. I was out checking them out earlier tonight. Sound so slick. Must not pull the trigger before moving though, ha. Congrats though man , let me know how it sounds for ya. I just got the Nine Inch Nails concert on Blu tonight, wish I had those speakers to test them out already but oh well. Patience is a virtue...that I'm not good with, ha.

Sweet, I was just looking over the Futureshop flyer and they have a deal where if you spend over 500 on Polk you get the PSW 10 sub for free. So I went back to the store, receipt in hand and they gave me the sub. , now tomorrow I just have to go back and get the proper cable as my old sub had a different input then this one (a L & R input).

[jeevez]

How'd the speakers turn out Eagle_23?

PS, I sent you a PM

[Leshita]

Wow.
