Polk RTiA5 with Onkyo 606 - Blu-ray Forum

jeevez · 11-15-2008, 08:32 PM

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.
