Front Speakers with subwoofer

[JJ]

All towers have woofers capable of decent low-end frequency extension - the RTi As have woofers, but not built in subwoofers. That would be their LSi line, or some of DefTechs tower offerings.

What is the difference between woofer and subwoofer?

According to Polk's site, the RTi A7 / A9 have subwoofers.

Thank you for the responses. This is going to save me some money as I put it toward a "great" sub (I am considering SVS PC12-Plus).

The term woofer and subwoofer drivers are used interchangeably. Normally, a woofer has a frequency response that does not go very low and its high frequency goes up to a couple of thousand Hz. Subwoofer drivers go much lower and their upper frequency is limited to a couple hundred Hz. Powered subwoofer simply means that the speaker has a built-in amplifier to drive the subwoofer. Your receiver drives the mid-range and tweeter.

Most commonly, a subwoofer refers to an enclosed box with a relatively large subwoofer driver.
