I'm very pleased with them, they are great speakers for the price. Cabinets are very solid and the sound is well balanced with good punchy bass, but it's not overwhelming. I also looked at the Polk TSi500's but was surprised how flimsy the cabinets felt, at even moderate volumes they were vibrating unpleasantly. In my opinion the RTiA7's are way better speakers and well worth the extra cost. from Crutchfield.com I upgraded to the Polks from some JVCs that I had for 9 years. Though they were good, they never sounded good on the lows... from Crutchfield.com Excellent looking speakers with excellent sound. The highs and lows seperate very well. I was going to spend the extra money for the Polk RTiA9 instead I went with the RtiA7 which I am glad I did. The RTiA9 would have been probably to bassy. from Crutchfield.com They more than keep up with the DSW500 and put out tight clean bass. If you buy these and plan on just using a decent receiver to power them you are making a mistake. Spend the extra cash and get either a higher end receiver or get a good amp that can give these babies at least 150 watts to each of them in 2 channel mode for good 2 channel listening. from Crutchfield.com These speakers kick something serious. They're big, they're heavy and they're expensive but they're worth it. Ever since I heard a pair of Polk stereo speakers at a friends house over ten years ago, I've been waiting to get out of school to get my own. I wasn't disappointed. from Crutchfield.com I would highly recommend this Polk product. The beautiful furniture grade cherry finish, the crystal clear highs and life-like midrange, and especially, the tight low bass response all make for an excellent value in speakers. from Crutchfield.com These are some really wonderful speakers. I auditioned literally dozens of speakers from Polk, Klipsh, Energy, B&O etc. Some of the ones I tested were 10 times the price of these Polks and even excluding price considerations, these were the best I heard (I even enjoyed them more than the more expensive Polk LSi Series). from Amazon.com I purchased the Polk Rti A7's, along with the Csi A4 center channel, at the end of December. I have had them about a month and a half as of the writing. from Amazon.com I have been in the process of replacing my HT speakers, moving away from my piecemeal 5.1 setup (old Altec fronts, Bose surround satellites, Boston Acoustics center channel), to an all-Polk 5.1 configuration. From the research I did prior to actually buying anything, reviews seemed to stress that the RTI-A polk line sounds just about as good as other companies' speakers that typically run for twice the price of comparable polk offerings. from Amazon.com After receiving these speakers in only 3 days I finally got them out of the box. Hesitant at first to purchase them without actually seeing them in person, I did so anyways. from Amazon.com
