Polk RTi a7/a9 opinions?

[yepimonfire]

Always wanted to own these as they just look like they can put out some serious spl, and several dealers are currently selling them pretty cheaply. I’m a fan of Polk, having owned their monitor 70s before, I liked them. Does anybody have any experience with them? How deep is the bass extension? Do they handle high volume and big dynamics well?

I have heard the A9 speakers, I thought they were fine at the time. As for dynamic range, they should be more capable than the Klipsch bookshelf speakers you are using. If you are really concerned about a wide dynamic range, you should be looking at something like JTR, Pi, JBL Pro, or QSC K series.

Most of these are significantly out of my budget though. Even the cheaper speakers are going to run $1600 a pair

I would say if the Klipsch bookshelf speakers have wide enough dynamic range for you, the A9s will more than suffice.

A pair of these are $660

Flat pack cabinet pair $235

That should give you the dynamics you want at an affordable price.
