I haven’t done a dive in them, but from memory, the Polk is probably closer to the rsl 10s than the 12s. Neither one can touch the 12s, and I think it might be the best value on the market right now.

j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Jul 11, 2005 32,533 0 113 Mar 4, 2024 #4 I guess Polk listened and learned, because their previous subs were really not too stellar. But given the comparison to the RSL 12S, that's not even a question

S snakeeyes Audioholic Ninja Apr 13, 2018 4,727 0 113 Mar 5, 2024 #6 I believe the monolith 12 is free shipping and still on sale for $699, so that might be another good choice if you don’t mind the size and weight. Dimensions (H x W x D): 22.8" x 16.7" x 23.6" Net Weight: 98.5 lbs. Reactions: William Lemmerhirt

S skab11 Audiophyte Nov 8, 2012 5 0 1 Mar 5, 2024 #7 Well, I am just looking to spend $500. Would you guys recommend the RSL 10S MK2 or the Polk HTS 12?
j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Jul 11, 2005 32,533 0 113 Mar 5, 2024 #8 Looks like the Polk has more output in the 30-60 range, but the RSL has better response overall. I'd go with that.

William Lemmerhirt Audioholic Overlord Jan 8, 2017 12,005 0 113 52 Mar 5, 2024 #9 I’d buy the 10s for that money for one, I think its overall performance is better, especially in low bass. But on top of that, RSL has exceptional customer service.
