Excellent Sounding Speakers

byTech_23 Jan 23, 2000

Pros Great sound quality & imaging
Cons Polk's name going downhill??.....
Recommended it? Yes

Bought these for my first Home Theater setup. I was quite surprised to how well they sounded. A lot crisper than the Inifinity Series I listened to. I was originally going to go with the RT1000s, but decided not to because of the extra midrange in the 800s and I wanted to leave a subwoofer separate... Read full review »

A very musical speaker

Pros High quality at a reasonable price, exceptionally detailed sound field
Cons May appear too "bright" for some tastes (see review)
Recommended it? Yes

One question to ask yourself when considering this speaker is what does another $100 buy you. Essentially, this is the model 600i with an additional 6 1/2" woofer. I've written a review of the 600i, so I'm not going to repeat what I said about it here. I would suggest you read that review first,... Read full review »

Pros Great looking AND great sounding...
Cons Might need a sub?
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased these speakers through Crutchfield.com two months ago on sale for $600.00. Being a college student with a limited income they were a significant investment for me. But after having listened to them the past couple months I can honestly say I have no regrets about buying them.

Pros Deep bass
Cons Big, bit muffled, need to turn up treble on amp.
Recommended it? No

My Original review is below, but I felt I had to update my review to reflect my (and my wifes) change in feeling about the speakers over the time I've had them.

Initially I thought they were great, but then over time I realized I wasn't getting a really great sound from them. The highs... Read full review »

Pros Best sounding, ACCURATE speakers for the price!
Cons Absolutely, positively NONE.
Recommended it? Yes

If you're looking to build a home theater system and you're on a budget, which are most people, Polk Audio, and more specifically, these RT800/800i speakers are your BEST options. They JUST were reduced from $800 to $700 at Crutchfield.com, and Circuity City ran a weekly special at $600. I did a... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

The RT800i's are almost IDENTICAL to the RT800's (the RT800i series were manufactured a year after the RT800's). The only noticeable difference is that the mid-range drivers are injected with blue dye (the appearance does look nicer, but with the grill on it most of the time, this is not at all...
