In today's comparison we invite you to see how the Polk Audio RTI A1 stacks up against the Klipsch R-14M. You might think it all comes down to the price, but frankly there is a lot more to it. For more information and product comparisons, check out our longer article here.
Everyone has different preferences and priorities, so to make choosing easier we have attempted to give a frank review of the products. Let's start with the Polk Audio RTI A1.
The challenger is the Klipsch R-14M.
The RTI A1 is the first passive model to kick-start the upgraded RTI A series from Polk Audio. They benefit from newly developed Dynamic Balance cone drivers as well as a more elegant re-imagining of the cabinet style.
Over to see what's on offer from Klipsch. We have reviewed several models from their Reference bookshelf series they make for marvelous models. They feature some high-end design assets such as their proprietary 90 x 90 Tractrix Horn technology. Which gives their aluminum Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) tweeter an edge over competitors in terms of their extended high-frequency response. The LTS method helps to minimize any distortion.
