WOW, fellas I am saddened to say that I swung by a somber CC this afternoon and laid eyes on some of the new Polk Line. Their listening corner was in shambles so I did not take the time to do what truely matters and audition these new bookshelves. I was however suprised by how light they were. That is to say they felt unlike any pair of Polk speakers I am acustomed to. They were incrediblly light. I don't know what to make of this.

I have also most certainly come to the opinion that the new silver plastic front baffels are aesthetically unappealing. In my opinion they do nothing to improve the perceived quality and finish of he speaker.

Daniel,

I lifted the bookshelves for the first time today. I was indeed suprised by just how lightweight these speakers are. I personally like the looks of the speaker. As assumed, its a hit or miss thing.

Im growing more and more accustom to the sound, and conducted a head on head shootout between the RTi6 and the RT28i's. While not exactly a fair comparison, I prefered the RTi6's, by a long shot. Guess the new RTis are growing on me..
