RTi12 vs. RTi A9

[stian]

Hi guys.

Have any of you heard both these speakers?

I FINALLY got to hear the RTi12s today, and oh I liked it alot! =)

How are the RTi A9s compared? Almost the same "sound", or is it something totally different?

THANKS!

I cant say for the 9s but I own the 12s and they are amazing. If you like what you heard go for them, you can find close out deals on the 12s all over the place.

Sherardp,

thanks for your reply. I´ll probably order the 12s this week =) cant wait!!!!

yeah you can get a heck of a better deal on the 12's than the a9...so if money is an issue the 12's would be great.

never heard the 9's but the 12's just laugh at whatever i toss at them and i got a great deal on them

I haven't hear the 9's yet, but playing with the other new models at work, it seems that the cabinetry is deader on the new ones. I guess that is because of how they created the curves of the cabinets, by layering several thin pieces.

Fireshoes,

what do you mean by deader?

[fireshoes]

The cabinets don't resonate as much, less vibration. Initial impression is a tighter sound.

Ahh ok! =)

I would probaby not hear the difference with my amateur ears!! hehe..
