RT55 for rears with LS 90's??

[NotaSuv]

There is a pair of mint RT55's for sale locally.. will they match to LS 90's mains and cs 350 ls center.....looking for some rears as what I have now is ok but not Polks..and I would like to go all Polk......thanks for any input

Id get a pair of ls-fx or fx 1000 for rear duty. These are dipole/bipole speakers which are better suited for rear surround sound.

Not sure about the match, but if you can get the RT55 for a decent price, I'd get them anyway. They are a great set of speakers.

It really depends on the setup and room. The 55's aren't too far off from the 90's, 2st gen vs 2nd gen trilam. I've found f/x speaker beneficial when installed on the side walls, direct radiating (like 55's) for rear wall.

Like the good man said above me, just get them if you can buy them right.

thanks guys..they are a pretty good price....but my addiction is getting worse :)
have picked up 5 pairs of speakers in the last month..LOL... as I tell the wife "its too a deal to pass up" dont know how many more times I can use that one..guess I can always set em up in "her" room and tell her I got them for her..
is the tweeter in the RT 55 the same as the LS90?

Is a 1" Dynamic Balance Tri-laminate dome tweeter in the RT55

Thanks again all still kinda new to Polks..but have been extremely impressed so far with what I have heard......

I ran RT55's with the LS90 and CS350. you'll be fine :)

that set up served me well for almost 2 years. I spent a bunch on the LSi set up I have now and like it, but I wuold have been perectly fine with the old set up.

enjoy it

If you have the space for them (they are monstrous bookshelf/monitor speakers) and if they will be to the rear of your seating area, go for it if the price is right (like around $185 or less).

I think the RTxxx and RTxxxi series with the trilam tweeters (as well as the centers and FX speakers from those series) match well with the LS90s. My center and FX are from the RTxxxi family, and they match my 90s well.

actually picking up a pair of mint LS 70's this weekend from the same guy who sold me the 90's and 350 he just wants them out of the house.....will cost the same as buying 2 replacement drives for the 90's will use them for awhile and I always have extra drivers if needed..especially at that price......was very surprised and happily at that how well my front 3 sound.......extemely well balanced
