I don't know much about the BIC stuff, but I've read good and bad about it. The specs on that stuff seems a little too good, especially considering the weight of the components. I would be skeptical, until one of the more knowledgeable people on here reply. They sure do look cool though:D If you don't like the sound of your polk set up, you may need to upgrade your electronics, and not the speakers?

+1. I'll bet those horns are brighter than your current Polks. Have you tried backing down the treble a bit?

[Polkie918]

yea I was just curious....i have actually NEVER heard horn speakers....


could it be the onkyo receiver...i think i read they make the polks a tad bright....ill take a look at the treble,

Seems to me your AVR is the weak link in you set-up. Get the BIC's and go join the BIC forum.


Hehe, JK.

[Polkie918]

if the AVR is the weak link.....I was gonna get the onkyo sr806.......what else is comparable around the same price?

[vijayl]

u can check out Pioneer SC05 or 07 as well.

I had the bic ht-75 and did a comparison between them, the infinity primus 362 and av123 x-sls and the bics came in last by a good margin. Imo you'll be taking a few steps down coming from the rti8.

Agreed. And send those RTi8s my way :D

[Polkie918]

I’ve heard a rumor that next week Shick and Gillette are both introducing HTIB systems and Bose will release a line a razors and ball point pens. :D
