Hi rebuy,

FTA = Free to air (normal television viewing).

I did venture into the Denon AVR settings and managed to get the PSW505 working with FTA and also in stereo mode.

I now find the...

Okay, since my last post I have plugged the PSW505 to the 4311 AVR using the LFE IN and changed the crossover settings on the AVR from 250hz to 80hz, set the LOW PASS to 60. The changes when...

Hi Guys,

I recently purchased a Denon AVR4311 and using it with a PSW505 but have been concerned perhaps the sub is not optimised to its full potential because it does sound quite underwhelming...

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what mod's are being done to the 10B's and how much difference or gains is being obtained?

Cheers, Pete.

I was intending to put the sub smack in the centre of the two main speakers to give an accurate soundstage.

Cheers, Pete.

The amp is the Accuphase E205.

I was also figuring as you suggested that I could put the sub and main speaker cables together in the "A" speaker binding posts.

The owner's manual didn't have...

After having used my Polk PSW505 sub with my HT for a few years, I am curious how it would sound used in my 2 channel system. It may not be a good match for the system, but at least it may give me...

Hi,

I was hoping if somebody could advise me if there is a replacement tweeter available for the M4.5 bookshelf speakers?

The original tweeters have been replaced with a RD0202-2 tweeters,...

Hi Robert, I've previously owned a set of RTi10's. They are a capable HT speaker, but if you're preference is 2 channel music then I'd avoid them.

Hope this helps.

Quite simply RTi10's are home theatre speakers and they are pretty good for that purpose.

I had the same issue with the brightness, but also with the lack of mid-range, even though I was using a...

I can pretty well relate to all the posted comments in this subject. Most of us seem to reach the crossroads. After numerous upgrades (and inadvertant downgrades) I learned the worst lesson of all...

I have a Yamaha AVR which is a capable receiver for HT. For 2-channel music it's too bright and very painfull. I ended up buying a seperate stereo amplifier. The phono output was **** too!

Why don't you try disconnecting everything except the centre speaker and sub, and use one of your RTi10's as the centre speaker. Surely that would give you a really good basis for gauging the sound...

I agree about 2009 being a critical year for Polk Audio. If you mention Polk to hi-fi dealers in Perth they pretty much screw their nose up. I am aware of competitive rivalry, but IMO if a product...

I've had my 683's for 3 days and they're getting better by the hour, just ask the neighbours! No listening fatigue hear folks, warm, smooth and effortless. Did somebody mention these were bright? I...

I found the Yamaha AVR capable of driving the RTi10's for HT, but IMO inadequate and very bright for 2 channel music.

You are of course 100% correct! That is why if you prefer 2 channel (2.0) music then IMO do not buy the RTi10's. HT does not challenge the capabilities of a speaker in the same capacity as music...

Hi nm4710, thanks for your thoughts re the B&W's - I'm very happy! Polk speakers are very well regarded and known in Australia. Unfortunately it has become common knowledge that the recent models...

Hi nm, I know what you're saying but I, and others, tried all the tweeks and stuff and I upgraded all the bits around it until it became obvious the speakers were below par. When you consider I was...

Geez, you know how to hurt a guy! Honestly though you don't know how fortunate you are living in the US when it comes to hi-fi. I look at a lot of used hi-fi sites and FS forums in the US and the...

Hi sandworms, I feel your pain. I went through denial, then disappointment, then disgust, then sold them! My new B&W683's have reminded me why I like music!

I recently sold my RTi10's - I hated them!! The midrange is very underwhelming, the highs are too high, and the bass while deep can be booming. Soundstage, also very underwhelming!! RTi10's require...

Hi Dave, I recently sold my Polk RTi10's for a set of B&W 683's. They are worlds apart! IMO Polk Audio is trading on the name they made in the 80's and have let die-hard Polk fans down. You will...

Hi wizzy, well it's good to know it wasn't all in my head! If only I'd done a direct comparison with them I would be in possession of the 10b's and $1100.00 richer! A lesson well learned.

Moving...

Well I bit the bullet and took the loss ($). I sold my RTi10's as I could not listen to them any longer.

I'm now considering purchasing B&W683's. I had a demo with my R3 TT and Accuphase amp,...
