rta8tl vs rti100 vs rt600i please help

[PAPI1968]

trying to figure out what is the best way to go. ht is important but 2ch is my relief from the day. i had a set of rt12 that i loved and regret getting rid of and a set of 11rta tl that i also seriously regret getting rid of:(. if it helps i currently have a cs350ls center and rti28 rears that will fill out the system. any help is appreciated since i wont have a chance to hear these before buying. i left the flock for nht and now yearn to return home. would also love to find either an rt12 or rt16 so i wouldnt have this dilema. thankyou everyone

Welcome to Club Polk. I think you would be best served finding a set of used RTi speakers. Those blue woofers were a good mix for HT, and 2 channel. I too have enjoyed the RTa series owning the 15TL's. They work real well with the CS350. Its a tough call, but its easier to find RTA's than others. The RTA's are better 2 channel IMHO. Watch Craig's list, and hopefully you can score on the cheap.

I was really impressed with RTA 8Ts that came through here last year. For a small floorstander, they had surprisingly deep and punchy bass. They timbre match stock SDA 1Cs, as do the 11s and 15s. I like the RTis, but the RTAs are something else, much smoother through the mids and not as nasal at the top. RTA would be my pick.

I'll vote for the RTA series, just a better "all around" speaker,IMHO.

It's SO nice seeing the RTA's getting some respect!!!
