Overview Specifications Customer Reviews
Discover the extra thrill of deep, precise bass when you get an elegant floorstanding speaker with a built-in subwoofer. The RT1000i is an excellent place to start for a medium to large room. Whether you're listening to stereo music, or using these powerhouses as the basis for a roomshakin' home theater system, you'll love with the RT1000i's explosive bass, lifelike clarity and 3-D imaging. If you're looking to fill an exceptionally large room with exceptionally powerful sound, think about adding an additional separate powered subwoofer to your RT1000i set up.

  • Designed for superior home theater and music performance
  • Ground shaking bass from a built-in internal 6.5" subwoofer in a patented High Velocity Compression Drive band-pass enclosure, with a downward-firing Power Port for low distortion; great performance even from low power receivers
  • Easily accessed front panel-mounted Subwoofer level control lets you adjust bass volume to best suit your system, room and taste
  • Low level (RCA type) subwoofer inputs
  • Composite Dynamic Balance Driver Cone for wide response and low distortion
  • Dynamic Balance Tri-Laminate Tweeter technology, with vapor deposited micro-layers of stainless steel and aluminum for clear, detailed highs
  • Available in three natural wood finishes, each standard and at no extra cost: Maple, Cherry and Black Oak
  • Magnetically shielded for safe placement next to your TV without picture interference
  • Anti-diffraction driver bezel minimizes grille diffraction for open, spacious, 3-dimensional imaging
  • Slim tower design conserves floor space, the RT1000i occupies less than 1 square foot
  • Gold-plated 5-way binding post inputs for the most secure wire connections
  • Adjustable leveling feet/carpet spikes for the ultimate stability on any type of floor

Wood at Vinyl prices - The first thing you'll notice about the RTi Series is their luxurious real wood finishes: beautiful light Maple, inviting Cherry, and serious Black Oak. What will really surprise you, though, is that you won't pay a premium for these distinctive real wood finishes. Our in-house computer controlled woodworking factory, we can offer these rich finishes at prices you'd normally pay for vinyl.
After the look, there's the sound. Just like the legendary RT Series before them, the RTi Series fit the bill whether you're looking for excellent home theater speakers or truly exceptional and musical speakers (because we all know that home theater speakers really have to do a lot more than just provide good movie sound). These RTi Series speakers have the dynamic range and powerful bass response you want for extraordinary home theater sound, and the clarity, spacious imaging and smooth response necessary to make everything from the latest techno-grunge rock, to your favorite recording of "Don Giovanni" sound simply fantastic.

"I consider this system [based on RT1000i] a real achievement for the meager asking price and a very satisfying performer in absolute terms."
