Polk Audio designs and manufactures speaker cabinets to exacting audiophile specifications. These RT
i Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers are enclosed in more warm and inviting real wood than ever before. Given the choice between vinyl and real wood, who
wouldn't choose real wood?
The RTi28 is the successor to the famed RT25i, winner of Stereophile Magazine's 2001 Budget Component of the Year Award. The RTi28 carries on the tradition of sonic excellence and unsurpassed value that brought Stereophile to write: "It [the Polk Audio RT25i] is far superior to any speaker I've heard for less than $500/pair, and has become my favorite speaker for under $1000/pair... I've never been more impressed by an inexpensive loudspeaker."
Stereophile, September 2001
