The Polk RTi A5 Floorstanding Speaker Pair in Black delivers powerful, high-quality sound in a compact tower design, ideal for audiophiles seeking premium performance without the bulk or high cost of larger speakers.

Key Features

• Compact tower speaker design with two 6.5" midbass drivers
• Curved cabinet styling with real wood finish in black or cherry
• Dynamic Balance and Klippel Optimized drivers for clear, distortion-free sound
• Damped Asymmetric Hex Laminate Isolation (DAHLI) cabinet design for accurate sound reproduction
• Gold-plated 5-way binding post inputs with bi-wire and bi-amplification capability

Design and Build

The RTi A5 features a curved, teardrop-shaped cabinet that enhances strength and reduces panel resonances, avoiding the typical boxy look of many speakers. The real wood finish, available in black or cherry, complements your room décor with elegance and durability.

Sound Quality

Equipped with silk dome tweeters and midbass drivers, the RTi A5 speakers utilise Dynamic Balance and Klippel Optimized technologies to ensure outstanding performance at both low and high volume levels by minimising distortion and sound colouring. The DAHLI cabinet design uses a 6-layer laminate with viscous layers for optimal shear damping, resulting in clean and accurate sound reproduction.

Premium Connections

High-quality, gold-plated 5-way binding post inputs provide secure and reliable connections. The RTi A5 supports bi-wire and bi-amplification setups, offering flexibility for audiophiles. Unlike cheaper models, these speakers do not use spring clips or plastic terminals.

Endorsements

Stereophile's Robert J. Reina praised the RTi series, stating, "I enjoyed every minute I spent with the RTiA1. The speaker's greatest strengths—the natural and detailed midrange, the excellent bass extension—are unheard of at this size and price." This reflects the RTi A5's ability to deliver exceptional sound quality in a compact form.
