REAL WOOD, REAL HIGH PERFORMANCE Why settle for vinyl speakers when you can have the warmth and beauty of real wood at the same price, with speakers from the RTi Series. They are wonders of industrial design: real wood, radiant with metallic highlights and racing car lines. Classic Polk performance in a design that speaks to today's high-end home décor. True performance art.

INNOVATIVE DESIGN The new standard in all out musical performance, the RTi12 floorstanding loudspeaker is the epitome of "Real Wood, Real High Performance."Its three 7" woofers benefit from having the surface area of a single large woofer with the low-mass and acceleration of small woofers. So RTi12 bass response is tighter, punchier, more accurate; accentuated by the addition of PowerPort Plus Bass Venting Tech nology.

Anti-Reson ant Enclosure Cabinet resonance can ruin the sound of an otherwise well-designed speaker. You don't want to hear your speaker cabinets humming along with the music (they don't even know the words), you want to hear the uncolored sound launched by the drivers and tweeters. We take special pains to make sure that Polk speaker cabinets are resonance-free. All wood cabinet Polk Audio loudspeakers are constructed of inexpensive low-resonance MDF instead of the cheaper and more resonant particle board used by many competitive speaker brands. RTi Series Speakers feature additional anti-resonance strategies, like asymmetric braces.

PowerPort® Plus For the new RTi10 and rti12 Floorstanding Loudspeakers, Polk engineers went a step beyond PowerPort Bass Venting with PowerPort® Plus. PowerPort Plus works with two ports (front & rear) and a series of internal "plates" (as opposed to PowerPort's single port) to further reduce air turbulence at the mouth of the bass port, and increase bass efficiency. PPP allows even lower frequency tuning and lower turbulence for less noise and distortion, and more big musical bass, even at lifelong volume levels. This technology delivers performance that greatly exceeds conventionally ported speakers with bass that you truly feel, as well as hear.
