Someaudiofan Unregistered guest | I bought a pair of polk Rti100s about 8 months ago. They sound great especially for $300 each. They are clear and bright. I assume the Rti12 would sound even better. Ive always thought polk speakers were good quality for the money. Go for the Rti12s. |

New member Username: BeaverPost Number: 3 Registered: Aug-04 | monitor gr60 are nice but the spec on the kliplish are better i think, not for sure. as far as the rti12 polk there almost 400 more canadian then the kliplish rh-35. rh-35 are 1200cdn and the polks are 1600cdn. but i know for a fact the kliplish speaker specs are better then the polks. do you think monitor gr60 are better then the other two. never thought i would be stressed out looking for speakers. i thought that would come when i guy had too pay for them. |

Bronze Member Username: JamespMansfield , TX USA Post Number: 38 Registered: Apr-04 | I would prefer the GR60's for the long term. Monitor Audio speakers will have a smoother top end compared to Klipsh. If you like the sound of the Klipsh and Polk better than you should concentrate more on those. |

NegativeC Unregistered guest | That Amp should be rated to 6 Ohms and will play 4's with no problem. I'm running the 601 with MMGs which dip below 4 and I've never had a problem. Check out this: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/onkyo_TX-SR601_review_01.ht ml They run the M80's on a 601 with no problems. |

New member Username: BeaverPost Number: 4 Registered: Aug-04 | okay thanks for the input. i've narrowed it down to the mti60 and kliplish rf-35. so what do you guys think. i've never had a chance to listen axiom speakers but i heard there good. so if anybody listened to both tell me which sounds better for ht. |
