Polk Rti A3 Bookshelf Speakers - MSRP $399 - Facebook $130

[@Andy.Garcia]

Great to have you back! I own these, as well as the RTiA7’s. I consider them hidden gems if installed correctly in a controlled environment for music.

[@Vgamer4550]

I have these setup in the garage with an HSU 12" sub and I agree with your assessment. Closeup they can be a little fatiguing but give em a little bit of juice and and open room and they can play ball. Great review, good to see ya back.

[@blazermdx]

Polk and HSU is a great combo, especially for a garage. Haha! Thank you for the support!

[@bingdong8571]

miss you. Humble honesty is definitely missed in the audio community lately. Nice to see ur return.

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

Look who is back 😁 get the videos going

[@gcuesta]

I love them, I got those in Cherry, excellent price $240, Crutchfield 2019, and sounds very good

[@Victrola777]

Matched with the right equipment, they are fantastic, but the tweeters need taming.

[@matthewthedude146]

Welcome back! Hope to see more for you!

[@michaelsenkowsky4172]

I run a pair of rti4 which the rtia3 directly replaced in my bedroom and some days I think they're my favorite speakers I've ever owned and I've owned a BUNCH of speakers. I also have a pair that I use as front heights in my atmos system thats all rti-line speakers

[@maincharacter2677]

When’s the next video?

[@acemacgruber6593]

Tron is a great movie. The arcade game was pretty good too.

[@kevin_m]

Have these for side surrounds with the rti A5 for fronts. Best I could afford back in the day and they still work great!

[@blazermdx]

They still hold up very well. Should have zero issues keeping up with surround duties. Thanks for the feedback!

[@JodyM2]

I bought a pair of the A5 this weekend for $150 I like them

[@voodootomato]

Great overview...still waiting to hear your impressions on the peachtree!!!

[@DrNoahBoddy004]

I will NEVER sell mine! Feed them A HIGH-END Tube preamp, and revel in smooth linear sonics! They perform admirably.

[@mk1mcqueen277]

Amazing video Bro thanks

[@MrJhardencdj]

These Polks are part of the Klipsch line-up? 🤔 Glad to see you back nonetheless

[@kaneda7katsuragi]

what did you sell the kef r3's for? (the dream speakers)?

[@salaovdeen]

Hi can you review Polk rtia9

[@TheaterAtReference]

Glad to see you back. Whatever happened to your Klipsch's THX Ultra's?

[@blazermdx]

Unfortunately, I sold them a few sets ago. Replaced them with 3 KEF R3 bookshelf speakers. I still miss the Ultra2 sand my Episode setups. Hopefully one day, I’ll have more room and I land another set of either. I have a speaker problem though:)

[@TheaterAtReference]

@@blazermdx I'm in the same boat brother I like me some speakers 🤣

[@nascarracer886]

Any chance you can review some older Monitor Audio? Silver can be had around 350 ish.

[@donbustoarigato2997]

I have a pair of the Cherry veneered. They look even better. But I don't use them. Tweeter is too hot. I prefer the Elac Debut B6s, the first generation, less fatiguing more laid back tweeter and more bass

[@dperr338]

Hey Average Guy Hifi, could you PLEASE help me out? I just purchased these RTI A3 speakers secondhand on Facebook Marketplace and the power ports had been removed. I still have them but the screws are missing. Could you please tell me which screws these take? I talked with Polk customer service and they weren’t able to help me since these speakers were discontinued. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

[@markpro8039]

just picked up a mint pair for 30.00

[@blazermdx]

What a deal! Congrats

[@burton7023]

2:30 You can't get these anymore but i had them great speakers especially for the price probably preform at 2 or 3 times the price the real cherry veneer is sweet way better than klipsh at same price i now have the lsim 703 all i can say is excellent

[@blazermdx]

I do these videos in one shot and I totally forgot to mention the wood version of the RTi lineup. I think the wood versions are the best looking in this series and I usually prefer the black versions of speakers. I still miss my Polk LSiM 703. I found a Cherry pair at a pawn show last week for $380 but someone dropped one of them so I passed. Thanks for sharing with us!
