			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On setting these hi fi speakers up its pretty obvious that as with the other Polk Audio speakers I&#8217;ve seen the RTI-A1 speakers are a quality product, the build quality is superb. They look rather nice with a good wood grain look and feel they also have nice heft making them feel solid and reliable. The posts are are also well built and feel sturdy.</p>

<p>The sound is very impressive and quite inspiring for something in this price range (and at this compact size). I found the overall sound to be uncolored, and detailed both in the top and midrange. The lower end was warm, full and with a very good amount of bass presence, youll have to decide for yourself whether your setup reuires a Subwoffer or not, for our purposes the RTI-A1s performed very well without. All in all they produced a nice balanced and coherent sound which seemed to work well in the living room area we tested them in both with the grills on and off. I thought they stood up well to their more expensive cousins the <a href="http://hifi-reviews.com/2009/07/polk-audio-rti-a7-floorstanding-speakers-review/">Polk Audio RTI-A7 Speakers</a> at lower volume levels. All in all the RTI-A1 speakers are well worth the money and if used in an appropraite environment will give you many years of excellent relaxing to the ear audio.</p>
