Our thoughts

Separately enclosed midrange drivers and a three-driver bass array make this the big-room tower in Polk's RTiA line, dressed in real cherry veneer.

The curved DAHLI enclosure is designed to keep cabinet resonance low, so that the drivers, not the box, set the tone. Each midrange driver sits in its own tuned enclosure, the aim being cleaner detail through the vocal range, and PowerPort Plus venting is intended to smooth airflow from the port for a more controlled bass. Dual binding posts allow bi-amp or bi-wire connection for owners who want that option as their system evolves.

They suit owners with a large room who want full-range scale for film and intimate jazz alike. Our pair is in very good condition, complete with boxes and manuals, and estimated to be around 3 to 4 years old. Call our team to talk through amplifier requirements and room fit before you decide.

The Audio Tailor team, Murarrie showroom

We have acquired a pair of these Iconic series from Polk Audio the RTIA 9 tower speakers.

In very good condition and complete with boxes and manuals this pair is in the real wood finish cherry coloured. This series was one of Polk's most admired and desired series for many years and we estimate these to be around 3-4 years old.

These are very large speakers so we suggest that you contact us BEFORE ordering if you need a shipping quote as pre loved speakers do NOT qualify for free shipping.

It is strongly recommended that these would best suit a local pick up as they are huge speakers with a high risk of damage due to their weight and size. Original cardboard boxes are in good condition but internal foams are not complete so shipping poses more of a risk. Freight cost will be expensive for these.

Here is the GUFF !!!

Polk RTi A9 Floor Standing Speaker is a high-performance powerhouse and the ultimate manifestation of our RTiA Series. Featuring Dynamic Balance® transducers—three 7-inch bass drivers, two 5 1/4-inch midrange drivers and a 1-inch high-frequency dome tweeter—the RTiA9 will fill even the largest room with energy and excitement. With a mind-blowing 500 Watt power capacity, these speakers can take everything you can give them and more. Watch high octane action movies in their full grandeur or delight in intimate jazz performances.

Polk RTIA 9 Tower Speakers Key Features

  • The proprietary curved, 6-layer DAHLI enclosure design creates the optimal shear damping for a more rigid, acoustically inert enclosure and minimal cabinet resonances. RTiA9 cabinets are designed for clean, accurate sound.
  • The two 5 1/4-inch midrange drivers are housed in their own tuned internal enclosures for increased clarity and lifelike detail.
  • Klippel motor optimization uses laser measurement technology to ensure a smooth excursion path at either end of the volume spectrum for uniform performance at both low and high volumes.
  • Polk's proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance technology allows our engineers to design out the distortion-causing driver and system resonances, so you only hear the good sounds.
  • Durable, computer-modelled, injection-moulded butyl rubber surrounds suppress unwanted cone resonances for a lifetime of reliable sound.
  • The RTiA Cascade Tapered Crossover eliminates the comb filtering and beaming, common to multi-driver speakers, which degrades the quality of the audio and collapses the soundstage.
  • Beautiful curved furniture-grade hardwood veneer cabinet finishes, with sleek trim accents in black or cherry.
  • Computer-modelled anti-diffraction grilles enhance the good looks while minimizing sonic interference.
  • PowerPort® Plus bass venting is our patented design for smoothly transitioning the airflow from the port into your listening area, eliminating turbulence and distortion, for bigger, more musical, deep bass impact.
  • All Polk loudspeakers are timbre-matched within their series, designed with the same components throughout, to achieve seamless speaker-to-speaker blending effects in multi-channel systems.
  • Dual gold-plated, professional-style 5-way binding posts, for the most secure connection options.
  • Dual binding posts allow bi-amp or bi-wire connections, for the ultimate in customized high-performance audio.
