Hello people I have a question: Anybody here ever done a side by side or are very familiar with how the Polk Rti6 compares to the Paradigm Mini Monitor??? I found that the polk Rti6 was much clearer and more crisp than the mini. Imaging was a lil better on the Rti6 and the midrange and high end was more pronounced without sounding rolled off. Cant say the same with respect to the mini but I will say the low frequency extension was much better on the mini. That is where the Rti6 falls short---the low end of the spectrum. The Polk also was a bit more forward and at times a little too bright especially on some recordings from Linkin Park Meteora. Chester's voice was at times a lilttle harsh but I made a simple adjustment on the receiver and that made a huge difference. Anyways, IMHO the Rti6 was better over all than the Paradigm Mini Monitor with the eception of bass extension. Could anybody here give me an idea how the Rti6 would fare against the Ascend CBM-170??? The Rti6 is not near as good as the Paradigm Studio 20 but is better than the mini. So, is it better than the Ascend CBM-170??? Thank you for your time.
Phil


PS Oh also got to hear some Klipsch speakers and all I can say is "they are not for me". Dont like the tweeters at all. Way too bright and way too harsh. Bass is bloated, not tight and articulate, and very sloppy sounding to me. talking about being forward---Klipsch wrote the book on it. Some people prefer that type of sound and there is nothing wrong with that. Just not for my taste.
