On Polk's site, for the A9's (and my 12's), the specs say "Electrical Lower Limit -3 dB" of 30 Hz, then it says "Electrical Total Frequency Response" of 18 Hz - 27 kHz. I'm not exactly sure what that means. Maybe it means the Polk's start rolling off at 30 Hz in an anechoic chamber but is capable of extending down to 18 Hz with room gain. I don't know, but I'm certain they're reaching down that low in my room. |

But anyway, yes, these Polk's do mighty fine on their own. And that's a good thing because any subs that are out there in my price range seem to be only good for movie use. Since I use my system for 90% music, using speakers that require a sub would suck. Haha |

I made a few changes to the setup today.
I switched out my amp temporarily with one of my brothers, his Marsh Audio A200s. I reinstalled my Pioneer Elite PD-D6J SACD player, patched into the Bifrost as the Marantz receiver has no more analog inputs. And lastly, I have finally decided to move on from my beloved NHT 2.9's, giving the Polk RTi12's back to my brother, and most likely purchasing these Monitor Audio BX6's. As usual, some pics to go along with the story. Last edited by jdandy; 05-02-2015 at 08:33 PM. Reason: No selling allowed outside of the Marketplace. |

Hmm...
Anyway, just added something else to the mix. Actually, swapped it out with the Marsh amp, and from what I can tell so far at whisper levels (it is well past 1am), it sounds considerably better than the Marsh amp. The little SS Audio Research D130. Mint inside and out. After a good couple of hours for it to warm up, I sat down for a listen. Well, you can see I'm still sitting here listening. |
