 Polk Audio has unveiled a new line of loudspeakers, the RTi2008 Series.
Three models at this time, the RTi2008 Series consists of three floorstanding models, the RTi A5, RTi A7 and RTi A9. Features shared by the three models include curved sides on the enclosures, ferro-fluid cooled silk polymer 1' dome tweeters with neodymium magnets, new Power Port port design, which claims to reduce port turbulence while also allowing for lower tuning frequencies, and your choice of cherry or black ash real wood veneers. The A5 has two 6.5" midbass drivers and stands 40.25" tall, the A7 has one 6.5" midrange coupled with two 7" woofers at 42.25" tall, and the A9 has two 6.5" midrange drivers aligned with the tweeter in an MTM configuration and also sports three 7" woofers in it's towering 48.625" enclosure.
Pricing for the RTi2008 Series is $949 for the A5, $1149 for the A7 and $1749 for the A9.

 There are many established names in the audio world, brands we all know and follow. While you may be familiar with their products, and maybe even some of the people behind the products, often we know little about the company behind it all.
To that end AV Enthusiast is going to start publishing the AV Enthusiast Spotlight. The purpose of the Spotlight will be to illuminate the history of the brands we know and love, and hopefully will offer some information that will further your appreciation of the people who bring us the objects that fulfill our obsession.
The inaugural AV Enthusiast Spotlight is near and dear to my heart, as I use their loudspeakers in my home theater and have been a big fan of their product through the years: Tannoy Loudspeakers.

 Venerated Scottish loudspeaker manufacturer Tannoy has released details on their new line of residential loudspeakers.
The Tannoy Revolution Signature line consists of two floorstanding models, two bookshelf models and two center channels. The Revolution Signature line utilizes Tannoy's dual concentric drivers, which provide point source, time coherent delivery from their titanium dome tweeters and paper cones. Audiophile crossovers further ensure fidelity as the drivers hand off to each other. For those interested in additional top end air, Tannoy's patented fifth ground post is provided. Curved sidewalls on the enclosures reduce standing waves, and are available clad in Espresso and Light Oak real wood veneers.
The series is available with either 4" or 6" drivers, and the top of the line DC6 T floorstanders will set you back about $2000.

You bought a big high definition television that has a beautiful
picture. After that, you spent a little money putting together a 5.1
audio system. Movies and games look and sound better than you ever thought they could in
your home. Are you finished? Nope. There is still one piece of the
puzzle missing before you can enjoy theater-beating sound in your home.
A subwoofer.
