Do Polk RTi6's have front and rear ports?

I just read somewhere that the RTi6's have both front and rear ports. Is that true? I have pretty much decided on getting them. I was just curious.

Thanks, Ryan

Nope, just the front port. Here's what Polkaudio.com had to say about them...

I think you have made a good choice, enjoy them!

Actually, yes, the RTi6 (and RTi4) do have both front and rear ports. But the rear port has a baffle that flares out so that you can wall-mount them or place them close to the wall.

I tested them briefly and liked them a lot. The sound was very detailed and clear, and the cherry finish is very well done.

Incredible!!! One of you guys has to be wrong. Ryan, check the Polk web site and determine the facts for yourself.

I have found where the Polk site says beside enclosure type - "vented via rear mounted power port". It doesn't say anything about the front port(which is clearly visible). There is a diagram of a RTi12 that shows the internal bracing of the speaker and it also shows front and rear ports.

Maybe someone that has a set can inspect their set.

The RTi6 has a flared port in back, and a flared port in front. I looked. They're there.

I'm the one who is wrong. The rear port is blocked by a mounting bracket. Sorry for the misinformation.
