well i've decided to retire my jbl northridge 3 way speakers. i just recently bought onkyo 701 receiver and onkyo sp800 dvd player. i thought i found the front speakers of my dreams axiom mti80 but then i found out there 4ohms which isn't compatible with my amp. so now i hae to other choices the kliplish rf-35 and the polk rti12. i want a speaker with clarity and brightness. not one were you have to double the volume to hear a converation on a movie. the speaker well be for ht use. please help which one should i get.

I bought a pair of polk Rti100s about 8 months ago. They sound great especially for $300 each. They are clear and bright. I assume the Rti12 would sound even better. Ive always thought polk speakers were good quality for the money. Go for the Rti12s.

What about the Axiom mti60? They are 8 ohms. I think I am ordering a pair next week. Have heard nothing but good things about them.

monitor gr60 are nice but the spec on the kliplish are better i think, not for sure. as far as the rti12 polk there almost 400 more canadian then the kliplish rh-35. rh-35 are 1200cdn and the polks are 1600cdn. but i know for a fact the kliplish speaker specs are better then the polks. do you think monitor gr60 are better then the other two. never thought i would be stressed out looking for speakers. i thought that would come when i guy had too pay for them.

I would prefer the GR60's for the long term. Monitor Audio speakers will have a smoother top end compared to Klipsh. If you like the sound of the Klipsh and Polk better than you should concentrate more on those.

That Amp should be rated to 6 Ohms and will play 4's with no problem. I'm running the 601 with MMGs which dip below 4 and I've never had a problem. Check out this:

They run the M80's on a 601 with no problems.

okay thanks for the input. i've narrowed it down to the mti60 and kliplish rf-35. so what do you guys think. i've never had a chance to listen axiom speakers but i heard there good. so if anybody listened to both tell me which sounds better for ht.
