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. |
