I have a pair of these I bought a few years back, I use 2 Emotiva XPA-1s to drive them. For music, a subwoofer isn't required, it kicks pretty hard. With a sub, like the SVS PB-13, hard to top them...

I have monitor 70s and have no idea how they compare, but that is one incredible looking speaker. 5 woofers, yikes! Would never be able to afford them though.

It is an oft overlooked perk of the Polk RTi's! The real wood veneer and finish (especially the Cherry) is very appealing. No vinyl/mdf crappity crap.
This is like a piece of nice furniture.

Most people in this thread would rather spend $400 on a receiver let alone understand the advantage of separates. For most homes, a receiver makes sense due to cost and space.

My first ever home theater system had R50's in the front. Once you spend anywhere in the next tier on up, you'll realize that the R50's sound muffled in comparison.

With that budget, you can look at the P series Yammys (P5000) or for less money, the EP series (EP2000 or EP4000) from Behringer.
