Polk Audio RT15 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers — Versatile & Compact
$145.00
Two port systems doing different jobs: the flared rear Power Port takes the low end down without the turbulence of a straight tube, while a pair of small ARC ports either side of the tweeter damp cabinet resonance in the midrange. 5.25-inch composite woofer, 0.75-inch silk dome, 89 dB, 8 ohms, 20 to 100 watts. Video-shielded, with a keyhole slot for wall mounting. Good condition.

A capable compact bookshelf from Polk Audio, the RT15 delivers clean, well-balanced sound at a size and price that makes it equally at home in a dedicated stereo setup or as part of a home theater system.
The RT15 is a 2-way design built around Polk’s Dynamic Balance driver technology — a laser-imaging process used to select driver materials that minimize resonance for a smooth frequency response and low distortion. The 5.25″ composite woofer handles midrange and bass with authority for its size, while the 0.75″ silk dome tweeter keeps the high end smooth and fatigue-free over long listening sessions.
Polk’s Power Port bass venting on the rear panel shapes the outgoing airflow with a flared, funnel-like geometry that reduces port turbulence and delivers cleaner, more extended bass than a conventional straight-tube port. Complementing this, the RT15 also features Polk’s Acoustic Resonance Control (ARC) system — two small tuned ports flanking the tweeter on the front baffle — which suppress internal cabinet resonance for a more natural, open midrange. The two technologies work in tandem: Power Port handles low-end extension, ARC keeps voices and instruments clear and uncoloured.
Video shielding allows placement near a display without interference, and a keyhole slot on the rear Power Port plate enables wall mounting without additional hardware — useful for surround channel duty. The gold-plated 5-way binding posts accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade lugs, and single or dual banana plugs.
