Skyfi2 vs Polk XRt12 which one? (1 Viewer)

[Gerard Martin]

Looking for the best matchup of a Denon 3805 with Klipsch RF3 speakers.Sound quality is most important followed by features. Like the idea of digital out on the Polk and TV screen viewing however sound quality is number 1 priority. If it were you which way would you go. Early reply sincerely appreciated. Thanks

I own both the Polk XRT12 and SkyFi 2.

Right off the bat your best bet is the Polk
because of the digital output and supposed
enhanced sound processors. It also integrates
nicely with any home stereo system.

The only thing I don't like is the display,
which dates back to the original SKYFI 1 where
only a certain amount of song title/artist
characters are displayed before being cut off.

Youy could go with the SkyFi 2 which not
only gives you newly expanded artist/title display
but a stock and sports ticker to boot. You can have
these modified for digital output through
MYRADIOSTORE.COM at a nominal cost.

Still, when you get right down to your sonic
and aesthetic needs, the XRT12 seems like the
logical choice.

Good Luck!
