Polk LSi 15's

Polk Audio LSi speakers are starting to grab alot of attention by gon'ers for some reason. I know its not by people listening to them at high end dealers cuz hi-end dealers don't ususally sell these speakers. There are alot of politics behind why these speakers haven't grabbed better dealers and distribution and you can search on other threads for a more detailed perspective.

For a couple years now I've searched hard to find another speaker just so I could rid myself of having the "Polk" badge off my speaker, but I simply cannot find a better speaker anywhere near its price range. And it really doesn't matter what kinda music you listen to, its a jack of all trades.

I found the LSi15 to be somewhat bass-lacking. Personally I liked the LSi25 better with the built in active sub. My earlier adventure into Polk brought me a pair of RT-20p that I truly loved but kept having amp problems (Built-in 2-8" powered subs/speaker). Moved on to B&W Nautilus 804. Many people like the laid-back sound of the LSi15.

Interesting. Laid back bothers me a bit as I listen to lots of blues and prefer a more aggressive midrange. The Quad 22L's I just sold actually did a great job but lacked a real bottom end > MY current Audes Blues have better bass but not as sweet a midrange. Guess that's why I'm still searching.

Dan,

It sounds like you might be a good candidate for JM lab speakers. See if you can audition some.
