Polk LSi 15's

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.

The Kid, I'm not very well versed on JMLabs speakers. What model would be a fit in your opinion?
Beernut

One thing Beernut, if you liked what you heard in your friends system you'll probably like it as much of better (if your using equal or better electronics) in your own system. As far as the speaker being laid back, yes it is. Although, it surrenders no loss of detail in comparison to any of its competition. It simply is the opposite of bright (see B&W speakers) and has more of a musical sound to it.
