These new POLK LSiM's look tempting

I've always been a fan of the Polks. My RTi28's have served me well for the past 8 years.

I've always liked the Polk sound. Not enough to buy them, but they were always decent. These new models look like they are slowly evolving into Definitive Technology speakers. Can't say I'm surprised. I hope Polk retains its house sound in the new lines.

Trance,

If You have a pair of Confidence 5's your done. This baby is one hard speaker to beat. You have to really go way way way up in price.

Polk's will be nice I'm sure, but not in the same class as you 5's

I agree, the Confidence 5 is heaven on earth, I love them. Still working on proper cable and setup. The Mids and Highs are to die for, the Bass is very good but unlike the other drivers they are not forgiving, it has to be perfect to get them to sing properly but I have never heard a speaker sound this good in my home. I use to enjoy the LSI9 before switching over to Dynaudio, I wonder what these new Polk speakers have to offer, just curious really.

Also had the LSi9 bookies, and went to Dynaudio, but the Focus 140's. It's not often, but there are times when I miss the 9's, believe it or not. They conveyed a level of texture that the Dyns lack, so I'll also be waiting to try these out - mainly the bookers.
