These new POLK LSiM's look tempting


I read on Polk forum the top line towers will run $4,000/pr. Due out in early 2011. I'm looking forward to the reviews. Very attractive looking.

Rok2id...The 707's are in stock at their Vista, Calif. warehouse. But just the light cherry finish. Sold out of the dark Mahogany which is in great demand which will be back in stock by mid-December. Polk has warehouse's in Maryland and Calif. I doubt they will increase production since they are made from scratch with loving care. A lot of time to make each pair. Polk sell's direct so if you want the 707's you can reserve buy now and get on top of the list for the December supply. I have spoke to several Audiophile's who have listened to the 707's at show's in California, Denver and Montreal. They are stunned what you get for $ 4K. A remarkable achievement to say the least.
I came on here looking for more information on Polk Lsim 707s and I am a little disappointed that very little has been said about them on here. I own the Polk Rti A9s right now. I would just like to upgrade. I have listened to the Lsim 705s and thought they were very clear in the high end and magical sounding (if that is the right word) but seemed bright and I figured they would be fatiguing after a while. The Rti A9s I have are not fatiguing in the least. (I am using Hafler amps to bi-amp the speakers).
The Question is. What do people think of the Lsim 707s? And is there a better bang for the buck in that price range? Or ANY opinions of the Lsim Polks.
Thanks
There seems to be very few owner reviews of the lsim series. I hope that does not mean they do not live up to expecvtations, or are not selling. They will have to be outstanding to better the Lsi15.
So the Lsi15 are better than the Lsi25? Do you know if the tweeters and midrange are the same components on both models?
They sure are a lot cheaper than the Lsim series.
I can't say if the 25's are better than the 15's, I have never heard the 25's. I think the tweeter and the midrange are the same. The woofer is larger and powered. The majority of the reviews I have read seem to favor the 15's over the 25's. The 15's are just perfect for my situation. The LSIM 705 is twice the price of the 15's.
