any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen?

Muddy and undetailed from the mids and bass (noisy box?) IMO. I have had a few Polk speakers over the years and have always been disappointed. I can't even remember the models but they were one of their best at the time, they were very forgettable.

For that money look at Legacy 's Studio HDs!

Wanted to like polk audio because as a young kid I used to want a pair because when I heard them at my local sound track I thought that they sounded good. Someone gave me a pair about 8 months ago and as much as I wanted to like them, I just didn't. To me, what bass they had was flabby and the highs were really rolled off. Who knows though, with a good amp and set up properly, they might have been better.

For what its worth, many years ago I owned Lsi15's : mediocre at best. Replaced by Soliloquy 5.3i (RIP) and it was a vast improvement
