any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen?

I'm also surprised by the Polk hatefest on this thread--on previous threads their avid fans have leaped to their defense. Personally, I think Polk's finest work was in the 80s--the SDA, RTA and even the low-cost Monitor series were really good in their own way. I've owned the more modern LSi-7/Lsi-9, which are well-balanced, high-value monitors, but would tend to agree with some of the above criticisms of the larger Lsi-15.

I have the Lsi15s. Have Loved them for 8 years now. May go with the LsiM 707 if / when I am convinced they are a 'real' upgrade. The biggest problem with POLK is the name POLK and the reasonabl;e price. Real people can afford them and can purchase them at real stores.. Now, if only a few fat cats could afford them, and you had to kiss some snobbish salesman's butt to buy them, they would be the darlings of all the anti-music, Audiogearphiles and their guru reviewers.

Hardly. The Polks are mid-fi ar best. Go with the concensus...

I owned the LSi15s for a period and thought they were pretty good for the price. They were replaced by a pair of Proac Response 1.5s which were only slightly better IMO.
The LSi7 is one of my favorite small monitors at their current ebay refurb price.

A close friend and fellow audio club member owns the LSI25's . There's few in our group that don't feel there well worth there retail price . Synergy is such a big thing you'll really have to try them in your system to know if there right for you .
