any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen?


They are closing these out a such a good price I am tempted to buy them just to see how they stand up.
Flabby bass? Wide soundstage? Open natural sound? Perhaps someone can enlighten me? Comparisons?

Why all the anti-Polk hysteria? Maybe some of the more rational and knowledgeable members could weigh in on this phenomena. The answer has to include something UNIQUE to Polk. No other brands elicits such a visceral reaction.
Hell, even YORK gets more respect.

Can anyone explain this?

Just curious.

BTW, Stereo Review, Julian, Leonard and Pete can also get them going.

I am rational and reasonably knowledgable.

There you go again, speaking in absolutes. If you do your homework you will see plenty of other speakers that get dissed.

Bose
Paradigm
Klipsch

Just to name a few.

Shakey:

I have noticed that you never actually answer questions, or add anything to the discussion. Maybe you should try that 'speaking in absolutes', this site could use a lot more of it.

It is apparent that you did not, or will not try to, understand the premise of my statements concerning Polk speakers, so we will let it go at that.

You are long on tic for tac, but very short on answers, or meaningful input. Conversations under these conditions get tedious very quickly.

Shoe, my impression of the LSi15s was that they had a nice tonal balance, good dynamics, although I don't play music loud very often, plenty of detail without getting harsh. There biggest failing was a flat soundstage, no depth of field. I like three dimensionality, which they lacked.
