any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen?

Rok, every now and then you accidentally say something that's most profound. "I think 'audiophiles' listen to test tones or pink/white noise."

I don't know what they listen to, but this is the worst "music forum" I've ever seen. No longer do I bother to attempt a "thread", because you're the only person here who can even engage in a conversation about any music worth listening to. I could get more conversation from randomly talking to whoever I met walking down the street. Maybe I should start a conversation about test tones or pink and white noise.

During the time when I just about lived in "high end emporiums", we were jammin with all ARC electronics and Thiel speakers, when a customer came in wanting to audition a Rotel amp. Before the Rotel amp was inserted in the mix, all the instruments in the music occupied a place in space. You could point to the trumpet or sax, and all of the odd percussion instruments just popped out of the air, while the bass was solid as a rock emanating from it's place in space.

Once this Rotel amp was inserted, the music became one big "gumbo soup" again. My point is, even with "gozillion" dollar speakers, if you don't have a complete line up of "gozillion" dollar electronics, you ain't got squat.

Vintage Polk..Good! New Polk ...who cares..they don't; why should you??

Big Q to those have tried the Lsi9, how do they perform in low volume?

I'm on the anti Polk and Bose fance but heck I might give them a try just for heck of it. Imo, if theyare for easy listening, can they pass the critical listen? Anyways, I don't keep my other high end bookshelf very long anyways.

The LSi9 needs to be played at a healthy volume to sound its best.
