Seeking advice on how to improve my system
with your components, there is nothing to do! Enjoy it. Maybe moving the speakers will change the sound, which should satify the urge to do something. 
These new POLK LSiM's look tempting
'Polk makes only 15 pairs a month of the 707's'I notice they are hard to find in stock. Will the production rate increase in the future? Thanks for all the info. I hope they are a great success. Can't wait for the reviews to come in. 
How best to upgrade
Reposition your speakers, listen for a few weeks, then reposition them again, listen again and so on and on....... until you get it like you want it. 
These new POLK LSiM's look tempting
'It looks like Polk not only hit a home run with the LSiM's, but hit a grand slam.'Not the first grand slam for Polk. They just don't get the credit on this forum. I fear, the price doubled for the LSi15 replacement, the LSiM 705, in part due to t... 
Speaker cable vibration?
I am surprised no one has claimed to be able to hear the little strings vibrating. The ones in string theory. Or perhaps hear stars going supernova. One member recently suggested I see a psychiatrist. I did, and she said after the lobotomy is done...

These new POLK LSiM's look tempting
'I heard the new Polks at both LSAF and RMAF ... both times they were very thick and muddy sounding, bass was WAY out of balance with the rest of the spectrum. I guess if you like that kind of the sound you'll like the Polks. If you like balance t... 
Speaker cable vibration?
I didn't say a word. 
Which components are "stupid good"?
I will go out of a limb and say all would agree that the best listening position for 2 channel stereo is between the speakers, and an equal distance from each speaker. Other than that, (assuming you agree with that), what other questions, issues o... 
I didn’t know that Did you guys know that?
I think Stereo Review folded, but the truths it proclaimed are still true. The reviewers for that mag are still held in low regard by the zealots on this forum. I often wonder why. 
I didn’t know that Did you guys know that?
do you live near highway 61? it runs thru my home town. 
About synergy?
'I'm just tired of reading garbage posted by inexperienced fools'Well don't leave on my account. Seriously. I'll go instead. After all, I am the interloper. It's a great site for some people, just not for me. But I am not an inexperienced fool. I ...
