Polk Audio LSi 15 - are these the REAL DEAL ???

I just came back from a friend's listening room where he has a nice set-up. Some megabuck amplifiers and digital front end, and for speakers, I had not noticed the manufacturer, but I assumed they were the ''esoteric, expensive kind''. After 20 minutes, he left the room to answer the phone, I stood up to check what the speakers were.What's this? Holy smokes ! POLK AUDIO LS i15 !!! I was floored by the sound, but more by the fact that a Polk speaker could find it's way into such ''high end'' company.

They sure sounded good, no make that excellent, but is it because of the excellent surrounding components or are they simply a well-kept secret ?

I am very much interested in hearing if others have also found these speakers to be good sounding for the money and if they really belong in a high-end system, or is the combination I heard just a fluke?

Any input will help as I'm looking for speakers right now, thanks all !

I know I’m resurrecting the oldest thread ever, but I feel like I have to. I owned a pair of LSi7 bookshelves about a decade ago that I absolutely LOVED, and I ended up selling them to make room for new gear and regretted it every day since.


So im on OfferUp and see a pair of their big brothers, the LSi15 for $200 and just had to have em. They sound exactly the way I remember the LSi7 did, huge soundstage, great mids/highs, I’m thrilled I picked these up at the price I did. Guy selling them had no idea what he was sitting on.
