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

Sorry for the late response, my source and amps: Sony 9000ES DVD player for a source and a Unison Unico integrated. Nice match. I am also using Nordost Blue Heaven interconnects, MIT Terminator-2 speaker wire, and a Richard Gray power conditionner. (the conditionner I am not sure about it's benefits).BTW, I just saw an LSi-15 for sale here on A'GON at a real good price. It would make a nice purchase for the holidays at the price it is being offered.

I have the LSI-25 and the matching center and surrounds. They sound great but I easily melt crossovers with my Sunfire amp. For volume abuse I dont like them as much as my cheaper DCM's I bought years ago.

I've owned a pair of LSi15s for a year now. To sum it up: I have NO desire, or even the remotest thought, of looking for a speaker upgrade. I have a very modest rig (I may be the very definition of an audio enthusiast on a beer budget) that includes a Portal Audio Panache and Cambridge Audio Azur 640C cdp. Just like Jndean above, I purchased a pair of Monitor 10Bs in the 80's, and boy, did I enjoy those speakers for almost 20 years! However, the LSi15s are in an altogether different galaxy. I don't have any experience with mega buck speakers, so I can't truly say how the LSi15s compare with higher end, more expensive stuff. However, I deeply love and appreciate music, and the LSi's blow me away every single time I sit down for some critical listening. Properly set up, I've found their bass reproduction perfectly accurate, tuneful, and more than adequate. Yes, these are absolutely the REAL deal, and one of the best kept secrets in audio!! P.S. - I bought my pair locally for $750 -- the previous owner simply had mass market electronics, so he did not realize what he was giving up... The control the Panache exerts upon the LSi's is astounding, and the sound it produces through the Polks is simply exquisite.

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. 

That's a deal ! I have owned a pair of LSi15's since 2005. And, I like them more today than the first day that I hooked them up. On good program material, the music just flows out effortlessly. I recently upgraded my cd player, and the LSi15's clearly revealed the difference.Good listening.
