Polk LSi 15's


Hi Audio Fans, still playing with speakers in my system. I heard a friends Polk LSi15's and was quite impressed in his system. As a blues music fan-how would these speakers rate? Current amp is Rotel 1070 and Cary 308 cd.

Polk Audio LSi speakers are starting to grab alot of attention by gon'ers for some reason. I know its not by people listening to them at high end dealers cuz hi-end dealers don't ususally sell these speakers. There are alot of politics behind why these speakers haven't grabbed better dealers and distribution and you can search on other threads for a more detailed perspective.

For a couple years now I've searched hard to find another speaker just so I could rid myself of having the "Polk" badge off my speaker, but I simply cannot find a better speaker anywhere near its price range. And it really doesn't matter what kinda music you listen to, its a jack of all trades.
One thing Beernut, if you liked what you heard in your friends system you'll probably like it as much of better (if your using equal or better electronics) in your own system. As far as the speaker being laid back, yes it is. Although, it surrenders no loss of detail in comparison to any of its competition. It simply is the opposite of bright (see B&W speakers) and has more of a musical sound to it.
