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 though, look elsewhere.'

I know Polk Audio will be crushed to read your 'review'.
Your ignorance is exceed only by your arrogance.
But judging by sales figures, a lot of people just love that thick muddy sound, with bass WAY out of balance, of course.

'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 the insidious influence of high-end audio, i.e. everyhing is judged by price. If it cost more, It's better. In spite of the arbitrary manner in which MSRP is determined. But I have my $4000 ready.

'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.

There seems to be very few owner reviews of the lsim series. I hope that does not mean they do not live up to expecvtations, or are not selling. They will have to be outstanding to better the Lsi15.

I can't say if the 25's are better than the 15's, I have never heard the 25's. I think the tweeter and the midrange are the same. The woofer is larger and powered. The majority of the reviews I have read seem to favor the 15's over the 25's. The 15's are just perfect for my situation. The LSIM 705 is twice the price of the 15's.
