These new POLK LSiM's look tempting

I was thinking the same thing but in a different way,"This post brought to you by Frank Zappa"!!!!

These new Polk's even do your laundry and cut your gras's!

When I heard them at Capital Audio Fest in May they were brand new and sounded pretty bad on the first day. By the end of that day (listening after hours) they had opened up and sounded much better. By the end of the last day they sounded fantastic. But the Audio Research Ref 5 and Ref 110 did not hurt at all!

'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.

Richidoo..One of the experiences on the 707's was Home Theater Magazine's review from the November 2010 issue..quote, " I listened to the 707's with an all tube set up from AR, and what I heard was staggering, there was tremendous clarity, very strong imaging on and off axis, and very high impact but tuneful bass transient's. I almost
never hear sound this spectacular! Top to bottom, the LSiM series is a heckuva lot of speaker technology for the money." Also, a member on the Club Polk site who is a dealer, displayed the 707's at a recent show and stated they were equal and in some area's and sounded better than his Wilson Sasha's he has at home. For the $27K pair of Sasha's to meet its match from a pair of speakers costing $4K is amazing! In 1976 one out of four pair speaker's sold worldwide were Advents. No one has beaten that record.
Polk just may be the one to break that record since the LSiM's release five week's ago. I need to correct myself. Polk was bought out by Directed Electronics, not Defined Electronics as I stated in this thread. I have been hoping for 35 years for any speaker company to come along
and make a world class speaker at a budget price. The Polk wholesale Manager in my area, Andrew Ward, stated to me the 707's will go up against any speaker costing up to $40K a pair. It looks like Polk not only hit a home run with the LSiM's, but hit a grand slam.
