These new POLK LSiM's look tempting
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 1... 
Anyone have experience with "burn-in generators"?
Anyone know exactly what is going on within the cable during a 500 hour 'break in'? And how is the length of 'break in' time determined? Just seeking to expand my knowledge.

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. 
Cables ... what's up with them?

Cables ... what's up with them?
Just get the cables with the highest MSRP. That way you can't go wrong. 
the quest for the best--within limits
Start listening to music and you will forget you even have a system. If you can hear your system, something is wrong. Maybe that's why there is so much talk about components. You people need to move up (up grade) to Polk and Harman Kardon!

If this site every gave a defenitive answer on ANYTHING, people would not have so many questions. What's the point in searching the archives, if there are 235 answers posted, they will all be different. The best thing to do is to search the forums... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
what does music and emotion have to do with so-called 'high end' audio? A person can experience emotion from listening to music on a boom box or table radio. Or even just humming a tune to yourself. 
What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like?
Since we have now defined what a high end system sounds like, maybe we can decide when or at what price point does the high end begin. For instance, for a system consisting of speakers, amps and a cd player, assuming an adeqate room and wire etc..... 
What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like?
'LIVE' has nothing to do with how good something sounds or all the other adjectives used here to describe stereo systems. LIVE is your local band at the friday night football game or Your kids trying to learn piano or clarinet.Can a system sound L... 
What's with all the Sony 5400ES units for sale?
It just failed to catch on as a 'Cult' classic, so it's time to move on to the next 'Giant Killer'. In my opinion it just looked tooooo SONY. 
Emotiva XPA-2 vs Yamaha M-80 vs Yamaha MX-1000
I have been driving my Lsi15's for 8 years with a harman kardon hk3480/3490 receiver. Will receive my third HK tomorrow. Its a good match, esp in a small to medium sized room. 
Diana Krall Survey
The music business, and the entertainment business in general is more visual and beauty oriented than it was years ago. Her album art suggests that she trades on her looks. I am sure that is part of the reason for her success. She is not alone in ... 
Diana Krall Survey
I think she is popular because her recordings seem to sound pleasing on 'high end' stereo systems. Sort of like the 'jazz at the pawn shop' thingy. Good sound, unexceptional music. 
What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like?
If it's true hi-fi, it 'should' sound like the original source. However no stereo system does this, esp if you are sitting in front of it. My system which is very much lo/mid-fi CAN sound like a live artist is performing if I am listening to it wh...
