I finally got an amp for my LSi25s! I decided on a crown xli800, as it was high powered enough, and could safely push 4 ohms, and was about $150 cheaper than the Parasound I was looking at before. I know it is not audiophile, but at the same time, I don’t need audiophile, and from what I read on the internet, you can’t even hear the harmonic distortion until around 4-5% distortion, and this amp is about .5%. From the small amount of listening I have done so far, they sound absolutely astounding. Maybe in the future I can get something more audiophile, but I saved a good chunk of money, so I’m happy with it. Anyway, I wanted to say thanks for all your help, it really was super useful to me. I don’t know if I would’ve kept these speakers if it wasnt for you guys.

Thanks so much for all your help, Micah.

    Modified to do what? I’m very curious about this now...

    I don’t think I’m gonna start saving for it quite yet, but long term I will definitely get something better
