    I would say get the LSIC and yes if you got them for 120$ and they are in fact LSI7's you got one heck of a deal.

    WELCOME TO CLUB POLK!!

    You can barely buy a set of TSI-100s for that price and those are entry level..while LSIs are flagship quality bookshelves from Polk.

    IMHO, I would put the LSi's up front with an LSiC and call it a day. One word of advice though, keep in mind that those LSi's are 4 ohm speakers and it is very important that they have lots of power to keep from damaging your speakers or AVR, or both. If your AVR has pre outs, I would look into getting an external amp to power them. Adcom, Rotel, Sunfire and Emotiva all make the short list. In the meantime, be careful with the volume knob so you don't kill those 7's, that you got one heck of a deal on. Gotta protect your investment, and welcome to Club Polk.
