    I took the liberty to combine these into a single PDF-If you scan the cover I'll add that in too.

    Thanks Mike. I'll get a scan of a stock cover since mine is signed. I don't want you guys stealing my coolness. I was going to PDF it like that but figured I'd let them pick and choose what they wanted to download.

    I'll add yours to the schematics thread so it's easy to find.

    EDIT: Added a new LSiM schematics post in the Vintage Speakers area. Yes, I'm aware of the LSiM not being vintage but the Speakers section is where I post all the demos and it's crowded as it is. :)

    Let's get it on. Who's gonna be the first to sign up for a demo? :D

    I'm game... I would love to do a full review on them and see how they compare to both the old LSi's and the SDA's. I am also willing and able to have a get-together at my place for the event.:)

    I know I dont need that many midbasses to do midrange...

    I just like how the bass, midbass, and mids go together in a 2 way design vs. a three way.

    Not to mention a 4 way is kind of pushing it for me. I can handle a 3-way, particularly if the midrange is different than the midbass.

    Mark, add me to the LSiM demo list please - What are you planning? Bookshelves? Towers?
    Sign me up for the Blackstone demo too, esp. if it involves the TL3 series. :)
    Thanks!!

    I'm getting more excited about these new line-ups the more I read.

    Regarding the LSiM, has Polk considered offering a 30 day in home trial, or an introductory price for pre-orders?

    I wouldn't bet on a 30 day trial but depending on interest, there could be a price break on pre-order. That depends on you folks more than it does Polk. If you get rabid about it all, the effort could pay off. Just an observation.

    Hey guys, EMAIL me in regards to the demo or pre-order ok? Let's try to keep everything on track and subject for this thread.

    The national demo would be for the LSiM bookshelf to keep shipping costs and liability down. So have some stands ready. If you're local, you may get lucky and get something bigger as far as handshake demos go.

    Punkroc brought up a good point privately....let me know what gear, front to back end, you're using because if it isn't up to par, there's no point in you doing a demo. Sorry but it's reality.

    You mean my Aiwa bookshelf all-in-one receiver/dual cassette won't play the towers?:D

    Does it have "Super Woofers" and "Triple Bass" options?

    As long as it is 4 ohm stable...I don't see why not. :D

    Is a little 50wpc NAD integrated up to par? :(

    Lol one day. In the meantime, can't wait to hear the reviews you guys compile. My next speaks were going to be a set of B&W 684's, but brand loyalty might preside if the new LSi's are really as good as I expect them to be.

    Absolutely! One of the sweetest rigs for a small room I've ever heard was a C320BEE driving a pair of LSi9s. That integrated should have no problems driving the small LSiMs.

    Stupid iphone pics but they're the latest. There's also closer pics of the AR equipment.

    Those look great. I'm glad Polk agreed with me and got rid of the grille mounting holes and all the screws on the front baffle; really took away from an otherwise very nice original LSi.
