    Lsi9 were the best, but the RT7's are my favorite.

    Edit, I thought it said POLK bookshelf.

    Overall best shelf speaker I have owned was the Sonus Faber Concerto.

    I dont like to alot of bookshelves....

    But probably the best performer I have heard so far was that AAD (?) monitors at Polk fest. Far from my favorite speakers but definitely a capable bookshelf.

    LSi series has always been nice but the midrange and midbass is so bloated on those speakers - just cant get into them.

    Polk I like the Lsi7's and RT55's

    Overall the best is a toss up with the Dynaudio Contour 1.3se and the B&W N805's for different reasons.

    I'd have to go with the LSI-7s as well. But those are a pretty recent purchase and I'm still exploring them. So far I 'like' what I hear. And I think I'm going to like the newer LSI-M bookshelf model even more?
