We all know the LSi line of speakers are known to be very ?musical?, which is why I finally have a set of LSi9?s on the way ? this Thursday!

So I got to wondering?with all of the talk about this speaker line being very musical, is there a particular type of music common to most people who have or have had these speakers? It would be my guess that they're better with a music type such as classical, which usually covers more of the frequency range than say, Rock. But maybe I?m wrong.

    When I owned the LSi's , I had a pretty wide range of music I listened to. Whats nice about the LSi's is they are forgiving to different recordings , more so then other higher end speakers. They don't do any one Genre great but they do them all well.

    I personally feel in love with the LSI's back in the day due to Celtic music.

    The phrase "Yoko Ono" should not ever be used when discussing anything having to do with "music."
