    I know it's crazy, but I've just gotta get 'em moved in effort to fund my new projects. I'm just really hoping someone jumps on my sale price so I get get on with my new build. I'm booked Thurs-Sun, but hit me up whenever you wanna kick back and listen to them. I'm always down for brews and tunes. Always.

    Weeeelll the RF 10" is gone, and the HK is sale-pending, leaving the LSi25s, JBLs, and PSW1000 up for grabs. I can understand the lack of interest in my JBLs, and frankly that's okay, since they're my only good speakers left in my arsenal that "fit" on my desk.

    Hopefully one of you clowns will buy my 25s. I might even consider building a shipping crate for them, so someone non-local can have them.

    Yeah they are nice in that they are already modded, but not sure if I like the 25's as much as the 15's since the 25's have a built in amp....

    Too damn many tempting pieces of candy for sale right now

    There's a guy in town who's got a pair of LSi15s, an LSiC, and an Energy sub for $700 on CL. I almost bought it just for kicks.

    I need to stay away from CL. Impulse buying too much lately. Now, I want your 25's as well as that CL ad! I cant spend my yearly limit for home audio just yet, waiting for the LSIM's....

    You are a stones throw away. Lets make a day of tunes, brews, and the golf ranges!

    I will say that they are preferable over 15s in instances where an external amp isn't available/affordable. Instead of having to drive that woofer with an external amp, the integrated amps take all of that strain, leaving 100Hz and up for your receiver, which is easily drivable without an external amplifier. It also helps the load on your receiver if RCAs are used for the 10s instead of the speaker ins. My Kenwood would go into protection at really high volumes before I started using RCAs. Now it never does unless I try to drive the upper section uncrossed, which is pointless anyway.

    I agree 100%, its just the obvious that normally where you place your L/R isnt the best for subs, so you still want an external one anyway. And some would argue that any LSi speaker really needs a dedicated amp anyway and it should just be assumed into the cost of buying them (some AVRs exceptions of course)

    I really hope these sell as I know you really want to get into some LSiM's :smile:

    I might get some 703s. It all depends on how these towers I'm constructing go. If they're that good, I'll do DIY everywhere.

    Someone, anyone, own a killer, easily-driven 2.1 setup for just $1000! The modded LSi25s matched up with the PSW1000 are a sick combo. Let me make you a lucky person!

    Tell ya what...for that combo with the sub, I'll throw in an additional two cases of beer, for a total of three. You aren't going to find a better deal than that! :biggrin:

    Well since nobody's biting, I'm putting the 25s back to $800 and will just wait patiently.
