hello, i am going to get a set of lsi15 , can it handle 600watt carver pm 1.5 4ohm, i just got my carver pm 1.5 rebuilt(by CAR) with poly capacitors, back to factory specs, i currently have rti12's pm 1.5 450watts 8ohm rocks them. now i just sold my rti12 for lsi15 , was i right to get lsi15, this is for ht and music, my center is boston acoustics 325c,i had a lsic , did not think it did the jobs for vocal as the ba 325c does.i hear nothing good but the best of lsi15 . so it can handle that power , how much do you guys run. i want more clarity , the rti12's slap you , they sound great. i want more the ht and clearer sound in music.the carver rebuilt with poly sounds great,new quiet fan :).

    Love my 15's being powered by a Carver tfm-55. I'm pretty sure they can handle whatever power you can throw at them.

    Yes, but not to the point of "thumping." Even with the db driver upgrade and XO mod, the 15's are not a slammin speaker.

    but they will sound clear and crisp, the amp i have is damn clear, with polypropylene capacitors and all new internals it should rock the lsi15's , hopefully they sound good for home theater

    Yes, they will sound clear and crisp.

    Yes, they will sound good for HT (actually they'll be great:wink:)

    Enjoy!
