    thanks DSkip!

    I really want to try the RTi A3 in the future but first enjoy this speakers and really get to know them. I think I can hook up 2 pairs of speakers to the receiver and have one pair for everyday music and a better pair (and sub) for self indulgence; If I can I will do it for sure.

    I auditioned some Klipsch reference and I confirmed what I felt before, I got tired of them soon. They were even cheaper than the Polks (import and shipping to me included) and were nice but not nice enough for me.

    The COOLEST girlfriend ever offered to pay for the speakers so I just have 150 bucks for the sub and/or set of speakers already saved.

    To me the LSi7s were (as others have said) 'laid back' in the high end, do very well with music - but, imo, need a kick in the pants with a good amp to get them to 'wake up' to pump out the sonic goodness. To me, they are a tad 'sleepy' at low volumes.
    Wow, I couldn't disagree more with that statement. I find the low volumes to be where the LSi7's and LSi9's really shine. I've never heard more detail and clarity out of a speaker when played at low volumes. I also have no problem with them being "awake" at high volumes; this includes when they were running off my Pioneer VSX-21TXH AVR's built-in amps.

    Don't get me wrong, the Rti's are very nice speakers. However, I don't find them better than the LSi7/9's in any way shape or form. Just my opinion.

    At any rate, I'm sure you will be incredibly happy with your purchase DavidRB!

    Hey man! Do you think that in the case I want to update my speakers (to Lsi?s) in the future I will do good with the HK 3490? I saw both Lsi 7 and niners are rated 4 ohms, that is I why I ask.

    I should be getting my stuff by August the 10th, so I will have to wait.


    by the way: What speaker wire should I get?
