    They will and I'll make sure you get a pair since the current round didn't work out John.

    Edogg = LSiM707(CA)
    Strider = LSiM703(MD)
    Dcmartinpc = LSiM703(MI)

    I believe they're going from Strider to Schwarcw in PA next...haven't worked out the next shift with the others yet. You're welcome to them after Carl if you two can work out a handoff.

    Dan, depending on when I actually get them. I could hand them off in State College, PA on a non football Saturday. I don't know exactly where you are located. State College is the middle of the state. Open for suggestions!

    I am going to schedule a demon here in Pittsburgh when the schedule becomes clear when I will have them.

    I'm about an hour out of Philly in Central NJ and would love to audition the 703's.

    Donald - Get with Mantis when they hit your area....or another demo person who gets them in-house. There will be a handful of Jersey/New York ppl getting these.

    Mark,

    Can you put me down for the 703's in the Midwest demo? Don't know who has them after Don.

    Thanks

    Yes , I'm just north of Philadelphila in Lower Bucks county.It's 25 minutes from Center City. I'm right on the border of New Jersey and Pa about 5 minutes from the Burlington Bristol Bridge.
    When you get them and finish your demo , let me know I can host a Pa , Nj demo. I have a Store and my house we can use. So if this all works out , Phil and anyone else who is close by is very welcome to get a LSIM demo.

    thats not far from my shop or my house so we should work this all out. There are a few other polkies in the area. We should all plan this for a nice demo.

    That would be great! Please PM me if anything pans out as I tend to miss some of these posts. I'm near the Quakerbridge Mall, about 20 to 30 minutes out of Bucks County via US 1 or 95.

    If you do end up getting them for Demo , you could bring them to my store for a killer demo. We can compare them to many speakers in their price point and use some really nice gear to drive them with.
    I'm thinking Bryston , Cambridge audio , Krell , Primare , Anthem and maybe even some Pioneer Elite SC to see how they go on a receiver.
    Looks like Amherst is close as well being in NJ so we could all demo them together. Have a small get together.

    Let me know what you guys wanna do.

    I'd be very interested in this as well...not sure I'd be able to make it though. It would depend on the timing. As some of you know, I'm originally from Eastern Pa. and still have family there so I drop down from Lobster country a few times a year.

    In any case, as Doro said, this is a 'great' idea--an ultimate showdown/demo. Plus, I've been wanting to drop in on Dan's shop for quite some time.

    Any chances of either 703's or 707's making it to the deep south. I am in Memphis, TN. I don't ever see many polkies from this area but had to throw it out there to see if anyone would be hosting something down this way or I could host something. I probably could travel 2-3 hrs in all directions if needed.

    I absolutely want to be there, especially for the 707s. Any idea as to when this might happen?

    The 707 won't happen for months unless I get the pair from CEDIA.

    So this will most likely just be 703's. Would love to hear the 707's but really I'm more curious about the bookshelf model. If they can outperform my old B&W's count me in for a pair!

    FWIW max, when I demoed them against my modded 25s, the performance was similar. Sure, the bass is a different story, but as far as the HF section goes, it was interesting. The bass out of the 703s is unreal though (in a good way). I'm looking to see some modded 9s vs the 703s too :smile:

    I don't think they sound anything like the older LSi. More accurate, better bass, more kick.

    Ok Midwest Fella's we have the 703's in Michigan currently.

    I plan to attend the meeting on the 17th of September with my wife. I believe SolidSqual is now coming as well.

    I am trying to figure out who wants to line up for these next. I can take them with me down to Indy and then shoot out toward Central IL, or toward the Columbus Ohio region (or SolidSqual might be able to take them straight if interested).

    Just trying to make sure we spread the wealth.

    I see earlier SCompRacer mentioned committing to hosting something, but not sure if thats still on or not.

    If they end up in Chicago somewhere, I am willing to possibly drive 1 1/2 to 2 hours up 65 (around the Rensselaer area) to do an pickup and then shoot them out toward Ohio that next week.

    If they are in Central IL, same deal, willing to drive around 2 hours to get them.


    Mike I figured we could meet about 1/2 way on 70 where 75 and 70 cross, provided you dont get them straight from Don.

    I'd like to do a side by side, LMK if they are coming to NC, and I'll be happy to tote my 9's (unmodded) along!
