    LOL, bad timing is still timing. Otherwise it might be darn near impossible to find some to demo. Lord knows there is only ONE dealer in the state carrying the old LSi's and they dont look to be carrying the new stuff in the future.....

    True!

    I'd love to demo them. How does this work?

    I'd like to hear the 703's, I'm sure we have plenty of NC/TN polkies who would love a demo!

    I'm also willing to host a mini G2G here in nc to do an a/b on the 9s vs 703s, who has em now?

    Make it happen guys. If they go back to the warehouse, they will stay there.

    Maybe move these north. I see some Washington state users kicking around. I have no idea when I'll be able to hear these so keep it going!

    i need them gone asap.

    So what I said before still goes. If/when these make it to within about 12 hours or so of Dallas, I'll come pick them up. I'd really prefer to keep it to about half that, but I can handle a 12-ish hour drive to get these. I have a full size wagon. My 2.3TLs fit in there, and these are nowhere near that big.

    Is ANYONE willing to snatch these up from SoCal and split some distance for Audiocr381ve??? No one in Nevada? Let's get some old school Polk shuttle going on here because they are not going to be shipped. I'll just have them sent back to Polk if we can't get something simple worked out here guys....c'mon, let's work it out and set it off :twisted:

    They may be close to being as tall but they are no where as big as 2.3TL's! They are heavy though.:eek:

    Mark, as a last resort if you can't get them moving east, Nooshin and I can get them back to Polk HQ. I think John will be headed my way sometime this month.

    I believe Megasat is going to step up and get some alone time so they should be heading towards the NV border soon. Who's next? AZ? That's a bit closer guys, lets keep them going east if at all possible.

    I think these are in NJ. IRCC Mantis handed them over to Pearsall001. Mark would know.

    I am pretty much the last stop in CA before AZ. Not sure how far Lancaster is from San Diego, but I could split the difference and maybe the next guy in AZ can do the same. I would be about 5 hrs from Phoenix, so 2.5 hrs for both parties?

    Well, I hope they get a chance to come through Texas, preferably Dallas or Houston. Unfortunately hosting a demo of any sort is not in the cards for me, so I would prefer they end up with someone who can do so. However, if they do make it to a demo around here, I will certainly try my best to be there!

    FYI, I replied to your other thread in the "speakers" section, but it looks like Face is closer.

    I'm not in a rush to get them, but if I ever did, I would host a get together/demo where we could compare the LSiM's to vintage Monitors, SDA's, Maggies, and my new Ushers. All I would need is someone to bring some first gen LSi's, and we'd be set!

    Or it could be all about the LSiM's. Either way, the point is that I could host a demo.

    Which model? There are reviews on the LSiM 703's v. stock LSi 9's v. modded LSi 9's. There are not any on the 707's v modded LSi's I believe.

    Cool, if they end up not going to NV I will try and make the next pickup and move it on to AZ.
