Be jealous! I am sitting hear enjoying the LSiM 703!!! Gotta say, first impressions, SMOOTH!!! The bass is also VERY surprising. Tight and very present for a "Bookshelf". Loving them! I will be doing some more critical listening over the next couple weeks with a variety of music, but thought I would share in my joy! :cool:

I have been getting some serious ear time on the LSiM 703s, and they just keep growing on me. Whoever can make it to the demo at my place really owes it to themselves to show up if only to hear these!!! I have some stands on the way that will make a huge difference too! Heck, right now they are on top of my CRS+ which are on their stock stands! HARDLY the appropriate ear level or anything close to right for that matter.
Maybe it I the percocet talking , but I am loving these speakers!!!!

I picked up the 28" Skylan Dual post stands that Gaara had for sale here. I dd some research on them and they looked like a really nice stand, and I can fill them. Just trying to decide between lead shot or sand......

Nice stand! I think I borrowed the SKY-4P24 (or something very similar) from Russ when I had the 703s. They weren't even filled and they were heavy as hell! They were the perfect height for me since I lounge back on my couch and you sink in the cushion :biggrin:
I've never filled a stand before, despite having two different sets of fillable stands. At first thought, I would figure sand since it will never have a chance at rattling, plus if you ever decide you want to move your stands, lead shot in two of those large tubes is gonna give you a hernia, haha.
Would it be impractical to combine the shot and sand to give you the ultimate combination of weight and best use of space?- Computer Rig -

There's no need to combine shot and sand since they are effectively doing the same thing. However, if you have ringing, it would be a smart thought to use sand as a buffer and to help dissipate heat....but that's really stretching the minutae of this tweak.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

The MMGs are really nice, but I had to take them out because I need to run my SRS 2s exclusively right now to burn in the Sonicaps before the Demo!!
I am also still waiting on the Outlaw ICBM so I can properly integrate the subs with them.

One other tidbit for anyone on the fence!!! I sent off my GFP-750 today to be upgraded! Lots of caps and resistors changed out. Power supply upgrades... Lots of Nichicon Muse KZ!!! Good Stuff!
I also swapped out the LMS Ultra 5400 today and put in one of my Custom TC Sounds 18" Drivers (Basically a Pro 5100 top assembly with a ferrite motor and dual 1 ohm voice coils). Man this thing is QUICK in a sealed enclosure and has some serious slam in the mid and upper bass regions. That was one of my major complaints about the LMS Ultra 5400, sick amounts of LOW bass, but it left a lot to be desired above about 50 Hz... The custom driver is 1 or 2 dB shy under 20 Hz of the 5400, but I can live with that!!!
This custom driver performs a LOT like the Pro 5100, but in a different voice coil config and no Neo. The best part is that I got 2 of them for the cost of 1 5100!!!
Should be a fun Demo!!!Living Room: Adcom GFP-750 (Upgraded), Squeezebox Touch, Oppo BDP-83, Pioneer DV-79AVi, Parasound HCA-3500 (Upgraded), SDA SRS 2 P/B (Gimpod, Sonicaps, & Mills)
