Well after months of waiting my new speakers got here today and im starting to break them in. All I can say at this point is Damn. Compared to my polks they are not as pretty but they sure do sound much better than my lsi's vita tweeter.

    how is it compare to Lsi7/9? on paper, it goes very low. hopefully they don't rate their speakers like Deftech. I've been using the ls9s as computer speakers for a month now and not really happy with the tweeters. Have been search for a set around $1000 or less

    Without the +/-dB point, the freq response specification stated is fairly worthless.

    I was just going to type that. They do look interesting w the dual passives. I much, much prefer a passive to a port. Although Polk port technology is impressive. And even at retail they don't really break the bank. Only downside is there is fierce competition for bookies at that price point. Almost too many choices to ever be able to compare them all to see which one is best.
