Hi, ive been trying to find a LSIC center channel for the longest time with no luck. I was hoping that some one could tell me about another center channel from polk that would blend in with my lsi9's Thanks!

    Welcome to CP!

    A 3rd LSi-9 is the best match, and, in my experience, it's a better center than the LSiC.

    Good luck with the search!
    2-Channel: PC > Schiit Eitr > Audio Research DAC-8 > Audio Research LS-26 > Pass Labs X-250.5 > Magnepan 3.7's

    Living Room: PC > Marantz AV-7703 > Emotiva XPA-5 > Sonus Faber Liuto Towers, Sonus Faber Liuto Center, Sonus Faber Liuto Bookshelves > Dual SVS PC12-Pluses

    Office: Phone/Tablet > AudioEngine B1 > McIntosh D100 > Bryston 4B-ST > Polk Audio LSiM-703's

    Welcome to CP Chris! The LSiC will be the best match for your system. I recommend one of two things; keep an eye on eBay, they do pop up from time to time. Otherwise, stick around the forum for awhile, we do have a 100 post requirement to participate in our 'for sale' section, and they come up. Feel free to also post a WTB ad as well. Good luck, its a good center.

    Falcon also offers great advice! Another 9 will work, or you can go the route I've been thinking about, and running dual 7's.

    They do. It's called the LSiM-706c. :cool:

    It's the best center they've ever made.

    Hi chriscorv. I was at soundworld in Appleton,WI about 2 weeks ago. They had a pair of LSI 9's and an LSI center channel in their used department. I don't know what color you need, I think they were the black. You could check their website and contact them. Make sure it is the Appleton one as there is also one in Green Bay but they are not connected to each other. Tom

    Thanks for the hints here- I have the same problem. Planning to get the LSI15s and can't find a center channel speaker.

    I spoke to Jessica in Polk's eBay store and she was also suggesting the LSIm704C. Not cheap, however.
