    LOL.

    Well I can tell right off that they are definitely more "complete" than the Monitor 70s.

    Still have to do some more listening but loving what I am hearing so far.

    Most likely, I will pick up a pair of LSiF/Xs eventually fr a full 7.2 system with the 15s.
    For now, 2 of them and the LSiC are in the HT downstairs with RT/FXs in the rear.
    No room for the second pair in the living room so they are now upstairs with my 2 channel system.
    Need to move my Monitors so I can track down a pair of LSiF/Xs and then sell off my RTs.

    Unfortunately, our townhouse was purchased for one person who never planned on re-marrying...and she hated my house so I sold it.

    More later...

    Thanks for taking the temptation away from me for picking up one of the sets lol....

    And also thanks for taking them far away from me as well so even if you sell they are a bit too far for a road trip lol

    Very Awesome!

    Brings back old memories when I bought my four LSi15s and the LSiC at Tweeter. I had a Matrix hatchback.

    Tweeter Dude doubted they would all fit. I put down all of the seats, and moved the passenger seat as far forward as possible and got them all in. And these speakers were NEW IN BOX! Sales Dude was amazed.

    I couldn't see out of any window except the drivers and the windsheild, but oh I was SO happy!

    Car was totaled on the highway a few years ago. These small crossovers are very versatile.

    Congrats!
    Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:

    As for amp, I am trying to find a GFA-5503 atm. Got an extra GFA-555 but would like the three fronts on the same amp if possible.

    I agree completely...unfortunately, my accountant (aka wife) not so much.

    She has been amazingly understanding so far. Especially considering there are currently 12 speakers in our living room...lol.

    An advertisement showing the Kardashian sisters bound and gagged has been pulled, The Sun reports.
    The Ford poster – produced for the Indian market – had a cartoon of Kourtney, Kim and Khloe tied up in the trunk of a car with a smiling Paris Hilton in the driving seat.
