    Polk's lineup is VERY confusing right now, and their website does not make it easy to understand the pecking order, so this is a good question. Here's the way I see it, top to bottom:

    - LSiM
    - RTiA
    - TSx, TSi, Monitor, Monitor II (all very similar)
    - R/T/M
    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

    I think pecking order should be grouped by a model line and age in the least to make any sense.
    For example:
    Vintage Monitors: 12, 11, 10, 7, 5, 4...
    SDA: 1.2TL's, 1.2, 2.3TL, 2.3, SRS, 3.1TL, 1C, CRS+, 2B, 1A, 2, CRS...
    S models: S10, S8, S6, S4
    LS line: LS90, LS70, LS50...
    Then there are newer RTA towers, 15TL, 11TL, 8TL followed by modern HT towers (LSI, RTi) etc...

    So clear as mud?

    Klipsch RB81, KG3.5, B&W DM602.5, Polk.
    Subwoofers: Klipsch RW10, Triad ProSub Bronze.

    I assumed the OP was referring to current speaker lines.

    Quoting the spam post only allows it to live after the moderators remove the original post. :wink:

    It's hard to beat the LSiM with any Polk speakers.

    No love for the SRS 2s? Personally I would rank them above the 3.1s and 1Cs.
