    Forgive the delay, first I had to figure out why my Polk ebay search was missing these...

    If these were within driving distance for me, I'd be telling you how bad they sucked and how your 150's mop up the floor with them in this screen while I hit BIN in a second. But since they're not...

    We heard Wallstreet's 90's at Russ' TX PF2, and they're great speakers. Immediately went on my watch list (or so I thought). Very authoritative and detailed all at once.
    More later,

    So how would you rate these against the 150s...or are they just a totally different sound altogether???

    Yeah, that sorta was the question wasn't...

    Let me just say that I've heard the 150's, and they did not make my buy list. Could have been underpowered or other reason, but they did not impress me.

    The 90's wowed me...

    Underpowered, maybe I would give my RTi150's over my RT800i which are now my new back surrounds. I think they are well balanced with great lows, mids, & highs.

    Hey, they'll be VERY shiney!

    On another note.....

    I would DEFINETELY own the LS90...

    I think Polk should make more speakers with a bunch of Midbasses and forget the subs.

    OK, let's cut the Armor All crap... and no Sid you did not bring it up. PLease let it drop, spidey

    But Sid, how valuable do you think your input really is to PM since you've never heard the 90's?
