    More info on the speakers would be nice,

    How about this, I liked them better than a $6.5k pair from a competitor.

    So we have a price point. Good to know. I personally found the current LSIM’s to sound better than certain speakers up to $25K. You know, the ones with bone tingling, ear aching tweets, rather stab yourself than listen a second longer.

    And may I suggest, the list be coordinated geographically to reduce shipping charges..

    Even so, like if someone in Raleigh received them, I could meet them half way and so forth.

    You didn't read my OP twice.

    Nor, clearly, did I :/

    (please)

    Experience? Let's see -- I've been fiddlin' with hifi long enough to have outgrown an obsession with numeric specifications and tone and loudness controls. How's that?

    Location: Northern New England. We can't see Canada from the back porch, but it's close.

    If anyone in AZ goes in on this let me know so I can come take a listen. Don't have the room to test them myself... Or much time I'd be able to spend with them.

    Awesome none the less Jesse!

    Dan, we can also use this as a reason to get the local guys together for a listening session since it has been a while.

    I'm in Puyallup, @Geoff4rfc is in Tacoma, @WagnerRC is in Fox Island. Probably others as well, even more up north. Love to get my ears on the new offerings but I don't have anything that will power a 4ohm speaker properly. Maybe someone local does...

    Ok, so far it looks like 27 Polkies are interested, so this will definitely happen.

    I'd make a road trip that direction for a NW Polk meet. My BHK amp is too heavy to travel but I could bring the BHK Signature Pre, DirectStream DAC and a modded Parasound HCA-1500A. The 1500 has no problems w/4 ohm. @ken brydson you game to host? My daughter lives near Rogers HS.
