    Russ called, he's cleaning out the Plano store- 4 pair LSi7's in black

    EDIT:
    Spoke too soon, their trying to limit sales to one/customer... Will update when I have more info.

    EDIT:

    Only one per customer... Sean (ATCVENOM) has first dibs on Russ's pair then Doc. I'll pick up a second pair for $200 shipped CONUS for trinhl who PM's me first last week, Doc, you'd be #2 on that list.

    EDIT: Russ went back and got a second pair so Doc is covered. Now my list is trinhl first then Ghost, then Faster100 at $215 shipped, waiting confirmations...

    If anyone ahead of me backs down, I'll take a pair even if they are in black. So scoop 'em up fellas. I don't think these will be hard to get rid of at that price.

    I'll add you to my list if you'll go with the $215 shipped and others back out.

    Ok, so I've got Doc and Sean covered.

    They were doing that 'limit 1 per cust' crap, so I bought one pair, took them out to my truck, then went back in bought another. (a process which takes about 45minutes per transaction at Fry's).

    I'm done.

    Cheers,
    Russ

    That would be more than A-OK by me. Awesome!

    Then I can almost give the RTi38s to Dave.

    The only thing worse about the way they do their lines out there is the way they handle returns.......

    I called the Fry's here in the Phoenix area and they're pitchin them at $198/pr, but trying to get them to price match the Dallas Stores.......

    I'm curious......4ohm or not, do y'all think that the LSi7's would put such a minimal draw on a receiver that they could run sufficiently as a 2 channel system? Seems kinda wasteful to have to get something more high end for something like a 7......the 9's I can understand though.......

    Ok guys, here's my thinking, I got two pairs ebony sealed, here's my take on pricing (Doller cost averaging across all the pairs): 3X$215 + 2X$160 = $965

    Divide by five pair: $193 +$20 S+H

    Make it $215 S&H included

    Current non-confirmed list: trinhl first, then Ghost, then Faster100

    I intended adding a little extra for you trouble (time) and was thinking around $250 shipped.

    James and Russ, WTG!

    Thanks for taking care the members, if the 15 ever come up at these discount rate, count me in! (won't be holding my breath, though)

    This is way too cool!

    Brett, with your 307, I don't think you will have any problem driving the 7, give it a try...can't go wrong at this price.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Ok, my list so far (Russ, you can feel free to steal from the top to close out your inventory) is:

    Trinhl (unconfirmed - He wanted some last week, but ebony was out, now I have them so he'll probably take them
    Grey Ghost (confirmed)
    Faster100 (Already got a pair in cherry,all I have (and Russ and Plano) is ebony)
    PJdami
    Francis1967
    rnp614
    Michael_w (No idea on duties...)

    I'll try and pick up some more tomorrow since I'm stuck at work until after 7PM and it literally takes 45 minutes today at Fry's for just one purchase so no promises. Also, the Garland and Plano Fry's only have the ebony LSi's left.

    If anything, I'd be putting them in a bedroom system, but in there I have a pair of RT16's, am currently using a pair of RTi38's, and the 7's would be too much I think. I have a HK Festival 60 system that isn't rated for 4ohm, so it's probably not a good idea.......

    Just leave 12dB headroom and you should be fine. I calculated 9dB worth of power (4X) is the difference between the power for 8ohm and 4 ohm at the same volume. Also add the diff in efficiencies...

    Throw me in line for a pair. I'll take a deli line ticket and wait my turn if it comes.

    If all the current people bow out, email me at red50stang@comcast.net

    I'm still in for sure if trinhl bows out and faster graciously lets me have them. Black or not; still a great deal and these would be some great surrounds for my setup.

    Trinhl is confirmed so I'm out of stock. Last I checked with the Plano store, they had 1 pair left. The Garland store had 2. I don't know about the Irving store yet.
