    I was always under the impression that the L Series was TOTL now. Whether that's going to replace the LSiM? Good question.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    At the current prices they might as well replace the rtia

    The plan from many years ago was a simplified line:

    Good = T series
    Better = Sig series
    Best = Legend series

    With the new management who the heck knows what they’re doing now. They is clearly still stock of the RTiA and LSiM series...

    They could just keep selling the current LSiM line at a discount as they have for the last several years. Saves on development and manufacturing costs. Nothing wrong with them really and they must be making money on them. Either that or someone keeps finding shipping containers full of them somewhere.

    I agree, but it’s also very difficult to justify the cost difference between the LSiM703 and the l100 or l200. The l200 is a bit better in many respects, but if I could get new 703s for say $800 vs the l200 for $1500-1800, I would be very tempted to just go with the 703s and upgrade other components...

    I agree with rooftop, if you are looking at the bookshelves, the 703s do a very nice job and the value is outstanding, as you can get them for $800, or often less. I also say this without having heard any legend series, so maybe that opinion isn’t worth much... but bottom line, I think the Lsim series is nice and people will probably keep buying them if they’re available.

    I usually buy this stuff at used or at discount when it’s not the latest and greatest anymore, so people who don’t shy away from full MSRP, that’s another story. I’m sure the legend series is nice if you wanna spend the $$.
