Big LSi or Little LSi....

My current setup is Polk RT25i's all around with a 200RTi center and an SVS PC20-39. This is all powered by a Sony ES 9000 pre/pro and amp. I love these little speakers (dare I say little???) but I fear I could do better with the amp feeding them. (I loved the stereophile review taking about the 25's being his Favorite <1k speaker)

Alas the new LSi's show up and my local B&M store is on the list of stores to carry them!!!! (Shocking since I live in the middle of nowhere in Southern Minnesota)

Now my real question. The SVS Sub RULEZ and I won't think of replaceing it for anything but a better SVS. Besides Hometheater I dig music (I'll soon be married to a Eventual Music PHD / Composer).

So looking at the LS series the 9s really jump out at me with f/x's for surrounds. Is there ANY reason for getting the 15 or 25 (what is the difference between them besides the name and price and a few db down low??) over the 9 since as I have a dang nice sub??

Any input would be great!

    LOL Yeah I like the WTF been a member there longer then here :)

    Thanks for you input, I'm not too worried about speaker stands I like wall mounting them. Seems to help with the base too! I'm happy to see my local store is on your list of venders, I'll have to go give these speakers a listen... Too bad you can never tell in the store what it is like at home :(
