Hello everyone,
Anyone have a pair of LSI 7's laying around?

    I just joined the forum. I've been using Polk RTI series speakers for 25 years or so but just picked up a pair of lsi7's. Paired with an RSL sub the sound is awesome. I'm curious, did you eventually find a pair?

    I did , I found a few but none of them were in good shape to my liking so I moved on. I've owned them in the past, I was looking for a pair for my Office. I ended up with Monitor Audio Bronze 7g Bookshelf speakers.

    Congrats. Really enjoyed my time with the LSi7.

    I have my LSi7 in my office and love them but only when properly powered (Parasound HCA-800ii). I tried a Parasound zamp figuring I didn't need it to be loud and it just didn't cut it.

    I'm enjoying my 9s, but I'd probably grab a set of 7s if they ever came across my radar cheap. I've heard many say they are the gem of the series.

    I owned the entire line of LSI back in the day except the Powered towers LSI 25's. The LSI 9 vs the LSI 7 I always felt the LSI 7's were more balanced and sounded better. The LSI 9's are not even balanced or tame. I always felt they were trying to hard and bloated compared to the LSI 7's. I sold all my LSI's back in the day and the 7's I should have just kept.
