quick question, what, if any, is the difference between the old version of the LSI fx's vs the new version of the LSI fx's. there's a store near me willing to sell the old versions for a great price but I just want to know the difference. I think the tweeter and all are all the same but i think it's just cosmetic. anyway, just curious. hope someone can help. thanks

    Purely cosmetic:
    1)On the new ones, the dipole/bipole switch faces your main speakers instead of the back of the room.
    2)The edges of the speakers will be a little smoother /rounded on the new ones.

    I called polk about this since I saw some new ones and thought maybe they'd gotten the left/right stickers backwards on mine, and they told me what the changes were.

    Oh, and I could be wrong, but I believe that the rounded edge change was done of the full LSi line, not just the f/x's.
    So if they're cheap, grab 'em... quick!
