    They aren't very impressive and you see Fry's trying to sell Polk's bottom of the line speakers all the time at prices like these.

    I had a friend who bought several of different models, yet returned his $199 LSi7's without giving a test listen because he felt they were too expensive. I'm still kicking him for ruining my good deed telling him about the sale. He is happy with his R-series speakers, not knowing what he had in the LSi's.

    I think they are a good speaker for the money.

    Clearly not the best, but I am still happy with mine for HT duty.

    Do you get any more bass response out of these than you would out of, say, the r15 bookshelfs? It seems that the R30's are just R15's sitting on top of a big tube for venting.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Definitely. The extra cabinet size helps it play lower, plus it's a 6½" driver instead of 5¼".
