    I love the LSi's, but I guess if I really had a budget of $5000 for just speakers, I would get these:JM Lab Electras
    I'd save some more (around $8,000) and buy the B&W 803D

    Retarded question, but very important: would this room be more for watching movies or listening to music? I know you have a plasma and all, but if you listen to more music than you watch movies, I would recommend a setup more geared towards music.

    Interesting coming from someone who has $52.00 busted speakers.

    : not * if you're going for smiley's

    Topic at hand, this whole thread is another waste of bandwith and borderline trollish. If the guy listens to the bose setup and likes it more than the LSi, well than great for him. Probably 9,999 out of 10K would disagree with him but that's his business. If not, he's just trying to be a troll.

    For that much scratch, I would hope you would go out and do substantial listening and demos and decide for yourself.

    Original poster: Go out and listen to some sets of speaks at your local B&M and see what you like, then come back and let us know. Then we can help with some suggestions.

    Want a polk line that fits all you're trying to do? LC265i's or LC65i's all around with an IB or SVS cofee table sub.
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin
