:cool: Yo guys,
Got the new speaker itch. Listened to B&W, PARADIGM, KEF, MIRAGE, KLIPSCH, BOSTON, SAPPHIRE. They all sounded great. But nothing that would make me give up my ENERGY CONNOISSEUR C7's. Then I heard the Lsi series at Tweeter. They all were fantastic. The one's that really grabed my attention were the Lsi 7's. The voices were just so darn natural & sweet sounding. I liked the 9's too but they sounded like they had too much going on all at the same time. The two towers were fantastic also. I also have a SVS 25-51+ sub. Working w/ the 7's I think it would be a perfect combination. The towers for the money just didn't separate themselves enough from the 7's to warrant the extra money IMO especially w/ the SVS sub. Now for power, I have a NAD T773 receiver for the center & surrounds (Lsi/FX) & the Jolida 60 watt integrated :cool: tube amp for the mains in HT & 2 channel. Do you think the Jolida has enough juice for the Lsi's? The jolida has two settings - 8 & 4 ohm so I am assuming they should be okay to drive them. I've heard different opinions on tube power, some say it's equal to 2 times SS power & others say a watt is a watt no matter how you slice & dice it. What are your thoughts?

That should be more than ample power.

I too like the 7's better than the 9's. I wouldn't run out and buy a LSi7/Jolida 502 setup but if I had one or the other I would put them together. For lower to mid level listening it would be fine. Actually quite awesome! If you run it reasonably loud though the combination just fizzles out. Yea, I've actually tried the combo.
