    From the Dali lines, I think Helicon 400 and Euphonia MS4 are worthy for auditioning, in my experience, Cathy.

    Btw, you are looking into a different sonic signatures, as you moving away from LSis. Have you auditioned 15? Of all the LSis, 15 is the closest one that I would give a two thumbs up, and be able to compete favorably against the higher-end speaker lines. Of course, IMO.

    I just know that I fell in love with the LSI series once I got the 7's for my brother. They do offer higher detail & clarity as far as music goes (to my ears).

    Once I heard them, I just knew I wanted a full setup of them. I just have to decide if I want to settle for the 9's when in my heart I want the 15's.

    I, too, though the Gallo's were unimpressive which has nada to do with anyone else's opinion of them.

    With the LSi's, I'm of the opinon the bookshelves are better than the floorstanders.

    oops...we are on a circle discussion :)
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    ^ Damn, I never noticed that... :D

    Cathy,
    Curious as to how your "sibilant" demo disks sound to you now at home? Are you hearing it?

    As for the rest.... different ears for different gears (or is it gears for ears?). My SRS's SL2000's would probably drive you nuts, but LSi's upper registers just lay there to my ears...
    More later,

    Knew they sounded fine before. I was just wondering whether they still did because you wrote that you found yourself looking to hear it in the demos after the Dali's assaulted your ears. Glad you did not bring the dreaded s-word home with you.

    Who's guys??? Not me guys. No, ma'am. Original tweeters here. All 8 of them. :D Did not realize you were hanging with the SL2000's as well.
