Finally ordered a pair of Lsi9's for HT. I always wanted a pair, but didn't get them because of the 4 ohm issue with receivers. I also bought a 5-channel amp to power them (Acurus A125x5).

This is it -- no more audio purchases for a while. Really. I'm not kidding.

    Congrats Early. You will love them. Try the 2CH thing after the break-in. As for the statement above - RIGHT! That's what my wife always says.

    Hmmm. Didn't consider that. OK, I'll do it. It'll be in three weeks, though. The 9's don't arrive until next week and I gotta give them time to break in.

    Nice choice Early!!! I'll bet they blend in real nice with your AAD 2002 center. I expect a full report once they're up & running.

    Now that I finally got my tweeters at the right height (although in totally Mickey Mouse fashion), the 9's are more dazzling than ever, particularly on vocals. I recently listened to "Belafonte at Carnegie Hall," an amazing recording, as well as a Diana Krall compendium I put together. The latter even includes some less-than-stellar MP3's from a file-sharing site. The quality of the vocal reproduction is almost spooky. "Smooth" doesn't begin to describe it. Maybe "silky" is better. Incredible at any rate.:p
