So what is your all time favorite Polk product?

And to keep it interesting for newbies....If you pick an out of production model, also tell us what your favorite current product is.

EDIT: Feel free to tell us why you like a particular model.

Right now I would have to say my favorite is the RT25i's I recently picked up in the FM.

My favorite current model would have to be the LSi7's

    LSi9s hands down for me...I've had 9s, 7s, and RTi38s in the past and I have to say that if I ever get the chance to put together another legit stereo system like I had before it'd be hard for me to not lay my hands on a pair of 9s for a second go-round. Theres just something about that tweeter that has me floored.

    Currently my favorite product is the CSi5 center channel. I shopped around quite a bit and went through a variety of center channels until I found one that had the clarity I desired.

    Of course... I am always ready to upgrade when a better appears. :)

    Suppose I just write you two guys a nice letter with mine?

    Now that's the second time my lineage and/or birth status has been called into question in the last two weeks. I have been called "the most negative SOB on this forum", and now a "****". I can assure you, my mom was not a female dog, and her last name was Grand when I made my entrance into this world.

    What I like best about this pen? It has built-in spell, grammar, and punctuation check. You can't write a bad sentence with it. What I don't like about it is, it is too fat to fit in a flight suit shoulder pen slot, but that's probably why I haven't lost it by now. It was a VERY long time ago that it was given to me.

    Second that. Honestly, I'm very happy with my whole HT setup, 90's, 400i, fx1000's. The inwalls doing back surround could use some upgrading, but based on the limited EX movies out there, I'm not that motivated to upgrade.

    My favorite Polk product is the RM3000, 3 piece w/ passive sub.
    They sound as good as any full range speaker at around the $1000 dollar a pair range...the mid range and imaging is much better than the usual 2 satellite and sub trio. great innovation!

    Love the Ls90 as second favorite Polk product, but when me & a friend did an a/b of the 90's and the RM3000, the 3000 didn't lag too far behind, actually it was hard to tell them apart. 90s beat the 3000's on lower freq. midrange clarity, but one had to listen super carefully to pick it up.
