    why I like the LSi7 better than the LSi9?

    I listened to the two side by side this evening, and for some reason preferred the LSi7 over the more expensive LSi9. I'm not sure exactly why, it's almost like the LSi9 had too much midrange, I know that's retarded...

    Now granted I was at Tweeter, and they were running them off a Denon receiver, so I know that neither were powered correctly. I also know that this 'underpowering' is not a constant, as I imagine the LSi9 were underpowered more than the LSi7. I am sure I can attribute some of the sound difference to this, but I think it was more than that - I jsut think I like the general tonal character of the LSi7 better...strange I guess.

    Anyone else have similar findings?
    IMO,a guess ,the simpler design has an advantage at price point builds. A builder faces more engineering/driver tolerance/crossover/cabinet integrity challenges with a 3 driver 2-way vs 2 driver 2-way.
    Less room interaction,more coherent point source,better amp to speaker handshake.....the less is more,kiss,little goes a long way,school of thought.

    You see so many designs are straight 2 ways,or 2ways on a low frequency bin. Even a 2 way has integration hurdles but there are some very nice sounding budget 2 ways out there today.
