Just currious as to what other LSi-15 users are using to drive their LSi-15's? I'm using an Adcom GFA-7700.

    I believe there was a fairly large thread on this?

    Anyway; I'm using one Monster MPA 3250 for my frontstage LSi15's and LSiC, and another one for my surrounds(LSi15's).

    Don't laugh and I know that this is gonna create an uproar, I am driving my complete LSI system with an Onkyo Intregar 939. It is one of the most powerful receivers ever built. I have the psw 1000 on the way as well. I know its not the best but it matches and got it new for 500+.

    When I owned them, I used a B&K avr307. I had a 2 channel setup and ran them with a Rotel rb980bx. Both sounded great.

    That same amp is now pushing my LSi9s.

    When I had them,I tried various amps,Belles 350a,Odyssey Stratos,Odyssey Mono's,Anthem and lastly a pair of small tubed mono's.For me,placement was an issue(bass control) so I had to let them go.They are very good speakers,and once you get em' "dialed in" ,,leave em'. Enjoy.

    I'm using a pair of Adcom 565 monoblocks purchased from Cursed1. So far I'm very pleased with the new speakers and the amps. I just wish my wife would go visit her parents soon so I can really break them in....
    ....just kidding honey...yes, I'm coming....I'm sorry.

    I'm not typically a Monster fan at all due to the huge mark up of there products, but I came across a Monster 3250 at Costco of all places going for only $750. It is normally sold for $2500-$3000. I almost bought it, but didn't know anything about it, so opted to do some research on it. I have the LSi15's fronts and LSiC center, and the Monster is a 3 channel amp. It's a beast weighing almost 100lbs! Does anybody have any knowledge to this particular Monster amp? The price seems unreal, and I've read for the most part, exceptional reviews, anyway, any thoughts? My Polks are currently being run by my Pio Elite 82TXS, so I need an amp!
