    In my opinion Tower speakers are better but it also depends on how much room you have.

    Those are the inwall versions of the LSi series. It should sound great. I would at least make sure your AVR has pre-outs though and don't be shocked when everyone suggests getting an amp. Do a quick search of lsi and avr or reciver for lsi and you will see what I mean.

    Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
    Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
    Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
    Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
    Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
    Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms)

    Thanks for ur replay . I heared tower speakers sound best , but my house is prewired for surround syatem . That is why I opted for LSi.

    Welcome Rinren.

    That is fine. What we are also telling you is that the LSI series is 4ohm which the Denon will have a hard time pushing. You will also need to invest in separate amplification in order for the speakers to sound the best & to not risk damage to them from the receiver being overdriven.

    Again please do a search here on the board for LSI & receivers.

    Rinrin I started on this forum with a similar question. I finally broke down and got a killer amp, dual subs and a 1080p projector. I spent a bit of money, but my home theater is the talk of the neighborhood and I would do it exactly the same again.

    LSi 15's (Front)
    LSiC (Center)
    LSiFx (Surrounds)
    DUAL SVS 20-39 CS Plus     (Passive Subs)
    Marantz IS201 I-Pod Dock[/SIZE]
    Panamax M5300EX
    Carada Criterion 106" Brightwhite Screen
    Sunfire TGA 5200 & (4) B&W 605's in the party room
