    Thanks Treitz,

    Hi Wingnut!

    I love the LSI series but would like a stronger center and bigger drivers in general for my LCR... I love the look of them so custom cabinet finishes do not interest me...

    Enjoying my system - I typically hit the forums harder whenever the upgrade bug begins to bite :-)

    How about yourself?

    tdeluce, try emailing polk about any upcoming lsi's. I did. The guy from polk informed me to watch out for them.. No specifics though. Please do not quote me for it though. I was just informed from someone there. If you do not get a satisfactorily answer, go the the club house and go the the polk on ebay thread. Russell could fill you in. I am hoping that the new lsi line will elevate beyond the old. It should represent as the new Flagship. Fingers crossed!!!

    That is what I am hoping for. I also believe the LSi center is the weakest link in the LSi series so hoping for a better center and larger drivers in my LSi15s to match my LC265s.

    Thanks, sounds like Polk wants to keep it secret so people don't stop buying the current LSi series...

    Do you think they would have a trade-in program for the owners of the current LSi?
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Look for an LSi micro speaker (you didn't hear it from me), other than that, don't expect a line re-vamp this year, or even next. The micro may not even materialize anytime soon.

    READ MY LIPS - New LSi are NOT on the immediate horizon. Polk is showing off the new products at CES RIGHT now, and LSi is not one of them (new).

    Not sure if this is a 'new' LSi 25 or not...but it is being displayed at the CES this week. Any ideas?

    All they need to do to the Lsi line is offer more finish options. Having black gloss with choice of Ebony or Cherry I feel is 2 limited. If they added the option for Maple , Walnut , oak , Natual Cherry , red Cherry , etc that would be very decor friendly. Also off a full cabnet color change. Having just the gloss black kinda sucks.

    Sound wise I see/hear no need for improvement.
