    I think I might buy another pair down in Austin (heading there for business tonight). I could potentially have the makings of an insane HT for my house (when I get one) for about $1000 (4 LSi15 +1 LSiC).

    Wish I hadn't sold that LSiC recently.

    The only LSi15's I've seen at the local Fry's are the beaten up demo models. Great snatch if you can find a new one in a box.

    Frys dont ship (and dont even bother try calling because you'll just a simple no). However, you might want to go into the local store and really have the sales person look. I called my local frys and they said there were none left. When I went in person, the guy looked into the system (he went into a few sub menu) and found 3 of them in stock (2 left brand new, 1 right open box).

    I just opened my right channel "open box" and it's in brand new condition. Honestly, I think the guy who returned this never even hooked it up because all the wrapping, tissue, etc was still attached to the speaker (and I didnt see any fingerprints). Anyways, I'll see tonight when I try to hook it up.
    There's still right channel left in my local frys.

    Good luck

    I just got back from Frys in Las Vegas. Polk LSI15s have been "red tagged" and are on sale for $199 each. I went in hopes of snagging the LSiFX for cheep. They only had one pair of the LSiFX, and wanted close to MSRP ($899) for them. They also did not carry the LSiC, but the LSi bookshelf speakers were on display at regular prices....which is comical gven the LSi15 price. Talk about loss leaders.....

    I called all the people I knew who might care about this deal, but I dont think they'll bite. I even tried to turn on another customer who appeared to be interested in tower speakers to them. I'll be honest: I am bothered that these speakers went on sale for practicaly free.

    But who should I be mad at? Frys, Polk, myself, or no one?
    Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:

    Noone. It's excess stock.

    I was able to get in on this deal at Fry's. It was a real headache but got it done. My local store, Atlanta, only had one black left side in stock and one cherry right. After really working the salesman, he located a black right side in Indiana, called the store and got it shipped in. That store made a mistake and sent a set of cherry which was fine with me since I like the cherry better. Now I need a deal on a center channel speaker.

    They shipped to the store, not to me. Maybe I just got lucky? Isn't the Lsi15 discontinued? Wouldn't that explain Fry's blowing them out?
