I think I may be chaning my mind and going with LSI 7's instead of 9's. Going to eventually pair it with an SVS SB12+. Just wanted to get some opinions on the 7s. I heard them in a Tweeter and like the 9's I liked them.

Thanks for any input.

    Nothing wrong with the 7's, a very nice match with SVS. I ran them as main before going with 15's and while I can't say I did A/B testing, there doesn't seem to be that much difference.

    I agree. Ran 4 lsi7's and the LSiC before I got the 15's. Sounded great (with a good sub)

    Thanks for the input guys. Currently I'm running Rti4s, PSW 10 with an Lsi c. Needless to say my Lsi c has been telling me it wants new friends. :)

    I chose the LSi7 for my HT, as I found no benefit in going LSi9.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    +1. As a matter of fact, I'd probably do well to move my 7's back to the HT and run my 15's without a sub in my 2-channel set-up.

    Cool, good to hear. I'll be waiting to see what Uncle Sam owes me before I pull the triger. Found them new on ebay from a guy who sells them with the warrantly for 499. Unless i see a better price on audiogon or here of course.
