    I'm thinking about it, I can drive up there in an hr or so. The problem is I'm thinking about a nice sub too.

    How do these compare to my LSi15's ? I've wanted to get into some of the older Polk speakers. This seller is 5 minutes from me and they seem cheap enough.

    I haven't heard the Monitor 12's, but have heard Monitor 10's and LSi15's. I would keep the LSi's.

    I would stick with the LSI's also. 12's are nice if your like boomy. It almost to boomy for me. Those are really nice looking though.

    They kinda look like Mini SDA1's.

    Way to far away for me.

    Yeah I wasn't thinking about replacing the LSi15s. I just though these speakers would be something fun to have around maybe for a 2 channel system in another room of the house.

    I love mine as HT mains, less so for two channel. Well not at all for two channel. I agree with the boomy assessment.
