    Now here I have to disagree with you just a little Phil. I had a sub with my system before I got the amp. And to this day, getting my Parasound was/is still the biggest overall improvement that I made to my system.

    I got a very nice boost to the bass my RTA's put out once I hooked it up. I was even able to turn down the sub a notch because my drivers were performing better.

    So all in all, I would say having the combo of the 2 is the best of all worlds, and if I had to knowing what I know now, I would get the amp first & the sub 2nd.

    I have to agree with you on this also Cathy. I went back & reread the OP's original thread. His Yammie would have a tough time doing justice to the LSi9's for sure. A separate amp would be the way to go to properly run the 9's. But once the amp is in place the sub is the next best piece of the puzzle to be added. Now the 9's will perform like you've never heard them before.

    And a new Polk DSW-MicroPro sub would work very well with the LSi9's :D
