Not that I need any reason to upgrade (i need to cool it for a while), but the LSi line seems like it is probably sloping down in it's product life cycle and the product manager in me (its what I do) is wondering if the line is going to be refreshed similar to the RTi's soon or if Polk is cooking up with a new flagship line that will blow us away. Anybody know anything?

    I would not be surprised by an 09 showing of a new LSi line (probably for sale in early 10).

    I would not upgrade (I don't think) unless they were much more than a lateral (but perhaps better looking) upgrade. For now, I will wait until they come out with a new flasgship or go backwards and start looking for some of their older flagships... (3.1, 2.3 or 1.2's)

    Nothing official yet though just speculation and bench racing....
    Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
    Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
    Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
    Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
    Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
    Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms)

    It will certainly be interesting to see what they do. I agree it's time for a refresh of the LSi product line, or a new flagship line. It will be hard to beat the value for price ratio of the current LSi's.

    I think they should bring back the SDA's:D
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
