LSiFX a good surround speaker?

dixlon

Hello fellow Polks,

I have a 20x14.8x9 HT/2 channel dedicated room. The HT feature is 7.1 prewired and I wanted to get your opinion about the LSiFX as a dipole and bipole surround speaker? Are they good at producing HT surround and SACD sound?

I will be running the whole LSi line with the Emotiva XPA-5 and XPA-2 amps.

Thanks for your opinions!

HT surround yes

Heavy SACD ..... you might consider LSi7's as your surrounds. I believe that SACD is still only 5.1?

They are fantastic for both. I owned them and loved them. I also had the Lsi9's which I used a few times for rears and I still liked the Lsi/fx. For music and movies when properly calibrated and positioned, they rock. I really enjoyed owning the Lsi series. If I had 2 I would own them again.

Thanks for your response. For the LSi7 would you place them as a center rear or side surround rear with a 7.1 setup? Would they be used as bipole for the center rear surrounds?

Hi Dan

Thanks for respnse. Did you use them for a 7.1 setup? Dipole for side surround and bipole for the
Center surround?

excuse the sarcasm.


UUHHAA Yea. They are very good speakers that work very well, they are part of Polks higher end speakers and nothing less (in Polks eyes) would do.
I say get them if that is what you are looking at.

Hi Dave,

Another vote here. I use them in my HT with LSi9's out front and they are great.

Here's another vote for the F/X. I have LSI 15 fronts with a LSI C. All run from an Emotive LPA-1. Best set up I've ever had.

I use all lsi speakers with a 5.1. You will be quite please with their performance.

LSI/FX for surrounds and Lsi9's for surroundback. thats what I used. But the Lsi7's I would have used instead of the Lsi9's. Then I could have wall mounted them.
