RM40's vs. TSI300's vs. Lsi7

bhoup

Hey folks, I'm new here. I started out with Polk Audio T90E (Monitor 60's) a few years ago and made the switch to the RM40's last summer. While I like how they are a bit smaller, I think I still prefer the sound of the T90E's better. Anyways, I am thinking about "upgrading" to either TSI300's or LSI7's? Any suggestions? Are either options "price-worthy" compared to the RM40's? BTW, I mostly listen to music but use my system also for movies. (Whatever series I get, I will end up buying the matching surrounds and center)

Thanks!
Brent

The LSi7's are by far the best speaker you mentioned. They're the top end of Polk's offerings. Make sure you have an amp that can drive them though, as they are 4ohm speakers

Tsi300= bang for the buck.
Lsi7= very accurate, but needs an amp that handles 4 ohm loads.

If you don't have an amp that can handle 4 ohm loads, and you like to listen to your music/ ht at higher (enjoyable lol) levels, you will probably kill your receiver with the lsi's.

Have you considered the RTi A1 or A3?
