Is the only difference the price and one has a powered subwoofer? Also if I bought either, what kind of amp do I need to push them properly? Thanks,Darryl

    Hello,
    Welcome to the Club.
    I prefer "LSi 15" without Subwoofer asset because it allows me to better manage the balance in my room, and offers me a better sound without effect "boom"
    I accompany my system with a Velodyne Optimun 12"
    Amplifier: I use the best: is a Sunfire

    Another vote for the 15's, plenty of speaker and with a good sub or two, will sound amazing. Amps to look into would include, Adcom, Rotel, Sunfire, Emotiva to name a few.
