Polk Audio LSi9 Bookshelf Loudspeaker - 9/10 - Black Ash - *SOLD*

I'm selling my pair of LSi9 bookends to make room for other stuff. I love the speaker and it's served me well but I don't have the room to house 20 pairs of things anymore, and it's silly to boot.

I firmly believe that the bookshelf LSi's are the shining example of that lineup as I've never really liked the floorstanders but have owned them as well. When coupled with a nice, heavy pair of stands these loudspeakers will really turn your head if you haven't heard them before. The bass response is very impressive and while a bit laid back vocally, they are pretty accurate all the way up.

They are in minty fresh condition with about 145 hours on them. They are complete with original everything and will be packed to withstand an atomic blast.

All connections have been treated with CAIG Pro-Gold

Includes: Original everything

S0059ISLP.

    If it was still possible to sell organs on Ebay, I would be doing so to get funds for these.... I am dreaming of a nice set of 9's paired with a LSiC center for my Home Theater.... Wallmounted along with a 60" TV to replace my 59" DLP and I would be in audio heaven.....

    This is a no brainer if you consider it will cost 75 bucks to ship... he's asking the price of a used pair of 7's for a minty pair of 9's... someone get these.

    Good luck doro

    So you sold a pair a few days ago because they are too much for your listening area and just bought another pair :confused::confused:

    So I have to explain myself, huh? (smiley face there). A friend in Wisconsin was buying them and I was taking them to him at Thanksgiving. But, with Doro's, I intend to use the four 9's in the HTR system and move my CRS+ to my two channel system.

    The friend signed off on this deal as long as I kill the turkey.

    I think they're a much more well rounded speaker than the LSi15....especially if you have a decent subwoofer, they make even more sense. The side mounted woofer never really shined and even Polk admitted this some time ago.
