After much thought LSi-15,s in home by Friday,
It was a no brainer going with them at the price,new and full 5 year warranty.I have to give a lot of credit too the Ole Timers in here for all the input and advice they gave on them.Plus after all they do have a really good track record and a ton of great reviews.:cool:

First easy mod is to replace the stock sub with a db840 SINGLE VOICE COIL sub. Wait till Crutchfield has them at buy one get one for free.
Its a drop in replacement and helps tighten up the bass. There is a tread here about how to do it somewhere....."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

Damm da bad luck!Just got an update from UPS my LSi 15's where do in Friday.Now i will get them by Monday.They left CO,at 10:38 this morning.Bad weather slowed them up.I am ok with that really don't want anyone getting hurt.I just hope UPS doesn't bang them up.I was looking too all weekend playing around with them.I will upgrade the center to the LSiC for sure soon and maybe the backs.I am more music then HT.

Yeah, I do hope UPS will be kind with them... my LSi7 box had been slammed here and there, but nothing ridiculous (small holes) : the foam wasn't hit and speakers were top shape.Speakers: Polk Audio LSiM 705, LSiM 703, LSiM 704c
Receiver: Denon X3500H -
@pyrocyborg,Yep,when i order my PSW505 the first two came in really banged up had too send them back.The 3rd one came in by FEDEX small Van truck.It really was a shame too see them nice PSW505 messed up like that.Amazon did a great job with service.

Ok,just got them in at 5:38pm today.They came in with out a scratch on them!I must say the photos on the web sites don't do them justice at all!They are really a nice looking speaker in person.Just a note on what everyone was saying about them,youguys where right on about them..HUGE difference!I set then up put on some Diana Krall and then SuperTramp and Cat Stevens.As you guys who have these know how the sound stage and clarity of the LSi-15's are.I for one now know what a great speaker they have been.Thanks guys for all the input and help on this!Attachment not found.
I will add better photo soon. -
Glad you like them. Now just get the db840 subs for em and then mod the xovers :biggrin::razz:.....

@EnderShadow,Hey ole timer!Thank you for your input on them.Will do soon on the mod.I can't thank you guys enough!
Glad to get a fellow Polkie further along on their audio journey. If I can help at all let me know..... LOL....
P.S. first time I have ever been called an ole timer lol..... I am still a newbie compared to many of the old guard here
, but I appreciate the comment :biggrin:
Now sit back and enjoy the tunes. What you driving them with? "....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) -
Great speaker. Enjoy as is for a while then do the db mod. You'll appreciate the improvement more and it will be more worthwhile imo. Same thing with the xo mod. I've done both, spread out over a couple of years, and it's like getting new speakers each time. (Okay, that's an exaggeration, but both mods give a nice improvement equivalent to their cost.)Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden

Yeah wait till Crutchfield has the buy one get one free deal on the Polk 8" sub. That really makes it worth it. They run that deal often....

I have them in a 2.1 set up with the Polk 505 sub,H/K3490 as a pre-amp and Emotiva UPA-1'sx2 that is.They put out 350 into 4 ohms.Would i like a Krell mono?..Hell yeah i would! but for now they will do.They do have a nice warm sound too them,the UPA-1's that is.But as the LSi-15's are sooo smooth!!
-
@PSOVLSK,Thanks for the shout out!Yes great advice,Yes i will play around with them for now.I am thinking around the end of summer or fall i will do the mods on them.

For sure. That's how I got mine. When I ordered I had a credit at Crutchfield from a previous return that I had forgotten about. I want to say it cost me about $30 for two subs.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -

Thats a decent setup. Make sure you give them room to breathe. Post pics of your setup if you want. Also build yourself some DIY acoustic panels for behind them if you can..."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

Oh yeah i been reading up about panels,how they help out a lot.I am hoping too be moving from this APT i live in now.Oh i am using a ONKYO CD DX-390 player it has Vector Liner shaping with direct path sound,not bad for a 6 CD player.Also use a H/K3600 for HT,i use a Niles A/B amp speaker switch to go between the two units.Will do on the pic's of set-up,will get my hands on a better camera tomorrow.EndersShadow wrote: »Thats a decent setup.
