Buy LSiM's and sell my SDA's?

in Speakers
For 5.1 H/T in my man cave. The prices of the LSiM's are great at this time. Here is what I am thinking of doing:
Currently have these:
SDA SRS 2 (fronts)
CS350-LS (center)
SDA-2B (rear)
Thinking of buying these:
LSiM 707 (fronts)
LSiM 706 (center)
LSiM 703 (rear)
I could sell my current system for around $750.
Adorama has the LSiM package for $2000. So out of pocket around $1250 for a new LSiM 5.1.
I already have a killer subwoofer.
Thoughts? Should I?

yeah, make a 10.21
Are your current speakers recapped, are the drivers dynamated, spiked and equipped with RDO194's? If not that would be my suggestions.
a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
If you've ever wanted them, that deal's the deal.
Blink, and it might be passed.
Or maybe next time they'll be even less. I can't see how, though. They're literally at giveaway prices now.
I still can't get over the current deal. I was happy to pay F&F, couldn't afford them otherwise, but this deal is absolutely unbelievable. How much of an LSiM junkie am I? I don't need any more, but I was running through my list of friends I could try to convince.
This, but with the LSiM 705's...a better speaker, all-around. IMHO, of course.
As I write, I realize that I wonder which I would prefer had I the chance to hear both for myself. Related note/consideration - I love the 703s, but my understanding is that there are some flaws. If the 707s are like the 703s in their fat sound, I'd consider the 707s as long as they're not loose or boomy and don't require high volume to sound good.
One thing I notice with 705s is that it takes me more volume knob to reach the same listening output level as 703s. IIRC, another 5-6dB on the volume knob. Can't remember whether this is with or without the sub on the 703s. Due to the smaller driver set on the 705s vs the 703s?

Yes, I kind of want to make a change. The prices of the LSiM are really good too. I have a few different amps I can try on the 707.
Then go for it, you've got the gear to make sure they will be powered so what's stopping you. You will end up with nice looking, sleek, great sounding speakers that could keep you happy for years. That's a win all the way around.

"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."
The 2b's are stock. The SRS 2 have upgraded tweeters, Larry's Ring's and some other small mods.

Normally I would use the cable, but in this case, I do not due to a fireplace being between them.
It really does. Most of the time when viewing normal things I don't even turn on the subwoofer.
Only problem is that the SDA SRS 2 are a bit visually challenged LOL. And the LSiM 707 are so sexy.
