With all of the discounts on the LSiM line, and the Signatures coming out almost 2 yrs. ago, do you guys think Polk is about to replace the LSiM Line with a new flagship speaker? I will be in the market for speakers in the LSiM retail price range next year and would like to stick with Polk, but am wondering if I will be looking used or different brands in that price range.

    No. People who work around tractors and other loud machinery typically don't have nice stereo systems.

    I have a nice stereo system and I shop at Walmart. I would think this is true of a fair number of this, and other, audio forums' members.

    Nice, eh? That's like saying the Niagara river trickles over the falls. :blush:
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Why so much disdain for America's superstore? :/

    Good question TBH b/c Adorama has the largest LSim's for $1K each. Seriously considering an upgrade from the Rti's I'm currently running now.
