Truly mint, matched pair of LSi-15. $800. Local pickup in DFW area is preferred. PayPal f/f is preferred for a secure transaction.

This is the second edition of this model, which featured a much nicer piano gloss finish than an earlier edition that had laminate veneer with seams. This edition also has a much higher quality cherry veneer for the bottom woofer sides.

These speakers where driven by separates and stored at home for the past several years, hence the sale. I really do love the sound of this model for both music and theater.

Cosmetic condition of both speakers is excellent. Speakers have been placed back in their original boxes with all of factory packing material, down to protective cloth around piano gloss finish. Manuals, factory spikes with rubber protectors for hardwood floors are included.

    Thank you! I agree that these are among the most elegant speakers that Polk has ever created.

    All stock! Had plans to upgrade base woofers but with subs didn’t feel the urge of messing with them.

    They where my favorite polk speakers I ever owned next to my LSI7's. I had the 9's, the LS/FX and the Center Channel back in the day.

    Geez they are really nice looking, they look like I owned them by their condition. It's how I like to take care of my stuff, nothing worse then a scratch.

    Man if I needed them somewhere I would buy them.

    Agree with everything you’ve said. These speakers replaced Sonus Faber and Monitor Audio floorstanders in my system costing almost 3x more. Very musical speakers with signature Polk sound but refinement of Danish designs thanks to that ring radiator tweeter.

    If I were closer I would buy these from you... but it's a bit too long of a drive from Illinois. I have the LSi15's but in the gray finish.... I like yours better!

    The ring radiator is when Polk started making high end loudspeakers again. Fine choice.

    Good luck on that one…

    An idea would be to set up a listing on US Audiomart. The two of you could then discuss and exchange information there through direct emails. Listings are free so no cost would be involved.

    Thanks for the tip that will be my next step. Polk forum has slowed down somewhat from years past.

    Dorok what do you mean? I’m offering these speakers for sale. Polk PM system appears to be down so I might follow advice on here and post it on USAudioMart.

    Still available. Have two interested parties that are not local and FedEx quoted me about $300 at full declared value. If anyone is interested and ok with the shipping cost, I’d be willing to ship and will reinforce factory shipping boxes to decrease the chance of accidental damage.
