LSi where did they get that name?

The RT series was "improved" and called the RTi series.

Did I miss the original LS series?

Second, this is a quote from Micah

"LSi is not for you if you have to ask about it, that's the idea that Matt wanted to express. He wanted to get back to the time when Polk Audio was an elite AUDIOPHILE brand name. Boutique shops, demo rooms, mom & pop audio specialty shops."

I guess he forgot to include Crutchfield in his list, great place but it is mail order.

Just shooting off at the mouth this morning.
Dodd - Battery Preamp
Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
Outlaw ICBM - crossover
Beringher BFD - sub eq

Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

    A rebirth of the name from the vintage LS series.....?

    What does the 'i' stand for, or the LS for that matter?

    Man, I'm down with Dan getting his humor on........but it's also entertaining to see Dan go into a complete meltdown from time to time as well.

    On the whole, I prefer us to all be friends though but hey, everyone has to get thrown to the wolves from time to time.

    hoosier21,
    you ask "who is this Guy"?
    I'll tel you who he is.............HE IS THE MOTHER EFFER.

    Right now as I sit here.....I'm way more into 2 channel then I have been since I bought my very first dolby surround receiver.Yes I got a used pre amp and amp that I totally love to death.

    Pro Installer getting his common sense on? Naaaaa.Growth.......maybe.......stumbled onto something never considered before?ALL DAY.

    The upgrade road does have crossroads........
