any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen?

I have the Lsi15s. Have Loved them for 8 years now. May go with the LsiM 707 if / when I am convinced they are a 'real' upgrade. The biggest problem with POLK is the name POLK and the reasonabl;e price. Real people can afford them and can purchase them at real stores.. Now, if only a few fat cats could afford them, and you had to kiss some snobbish salesman's butt to buy them, they would be the darlings of all the anti-music, Audiogearphiles and their guru reviewers.

"Disregard most of what he has to say"

Whew!! Mr Shakey, That was a close one. I sure do thank you for sparing me the ultimate sanction. I thank you for the word 'MOST'. You could just as easy have ORDERED members to disregard ALL or EVERYTHING I have to say. I have always felt you were a shining example of what an Audiophile should be.
Thank You Sir!

But, I suspect you are a day late and a dollar short, with your comment.

Cheers

BTW, Mr Shakey, could you define 'quality equipment'? Thanking you in advance sir.

"Well since you have stated before that it all sounds the same, I guess it could be anything from Best Buy for you."

Maybe, maybe not, but it does not answer the question. I asked YOU, where does 'quality equipment' begin?

""Polk Lsi15. I have had the urge to 'upgrade' for 9 years. But there is nothing out there that would be an 'upgrade'"

Given my space and values, this is true. it also could be true in an absolute sense. I do not equate price and size with with sound quality. Now, there may be many fine speakers in the polk's class / price range, but that does not mean they would be upgrades. They may not be as good, or just as good. the 'monster' speakers are not considered due to size / appearance reasons. So saying for instance, that the Wilson Maxx is a better speaker, has no meaning to me. That's like saying a Formula 1 car is better than my fusion. It's too big and costly for me, and NO ONE has ever said it was the PERFECT speaker. I would rather have his and her S classes.

And I was not the first to say it all sounds the same. The FOUNDERS of this hobby said so. And they were true hobbyists. Made their system themselves. If I mentioned their names it would cause foaming at the mouth and howling throughout the site. I am sure you know your audio history, so you already know of them.
Cheers

Why all the anti-Polk hysteria? Maybe some of the more rational and knowledgeable members could weigh in on this phenomena. The answer has to include something UNIQUE to Polk. No other brands elicits such a visceral reaction.
Hell, even YORK gets more respect.

Can anyone explain this?

Just curious.
Cheers

BTW, Stereo Review, Julian, Leonard and Pete can also get them going.

Shakey:

I have noticed that you never actually answer questions, or add anything to the discussion. Maybe you should try that 'speaking in absolutes', this site could use a lot more of it.

It is apparent that you did not, or will not try to, understand the premise of my statements concerning Polk speakers, so we will let it go at that.

You are long on tic for tac, but very short on answers, or meaningful input. Conversations under these conditions get tedious very quickly.

Cheers

Et Tu, O-10?

They are not 'audiophile' speakers. They are speakers for enjoying music. Maybe that's the disconnect here.
I think 'audiophiles' listen to test tones or pink/white noise. Or, maybe you didn't like the polks because you had the wrong speaker cable. ahahahahah

James63:
hahahahah An honest man. And an audiophile to boot. Fancy that! I'm sort of partial to 60hz hum myself. You have not lived until you have heard 60hz on Wilsons.
Cheers
