any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen?


They are closing these out a such a good price I am tempted to buy them just to see how they stand up.
Flabby bass? Wide soundstage? Open natural sound? Perhaps someone can enlighten me? Comparisons?

I owned the LSi15s for a period and thought they were pretty good for the price. They were replaced by a pair of Proac Response 1.5s which were only slightly better IMO.
The LSi7 is one of my favorite small monitors at their current ebay refurb price.
Shoe, my impression of the LSi15s was that they had a nice tonal balance, good dynamics, although I don't play music loud very often, plenty of detail without getting harsh. There biggest failing was a flat soundstage, no depth of field. I like three dimensionality, which they lacked.
They are not 'audiophile' speakers. They are speakers for enjoying music. Maybe that's the disconnect here.

That makes sense to me as I have owned a couple (not all) audiophile speakers that were terrible at conveying the music.
