any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen?

Polk speakers are bang for the buck, no other speakers can compete, but if you're talking "audiophile", keep on moving.

Shakeydeal, I can write, but can you read. Bang for the buck means what it says. Dollar spent for dollars worth of sound = Polk Speakers. Now if you spend a gozillion dollars on Wilson or one of those other "Stereophile" speakers and then say yours is better, and you feel you got your money's worth, that's fine; but when you compare that speaker to "Polk", that's moronic.

Rok, every now and then you accidentally say something that's most profound. "I think 'audiophiles' listen to test tones or pink/white noise."

I don't know what they listen to, but this is the worst "music forum" I've ever seen. No longer do I bother to attempt a "thread", because you're the only person here who can even engage in a conversation about any music worth listening to. I could get more conversation from randomly talking to whoever I met walking down the street. Maybe I should start a conversation about test tones or pink and white noise.

During the time when I just about lived in "high end emporiums", we were jammin with all ARC electronics and Thiel speakers, when a customer came in wanting to audition a Rotel amp. Before the Rotel amp was inserted in the mix, all the instruments in the music occupied a place in space. You could point to the trumpet or sax, and all of the odd percussion instruments just popped out of the air, while the bass was solid as a rock emanating from it's place in space.

Once this Rotel amp was inserted, the music became one big "gumbo soup" again. My point is, even with "gozillion" dollar speakers, if you don't have a complete line up of "gozillion" dollar electronics, you ain't got squat.
