And they can still make money on it haha, shows you the cost of cheaply made speakers, I had owned the Monitor 70 speakers in the past, got them for cheap but IMO sounded cheap, I do want to hear some LSI's but nowhere to hear them, even if Futureshop had them to demo they would have some wimpy receiver powering them anyways

And they can still make money on it haha, shows you the cost of cheaply made speakers, I had owned the Monitor 70 speakers in the past, got them for cheap but IMO sounded cheap, I do want to hear some LSI's but nowhere to hear them, even if Futureshop had them to demo they would have some wimpy receiver powering them anyways I almost didn't try the Lsi's because of the name "Polk". Narrow-minded I know. Reminded of the term "podunk", lol. I quess I had the thinking that Polks were mostly low-end. But man, I was not prepared for what I heard! I have never heard any book shelf sound like the Lsi9's. The way that I have them positioned near the corners of my room, Dspeaker Antimode is showing they are flat to nearly 30hz. . The ring radiator tweeter on the Lsi9s like used on the Pendragons, and upper end Krell, etc., is nothing short of sublime. Also, the low end on these is clean, powerful, and articulate. Polk should make subs based on their power port technology. A 5.25" speaker reaching to nearly 30hz? What could a 12", or 15" speaker do?

Those are great deals! Maybe I should drop the price of some of my "for sale" items?

Power the Monitor 70's with entry level McIntosh gear and they don't sound so cheap. All amps and preamps do not sound the same and you generally get what you pay for. The LSi's are a different level and really need a great amp with high current output, with the possible exception of the LSi7 bookshelf speakers which are not so hard to drive. The LSiM's are even better.

If you're looking at the bulbs, remember all the A19s they have are NON-dimmable. Important for me, since I use led screw-ins for my bathroom light, and I have the fixture on a dimmer. Got my bulbs at H.D., good bulbs, a bit cheaper, and dimmable.

I had UPA-1's at the time, I had already purchased my Monitor Audio RX6 speakers but tried the Monitor 70's on the UPA-1's and the RX6's were in a totally different league, I'm sure the LSI series are way better though, just my experience of course Chad

For those of you looking to get into or back into Vinyl. Massdrop has a great deal on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon: The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon usually sells for about $399 on most sites with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge Massdrop has a "drop" going on for this table. If 10 people commit to it, the price is $359 If 25 commit, it drops to $339 and if 50 commit, it drops to the lowest price at $319 There is a shipping charge of $13.13 but even with that, you're looking at a hefty discount no matter what price it goes for during the drop. This may seem silly but it also includes a dustcover which is a huge deal. In this day and age of big fancy tables, most don't include one anymore. link to the drop: www.massdrop.com/buy/pro-ject-debut-carbon

The drop on the Debut Carbon has already reached the lowest price of $319 + $13.13 shipping. Anyone even remotely interested in vinyl should jump on this.
*For the record I am in no way affiliated with Pro-Ject or Massdrop, just trying to spread the love of vinyl.
