Mga masters at braders 
Eto mga pinaplano kong next speakers. Gusto ko lang sanang hingin ang inyong mga opinion at suggestions.
Baka pwedeng makapagbigay kayo strengths and weaknesses nila. Ang gamit ko is around 70% movies and 30% music... 
Salamat mga masters and braders

sir louie ito ung reveiw ni master ivan (stagea) s LSI9
Last Tuesday was my third time to hear an LSi9 pair. I’ve heard them with the Marantz PM8003, the Harman HK 990 and a VTL amp (dunno the model, but it had 8 KT88s… 4 per side). I particularly liked them with the Marantz and the VTL. Both gave justice to these magnificent speakers, as the Marantz livened up the dynamics, while the VTL provided an enveloping sound and air around instruments. The Harman was also good, but the partnership got exceedingly warm to my taste.
Going back to the speakers: Build quality is excellent. It easily passes the knock test, and the weight is truly reassuring. Aesthetics is top-notch, save for that white print on the tweeter waveguide. The sonic character is lush, smooth and refined. It’s the type of speaker that draws you into the music. These speakers can be a bit reserved in the upper registers (when used for movies or electronica), but natural music presentation is its true raison d’etre. Jazz vocals are intimate and the wind from brass instruments reverberate with a vibrant burnished tone. String instruments become pleasingly lovely with that balmy resonance from the woodwork. Percussions come to life with a controlled and satisfying snap. Dynamics is truly there, as long as you have the right amp for the job. Testing some fairly complex tracks showed that these speakers don’t easily congest (a problem I notice with lesser speakers).
I would’ve wanted to test the LSi9s with some classical works, but I forgot to bring test discs.
However, I’m sure they’d do great in those as well. It’s astonishing how this decade-old design can keep up with the current offerings, and still offer amazing value (great sound for the outlay).
The LSi M may be coming, but the outgoing LSi models are still shining brightly. It’s hard not to recommend them at their respective price points.
ito naman s LSI7
I was able to hear the Polk LSi7 today matched with the Onkyo C-S5VL SACD Player and A-5VL Integrated Amp. They surprisingly work very well together. Smiley I was able to compare it to the pricier B&W CM5 as well, partnered with the same gear.
The LSi speakers sounded best on-axis (fully toed-in and facing the listener), and this is probably because ring radiators are known to roll-off quite a bit off-axis. The CM5s on the other hand sounded a bit shrill-on axis, and preferred being pointed straight forward.
The Onkyos sounded brighter and snappier when connected digitally (we were playing plain-old Redbook CDs), and matched the LSi7s better in this configuration (improving PRAT). The CM5s were a bit too forward and fatiguing with this setup, and sounded much better with an analogue connection (more relaxed sound, and with more weight on vocals). The SACD Player and the matching Integrated Amp have different DACs and supporting circuitry, which may be the reason for this variance.
With the ideal setting for both speakers (toed-in and connected in digital for the LSi, and aimed straight-forward and connected in analogue for the CM), both were spectacular speakers for their respective price points. I'd be very happy with either. Smiley
