If you notice the LSiC, it looks like a 9 that fell on one side, got longer and the ARC ports got farther apart




=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I got excited, so instead of waiting for the stands from delinsk, I temporarily placed the one of the speakers on top of the klipsch sub (with its own stand) and the other speaker on top of my desk

[audiojunkie]

Nice Speakers!    

Congrats!  

[qguy]

Nice !!!.

The plate on the back intrigues me. I have location issue with my bookshelves as its near the wall with and the port is at the back ARGHH!!!.

The tweeter looks familiar    it must be good !!!

The powerport (Found on the RTi/LSi) basically has a cone that is centered at the center of the back port, supposedly the plate allows close placement on a wall or even flush mount without adding port noise / affecting bass performance.






*****************************************

The stands are here! just a couple of minutes of blue tack and 3M bumpons and another listening session!

[qguy]

Thanks, now how to add something like that to my setup is the tricky question. Does the tip if the cone penetrate the port or its just ends at the opening ?     The Legal department at Polk just started a meeting

Tip of the cone penetrates about half an inch into the center of the port, and the cone is shaped like mayon volcano.

On the LSi7 / RTiA1 / RTiA3 the powerport also serves as a wall mount

IMHO, placement of the power cone would be very crucial because it would also add "length" to the port. Can you try removing it and see if there's a diiference, assuming you will mount it far from the back wall.

@qguy, if you plan to DIY the power cone, i suggest that you do not follow the polk configuration. Better siguro kung mga at least 1" yun layo nun tip ng cone sa opening ng port.

[Wildfire™]

mukhang pwede ung cones ni sir macdon 

[rhapsody9]

Ganda ng speakers mo sir congrats sa upgrade

Ganda ng speakers mo sir congrats sa upgrade 

Thanks!

[defcon3]

congrats sir sa LSI9! can you please pm me how much yung damage?

[mikeer2002ph]

updates

since the house in pasay will be undergoing major renovations, and it will take several months to a year to finish, i relocated all my gears in another site in Batangas city.

[delinsk]

hi sir

congrats! did the stand fit in the speaker....the LSi9 is huge huh!

[mikeer2002ph]

hi sir

congrats! did the stand fit in the speaker....the LSi9 is huge huh!

width-wise the base of the LSi9 is a perfect match to your stands. length-wise the LSi9 is roughly 2 inches longer than the stands so the speakers are flush fit to the stands at the back while the front has a 2 inch gap.

also liberally used blue tac and thin bumpons at the bottom of the speakers for sitting snugly to the stands.

Thanks for asking!

=)

[delinsk]

well i think that makes the stand almost perfect to your LSi9 sir......

How about a picture?

thank you...

oh, the raw pics are in the desktop PC in batangas (no internet connection there). I'll be transferring the pics on the lappy once I get back so I can upload them when I travel to manila

Unlike the power port on the RTi Ax (I had the RTiA3s) series of speakers that you can literally take off with 4 screws at the back, on the LSi7/9, there's no sign of how to take out the powerport. Im suspecting it is screwed from inside the enclosure.

The tweeter looks familiar    it must be good !!!

Its a ring radiator tweeter from Vifa Denmark.

Same ring radiator tweeters in other high end speaker brands

FYI Scan-Speak and Peerless have merged with Vifa in recent memory

[defcon3]

san ba yung lugar ninyo sa batangas sir? open na open ung window oh, madaling dukutin ung lsi9....

[tein]

Nice Hk3470, btw how does it perform? Padating na ganyan ko from my uncle and after 9 years it's still brandnew. He didn't use it since the day it was installed and tested. Hope that my coming hk3470 still works

We're located in a compound in Batangas City so we're kinda safe. Also the people in the compound are more into karaoke so my setup does not register with them..for now.

Guests who came in the other week dont even know the brands "Harman/Kardon" and "Polk Audio" so there you have it.

The 3470 performs fine. It has my ideal level of power, bass and treble. It sounds fatter though as compared to the 3480/3490. Its a rare find nowadays.

9 years is just about right since I got mine circa 2002. So your uncle's 3470 about the same age as my 3470.

its built like a tank, so most likely you only need to clean the internals and pots and that's it.

[tein]

Ok might check it later, hope it still works though.  thanks mikeer!

you're welcome! enjoy your HK3470 and PA2000 .. i hope you've hooked it up already

[edison]

Ganda LSi9 mo Sir, sarap i-partner ibat-ibang amp jan specially yung roksan(ito kasi dream amp ko for 2 channel set-up) tapos walang sub dahil kumpleto na at malanis tumunog. By next year ko na siguro maririnig yan ng live sa house nyo sa Pasay pag naayos na hehe.

Kabayan ka pala sir.. Im from Lipa... in my case i moved all my equipment from lipa to Manila he he he.. LCD na lang natira sa house ko sa Lipa.. Though pag dumating isang receiver ko im planning to setup one in my house sa lipa....

Hayaan mo Edgar, I'll eventually move back my stuff to manila pag tapos na yung renovation work.

I am actually tempted to hail audiophiles from batangas city / lipa since moving.

Anyway, nakakaantok daw music ko especially when I listen to Chris Botti / Salena Jones in the morning.

Then again as for acoustics and ambient noise - nothing beats the province, kalaban ko lang sa gabi are the crickets, and the kids who tries to poke the speakers in the morning
