Test Report: Polk Audio LSiM Speaker System
Polk’s powerful towers will rock your room’s foundation.

"the LSiM Series array I auditioned is a reference contender that should happily stand comparison with low-production- volume, high-end designs of similar heft and price, and even substantially higher."

Si carlo, narinig mo na rin ba yung LSiM703? How was it for stereo listening? And do you have an idea how much this bookshelf is?

Between the LSi9s and the 703s for HT, im betting on the 703s.

But for pure 2 channel audio im still torn, more so now na I think broken in na yung 9s ko, finally getting the brightness I deserve.

That I'm not too sure either. I'm actually looking for power amp for my speakers too. I'm currently using an onkyo 3008. I wonder if anyone out there can help us out.

+1 sa tube amp brader to make them more balanced.
When I auditioned the 703 before its somewhere on the bright side paired with my parasound power amp.

you mean "Porch" brotha! It's just outside of the door of Audio Amplified with a good view of Libis

But when you look inside the store, you will also see alot of Cayin's. So when you think of it, you are on the Porch, looking the Cayin amps. Then it becomes, Porch Cayin

The missing link in my case (for the 9s) is a Rotel RB-1582. The RA-06SE loses steam at my listening volume for the 9s.

I tried the 703s in MLY when my RA-06SE arrived last december - in one word = perfect

LSiM 703s driven by the RB1582 with RA-06SE as preamp is also perfect

Also tried the RA-1520 lying around there, it had tad more midrange on the 703s., same is true when the RA-1520 as preamp and RB-1582 as power amp

You get a different sonic character with the 703s when paired to a tube / hybrid power amp, so goes with tube/hybrid preamps

Thanks sir mikeer2002ph for the help. I wonder though what will make the towers really sing properly. When I heard them, they seemed to lack the midrange and some of the highs that the 703 clear had in spades

carlo.A · « **Reply #142 on:** Jun 06, 2012 at 12:48 PM »

I'm asking because I miss seeing towers as my fronts

Carlo,

The oval drivers on the LSiM 705s/707s are tough nuts to crack when it comes to breaking them in.

I heard the 705 out of the box - it was BLAND, went back a couple of months after and it sounded a lot better but the folks in MLY need more R&B and other bassy albums to work out those ovals.

Only thing that got worked out were the mids/highs LOL

I dont think typical entry to midlevel AVRs would be able to let the 705s/707s (as fronts) sing to their full potential unless you couple them to a beefy power amp via the AVR's preouts

carlo.A · « **Reply #145 on:** Jun 06, 2012 at 01:04 PM »

I was thinking of the same thing. When went back there after ages months, the towers din sound better but compared to the 703, they were still very different when it came to the mids and highs.
But I guess you are right, I'd need a really beefy amp for them.

Hmmm.....

That's the wisdom behind me ordering the RB-1582 (should I decide later on for a LSiM FS). The LSiMs may be 8ohms, but the towers crave for current.

The 703 is a different case though, the woofer cone is easier to break in hence is a joy to use out of the box.

carlo.A · « **Reply #147 on:** Jun 06, 2012 at 01:37 PM »

So what you are saying is that the fs will get better. I guess when I was there last, it wasn't fully broken in yet. Thats why I ended up getting the bs set instead.

yep. I also sent you a PM regarding a workaround on getting those oval drivers whipped to shape.
