Lsi 9 Review

[izafar]

An interesting read. Quite contrary to the other reviews that I have read about Lsi series, this one gives lesser marks to the upper end and midrange.

I read that review earlier. It's not that he doesn't like the speaker its just that he is compairing it to a B&W Nautilus 804 speaker that costs 2 1/2 times more (and a very detailed speaker if I remember correctly). I guess he is not one to say this speaker sounds as good as one costing 10X as much.

Those bast**ds !! How can they say that about the beloved Lsi9's !!! ;)

My $.02.....My Lsi's beat the B&W hands down for sound quality. Yea I listened to the 804's, nice speakers, but I prefer my Lsi's.

I think it boils down to personal preference really (but then again, what doesn't?). I think the Bowers and Wilkins has a slightly forward midrange (which some view as 'clearer'), and very detailed highs.

The Polk LSi 9 is probably the flattest speaker I've heard to date from the lower mids all the way out to beyond what a human can hear.

Some like it detailed, some like it flat, I'd actually like to have a pair of both.

Cheers,

I say we find the guy that wrote the review an KICK HIS ASS...WHO'S WITH ME?!?

[mantis]

LOL.......o man a lSi kicking ass club.....thats funny shit.

I'm with Russ on this.......it's personal taste.I for one also took Lsi over B&W.I was looking at the cdn9nt's and the rest of the theate package.Great speakers but fussy.I feel B&W doesn't play hard rock music well,my opnion....But give em jazz or classical and look out.Lsi to me seemed better suited for all kinds of music...more forgiving I guess.......lack of a longer post.

Just remember guys.personal taste goes into reviews.If the reviewer doesn't care for the sound quality of a given speaker or whatever they are reviewing, some wil go as far to BEAT/KICK the gear........I say reviews are reviews..good read and nice when alot of different reviewers feel the same way about a given product I will call it.......but guess what man........you got to be the reviewer and review it for yourself.Not that F%^K or any of the F&*ks out there can tell YOU what to use/like or dislike.......enjoy the read and leave it at that..........ok now where's my sword..........lets go Frank....LOL
