blueboxer,

I would really appreciate hearing your assessment of how the different speakers perform with you Anthem equipment. I have been running my B&W 804's and HTMS4 with an Anthem MCA 30 and...

B&W 804s

My girlfriend and I saw the new Samsung 55" 3D at Best Buy last weekend and thought it was a visual marvel. The depth and clarity of the images was amazing. Now, I'm anxious to see how the Masters...

I recently replaced my LSI front sound stage with B&W804s mains and HTM4 center resulting in a nice improvement. Vocals are more natural and the sound stage is seamless, silky smooth and clear and...

If it were me, the first thing I would do is think about relocating your rack, even to the adjacent wall on the left when looking at the front sound stage. Then bring the speakers out so they are out...

B&W 800 D's

B&W 805's used is you can find them

If you're going to do both ends of all connectors you will need seven 4 packs or 14 2 packs. That's if you don't bi wire, of course. And now class, for our next math problem....just kidding. They...

Yeah, that's what I'll probably end up doing. Think I'll call Polk on Monday and see if they can describe what's under the panels. If it's not glossy, I'll probably go ahead and paint them, very...

Thanks Jimmy, but the speakers were already out of box at the dealers for a few months as demos which was great 'cause I got them at a nice discount. They will not get any sun light. The difference...

Hey Guys,

I just upgraded my front sound stage from LSI 9's to B&W 800 series monitors in cherry wood. The shade is quite a bit lighter than the darker cherry on my PSW 1000 sub. So, I thinking,...

Shouldn't be a problem. I used a 400csi for my center with my LSI9's for a couple years and even that was fine. Ultimately got the LSIc mostly because of weight and size issues, plus it didn't hurt...

I would for sure consider replacing them with LSI 15's and a good amp. That would leave you lots of money left over.

I replaced my LS50's with LSI 9's a few years ago and the improvement in...

Does anyone know how compressed the music is on Comcast music channels? They say its CD quality, but it sounds kind of flat and dull to me.

Thanks for your replies......I know this is the norm when matching volume on speakers with different ohms, but given that the LSI's are all 4 ohm, I am surprised to see it. I believe I recall...

I have an unexpected issue with my LSI C I want to ask you guys about.....I have to set it about 5db louder in order to match the volume level of my LSI 9 mains. I have all three bi-wired and have...

I made the same move a few years ago when I upgraded to the 9's. At that time I had a csi400 center that was a very good speaker but didn't quite match the LSI's. I used them together for a couple...

The LSI's can actually sound kind of flat and dull without the right amount of power. So much so that you might wonder what all the hoopla is about and why anyone would want them. When properly...

Rubin,

I think 5 grand is a good sweet spot. I got there pretty much by chance with the money I invested in electronics, speakers and interconnects. If you divide that money roughly in half for...

Very pleased with how my PSW 1000 blends with the LSI 9's for both music and HT. Has excellent music tones and comes across strong for HT. At your price, you can't go wrong.

With proper amplification, the LSi9's make magnificent music as well as HT. No bhoom bhoom, just crystal clear, rich deep sound. Give them a good listen, I think you will agree. Have had mine for 3...

I needed some new wire a couple years ago, so I got the biwire from blue jeans. Very good quality, inexpensive, flexible wire, easy to hook up but didn't notice any improvement. Oh well, it looks...

I think the Lsi series is a definite step up in quality. I had the LS50's for many years, the baby brother of the LS90 series and they were quite good. But when doing an A/B comparison to the...

Spike,

I used a CSi400 center for a couple years with my 9's and it blended fine. I replaced it with the LSIc partially because I wanted a lighter, smaller center to fit into my shelf and I also...

Anywhere from a 28 to 30 inch height for the speaker stands is ideal due to the tweeter being in the middle. This should place them at ear height which is what you want to do. But, if you have...
