    Default Suurounds for LSI15 and LSIC

    Besides the LSiF/X speakers for surrounds, are there other speakers that would match my front speakers?

    Thanks....

    Maybe some LSi 9' or 7's? Timbre match isn't as important with your surrounds as your front 3, but those are in the same family. Don't be afraid to look outside the tree for the surrounds though.

    Default In ceiling speakers

    The product product page for the LSi's reference the LC line of in wall/ceiling.

    I have the LC80's and they sound nice.

    I actually went with Emotiva ERD's. They seem to match extremely well with my LSI25's and LSic.

    I used to have the LSi7 for surrounds, but later upgraded to the LSi15. Made a tremendously positive improvement. Also, I upgraded the LSiC to a PSB Synchrony One Center, and it was another tremendous improvement.

    Right now I'm demoing the OWM-5's with LSI's, as a front speaker they are a complete mismatch for the LSI's but seem to sound ok as a surrround speaker.

    The LSi7's work fine for me. (although if my room was a different configuration, I would have gone with LSiFx's....)

    I generally agree, but I will also add that I was surprised at the improvement in sound when I went from FXiA4 to LSi7 for surround. Makes a bigger difference with multi-channel music, but as Jeff said, for surround it doesn't matter as much.
