STRENGTHS:
What more can I say? great product, great value!
WEAKNESSES:
The LC80FX is not linked from Polk's LSi web pages... It is lost on their site unless you know what you are looking for... Were it not for this oversight, this speaker would be much more widely known... Fix your pages Polk!
REVIEW:
The LC80-FX in ceiling surround speakers allowed me to complete the transition from LSI-15 based audiophile stereo sound to full 5.1 LSI audiophile surround. Surround is fantastic, with a seamless transition from the fronts, center, and surrounds. The voice matching is superb, making this set-up a joy to listen to (or should I say experience?).
Powering with Denon AV-2808 with 7 channels at 110 watts per channel with the rear channels reassigned to bi-amp the LSi-15 fronts. It works so well we want to watch movies every night!
Thanks to Polk Audio for producing the LSi-LCi series!

STRENGTHS:
Compatable with other 4 ohm 88db speakers in the Polk line. (LSI series).Fairly high wattage capacity. Only dipole speakers with two tweeters in this size speaker.
WEAKNESSES:
Fairly high power requirements into a 4 ohm load. Not really a weakness but amp needs to be sized accordingly.
REVIEW:
First of all I was very reluctan to buy these. No issues with Polk as I am running the LSI series on the fronts. I was reluctant because their are no reviews on this product and it is not shown as a recommended speaker in Polks surround channel sytems on their web site. Well, fears are gone. These speakers a outstanding. I looked at Polks smaller speakers was glad I went with the large ones. At least in my system I have to run the rears and sides +4 to +6db and thses peakers are capable of doing that. Great sound that fills the area as opposed to isolating the sound to the speaker. Am running LSI sides and center with two of Polks dual 10" subs stacked on top of each other. Amp is Mcintosh rated at 200 watts into 4 ohms. For those that are interested, at fairly high volume levels the Mcintosh meters are reading less than 20w. At very high levels it will push on up but a good quality 100w into 4 ohm amp may do the trick.
