STRENGTHS:
The tweeter is a true breakthrough highs are excellent; as to the midrange the first thing my wife said was wow! These really do voices better than anything we have ever had. Also the space savings are near priceless
WEAKNESSES:
If anything in stalling and setup are a bit more complex. It takes a little guts and hard work to install and set up but the results are worth it.
REVIEW:
First let me say that I have been a fan of Polk speakers before and especially since my first Polk purchase of the LS90 some 15 years ago. The LS90's blew away my so called 'audiophile' or 'high end' Martin Logan sequel II's and everything I had owned to date by every measure. I sold the LS90's and replaced them with the LSi9's 2 years ago and bounce back and forth between a Velodyne and Polk 505 sub and it works well with both. BTW I just bought a set of LC60i's for the kitchen...
I installed the LC80i's in the living room on the top floor ceiling with an open attic above them. The cut out template worked perfectly with a key hole hand saw to cut the drywall. The LC80i's just simply put the music in the room. Imaging is excellent, space, effortless presentation, full frequency range well represented in all respects. They compare very well to my LSi9's and work well with a sub crossed over at a low freq. such as 80 or less.

STRENGTHS:
Sound clarity, size, ease of installation.
WEAKNESSES:
None really, serial number should be placed in the front inside so you don't have to take the speaker down to register it.
REVIEW:
These speakers sound good.
I was expecting speakers that would not sound good wihtout a subwoofer, I'm impressed.
Even without turning my sub on these sopeaker fill the whole room with sound, very clear too.

STRENGTHS:
The clarity of the highs is amazing and the bass response is, well, unbelieveable.
WEAKNESSES:
None found
REVIEW:
In three words, THESE THINGS ROCK! I purchased these about a year ago for my living room in our new house. My wife, God love her, didn't want any visable electronic equipment in this quite formal room, hence the in-ceiling speakers. The room itself has 20 ft ceilings. I was concerned that the height of the ceiling would render any stealth speakers marginal sounding at best. Wow, was I suprised when I turned them on! Not only do they sound great at background music levels, but will not distort if I crank up an old Boston or Heart CD! I strongly recommend these bad boys! Thanks Polk, you guys never disappoint!

REVIEW:
I do not know any "technical" jargon...BUT I can state that the richness, clarity and room filling ability of this speaker IS Spectacular! I have 10 of them in various rooms and it sounds like Carnegie Hall! No distortion low or high, just pure, clean great sound. Money well spent, I love it.

STRENGTHS:
Great detail and imaging for SACD's and DVD audio tracks. Excellent bass for in-ceiling speakers. Easy to install yourself.
WEAKNESSES:
None
REVIEW:
Excellent in-ceiling speaker. I used the DVD Underworld to demo for my brother in law. He kept looking behind the seating area, and finally asked where the back sub-woofer was. I told him there is no back sub, but the LC80i's in the ceiling have great bass. But, they also have a perfect tonal match to the rest of the LCi series - and the excellent detail, imaging and transparency that LCi's are known for.
