you have made an excellent choice. i listened to the sound clips through my AV system (through bookshelf speakers), and the sound was almost magical. palpable. real. reach-out-and-touch real. a huge asset of your LSIMs is that they do human voice beautifully. human voice sounded like human voice. it would have been helpful to have included a FEMALE voice sound clip, but the voice clips that were included were outstanding. if a speaker does human voice well, it will do everything else well. nice job.

can you do a sound comparison between the old Polk RTi and the new LSIm707 ? Just curious. I am thinking of the 705 as my room is not as big( not as wide). I had Polk's when Matthew Polk was there, but their sound and quality went downhill. These LSIm series are the LSI completely redone from scratch. I think they sound good,but a little steep on price. I have found the LSim705 for $1500 a pair with warranry, brand new.

The RTi A9s have tight bass, but you have to plug the ports and put some good clean power (and source) to them. They should to be spiked into concrete floor (if possible, or maybe at least something massive to isolate them from making a wooden floor resonate). I have a 200 watts/ch B&K amp (400 watts @4ohms) and Ref 50 S2 hooked to them, with an ASUS STX ii Essence DAC (it made the real difference for the Polks) and it sounds really good with pretty much everything. It's not the same as my JC1s and Kef R900s, but I get zero listening fatigue and am still amazed after 1 year at how good the combo sounds. Before the DAC (and plugging the ports) I pretty much wrote the RTi A9s off as home theater speakers.

New here. Awesome looking room and great sounding too. I was a little bit disappointed by your audio rack though with such a nice looking room. Btw. My two channel system once consisted of Polk's LSi25 towers , and my theatre also had all LSi speakers. They served me quite well over the years. I traded up. Polk has always made good affordable speakers and this does not disappoint either. The first piece you played sounded the best, but I'm more of a jazz , blues, and classical person. Loved the Gregory Porter piece.

Better efficiency, able to handle more watts and has one extra speaker. I have the RTIA9's and power them with my Onkyo receiver 140watts per channel or in pure audio mode (2 front speaker only mode) 200watts each and they sound great. Bass is tight and my highs are crisp, clean and clear. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Great job on the sound quality. Cheers

I would like for the bass to be forward staged rather than bottom but it does sound good through my home computer speakers(Harman kardon). The video sounds good and powerful but also sounds like they could handle more. So after 2 years do you still have them and what's something you have discovered that you would do different. I like the way your room is setup and speaker placement looks to be spot on. How about another video after a good break in point. All of the songs sounded great but I really liked the first one better. Overall very informational and a great video so how about another one..Cheers

As long as you have an AVR with pre-outs on it, such as the A1000 series, you can just hook a high quality composite (RCA) cable from the output on the rear of the AVR to the input on the Emotiva (or other amp) In my case, I have 3 high quality composite cables going from the Yamaha to the Emotiva (One for Right, center and left) Just be careful to make sure you get an AVR and amp that use the same interconnect. Many Marrantz AVR's only output an XLR connection, which may or may not work with the amp you choose.

They'll work, but I don't think you'll get much volume from that amp through these speakers. And if you crank the amp up to max, you'll definitely start clipping and distorting (which is bad for the speakers) A more powerful amp gives you the headroom to listen loud, without approaching the distortion ceiling on your amp.

Just wanted to let you know your video is the reason why I am enjoying my lsim's today. You are correct they want power. They want more than they are listed to take. I have read all the mixed reviews online and I have come to the conclusion they are all due to lack of power. I am powering mine now with an ashly mfa 8000 which is 750 watts per channel and let me tell you.. They are completely different speakers. I cant imagine listening to them with anything less after finally hearing them with some high current. I know they say 250 watts but they come to play when you give them more.

@@uproardiy4355 lol that's the truth. I don't even turn mine up too loud, I just like the way they sound with more current. I acquired another pair of 707's for the rear channels, because I'm a crazy person, and I'm using my 705's for the side channels. Another thing I did that completely changed the 707's was add another Ashly MFA 8000. Each 707 is bridged to its own MFA. Each amp will do 750 watts into 8 ohms/channel. So each amp bridged is seeing about 4 ohms per channel which is about 1200 watts per channel. since each 707 is bridged to each MFA, the 707's are each seeing around 2400 watts peak. Of course I would never listen that loud but the sound has come out of its shell, I have never heard a pair of speakers create a phantom image like this ever in my life. I think there is a little unknown secret of the 707's and that is high current, as much as you can give them. I have played around with some pretty stellar speakers and there is no competition after giving each 707 its own amp. If you get the chance to add some monster amps to the 707's, don't be afraid of the numbers, the difference is night and day. Like I said I really don't listen to them too loud, yet they sound so much more in the room like the sound is not even coming from the speakers. The phantom image they are creating now is so real that I ditched my center channel. Btw I'm using a Cx-a5000 so our systems should sound pretty similar as far as prepro's and speakers go. Anyway I thought I would chime in with some of my latest Lsim findings. Hope the kids are well and I hope to see some new content from you soon!

You can here the sound reproduction with the head phone. Great balance of sound and clarity over all. That was a nice playlist to test your speakers.

Haven't heard the RF ii's... so I can't speak to them. In my area, we don't have anywhere I can go to audition high end Klipsch.

Do you still have the 707's? If so, how do you like them? I also, have the Rti A9's and looking to move to them.

Still loving the 707's.... I don't see myself upgrading for a looong time. You'll definitely hear a difference from the A9's in music. For movies/games, the RTi's were great. These are as good as the RTi's but not drastically different in games/movies. More bass and bit more mid-range clarity. If you have some good lossless music, the LSiMs really excel.

Just got the rtia9 about a month ago. Unfortunately I'm powering them with my old sony STRDH520, but they sound real good and totally kill my old klpsich icons. Now deciding between the MARANTZ SR8012 or the DENON AVR-X6400H.

both are overkill. If you care for atmos, get the cheapest reciever with all the features you'd like and preouts, and hook up a dedicated amp. That's the way to go. Only use your receiver for processing music.

'bout to order a set with the friends and family discount. Sounds good through my speakers. Do you use an EQ to shape your sound? Did you also purchase the LSiM surround speakers or only the front channel speaker? It's been a year now, so how do you feel about these speakers? Thanks for the demo. It helped.

I am running the front three speakers directly out of my AVR into my Emotiva.... no EQ. I did mess around with the parametric EQ in my Yamaha A1010, but I actually like the sound direct. These seem to be very neutral (which I like) Depending on the source, I sometimes will bump up the bass or lower the treble. 90% of the time I leave the EQ flat and enjoy. My surrounds are the FXI A4's (from the RTi Series) So they are a bit cheaper, but they are still bipole/dipole switchable. For surrounds, they are plenty loud and they blend fine with the LSiMs. I'm happy with my choice and saved a lot of money by not upgrading surrounds. Hope you like the speakers and glad the demo could help someone. After a year, I'm still really liking the speakers. They have cured my itch to constantly upgrade audio gear (at least for now)

Thanks. I am putting them through the paces now. I have the older FXi30 surrounds myself and they are doing fine with the LSiMs. Happy upgrade for me.

Funny you comment on EQ and the direct sound. I've been experimenting without the EQ (Behringer 31 band EQ) in the mix and I kind of like it direct, too, for both music and movies. I have the Mono 7 amp, but ran the LSiM 707 directly to the Behringer A500 (bridge mono for 600w) and what a difference without the EQ. It seems the EQ is actually taking away from the sound quality (It could be me). The problem is I just don't like not having any tone control - been using EQs forever for home and car audio. I am going to just not use an EQ for awhile to see how it goes. I have to admit, it sounds pretty damn good without it though. What didn't you like about the EQ affect?

Sorry... sold the A7's. I meant to get some recordings to do a side-by-side comparison, but they sold too fast. Plus... a newborn at the time made it difficult.
