Product Description

New high definition audio formats such as Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio demand a new level of performance from today's loudspeakers. The Polk Audio LSi15 Tower Speaker is the ultimate expression of Polk Audio's mission to provide the highest quality audio products at a reasonable price.

Listen to the LSi loudspeakers with SACD and DVD-Audio sources to reveal their higher accuracy and resolution, with more dynamic response and superb focus.

The LSi Series from Polk Audio is the new standard in affordable loudspeakers for serious listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it!, February 20, 2010

This review is from: Polk Audio LSi15 Left Channel Tower Speaker (Single, Cherry) (Electronics)
This is Polk Audio's top end line, but this is a serious case of getting what you paid for. The audio reproduction these speakers are capable of, at the price level, is simply fantastic. I replaced a set of Polk RTI8s with right/left channel Lsi 15s, and top to bottom, there is simply no comparison. I have them set up in a 5.1 channel arrangement, with the LsiC as the center, and two RTIA4s at the surround channels. Denon 4308CI used as a processor to a outlaw 7125 amp driving the speakers, with the l/r channels passively bi-amped using the 6th and 7th channels on the outlaw. The positives:

1. Full range response such that I no longer need to use a sub-woofer to supplement to bottom end on 2-channel listening.

2. Incredibly detailed sound that brings out elements within music that were previously undetectable.

3. Smooth top end that you wouldn't associate with Polks, which are often described as either "clear" or "harsh" depending on your point of... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Holds its own, May 4, 2009
This review is from: Polk Audio LSi15 Left Channel Tower Speaker (Single, Cherry) (Electronics)
I have recently bought a left and right channel of these LSi 15s and I paired them with my Martin Logan Aeon i speakers. The LSi 15s hold there own with the Martin Logans, which cost 3 times as much. The MLs are a little more transparent and have a crisper high end, but not by much. When you play the LSi 15s you are listening to one of the best speaker bargains on the market today. Well made and designed. They are a beautiful speaker as well. When you listen to the MLs and the LSi 15s at the same time the sound is awesome and they complement each other very well. I know it sounds hard to believe but it's true. Speaker placement is critical for both speakers. If you follow the manufactures recommendations placement is fairly easy. You should have a fairly powerful amp at least 90 watts to really get the most from them. The only negative about the LSi 15s is the spikes and feet. This is a minor concern.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous look, engrossing sound, July 7, 2012

This review is from: Polk Audio LSi15 Left Channel Tower Speaker (Single, Cherry) (Electronics)
No picture I've seen online does justice to this speaker. Aside from Sonus Faber (any of them), this is the most beautiful speaker I've seen (I've seen many, ranging from $80 to $100,000). I stare at mine even when the TV/stereo is off. They are a thing of beauty. As far sound quality, paired with powerful amp that can handle 4 ohm, these LSi15s will easily compete with speakers costing three or four times as much. As for amps, I recommend NAIM (if you can afford them), Ayre, Rotel, Adcom, Parasound; if you want to stay below $1,000, check out the Emotiva XPA-2 (with a pre). You should hurry, though. The LSi series has been replaced by the LSiM series and is becoming very hard to get a hold of.
