Polk Audio LSi15 Right Channel Tower Speaker (Single, Ebony) Reviews
| 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful  Wow... I guess I didn't know good sounding speakers, By KD (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Polk Audio LSi15 Right Channel Tower Speaker (Single, Ebony) (Electronics) Count me in to the group that believe the differences between high and low end speakers to be minimal. Boy am I wrong. I moved up from a set of Energy C-5 speakers that I thought were good but was very harsh sounding when I turn up the volume. Those were supposed to be efficient 8 ohm speakers. I was also told that these speakers are inefficient power hungry speakers that may not sound very good without an external amplifier.Well, like they say, seeing, or in this case hearing is believing. At least for myself, I broke one myth but reinforced another. 1. Myth one: You will need external amplifiers to drive 4 ohm speakers. False. I pushed these with an Onkyo 808 135 watts at 8ohms, 180 at 4 ohms? There was absolutely no clipping at ear blistering level. No harshness whatsoever from these speakers that I heard from the C-5. At high volume, the C-5 gave me a headache. However, these were still extremely smooth. These speakers are 89db efficiency at 1 watt, so if I...

Just wanted the bestspeakers I could get for under $2000 and he came up with these. I bought them primarily for music but do have the matching center channel and use them for home theater also. Be forewarned, you need a kick-butt receiver or amp to drive these - low impedance. I use an RX series Yamaha with a claimed 140 watts per channel and it's marginal at high volume. If a receiver doesn't have a low impedance setting, I wouldn't consider using it. My receiver, set at nominal 8 ohms, sounded crappy; no bass. At low impedance / high current / the speakers came alive to the point where I don't even use my subwoofer anymore. Speaker placement is not as critical as with some speakers as long as you don't stuff them into a corner. My greatroom is 30 ft wide X 38 ft deep and I have them 4 ft from the sides and 2.5 ft speaker front to rear wall; dispersion and stereo effect are...
