(More customer reviews)I use the Polk LSiFX as my rear sourrounds in bipol mode. They sound amazing they are made with high grade materials and the piano black finish looks great. One thing to pay attation to is the size, they are HUGE sourround speakers and weigh in at 24 lbs so if you plan on using speaker stands you will need ones rated to withstand 24lbs or higher. I placed mine on opposite sides left speaker is on the right and right speaker is on the left. to me it sounds better but also my living room limits me on how I can place the speakers. One thing of note not a problem for me but it might be for others. I ordered the LSiFX from metroplex trading company and they are not an authorized dealer so the speakers did not come with the serial numbers on them. Which means that Polk audio will not honor the warranty because of that. Again not a problem for me because I got the speakers for about $200 to $300 less than what you would pay. So just a heads up if you buy polk speakers from metroplex trading company you may get speakers with no serial numbers on them. The speakers they sell are polk speakers and they come factory sealed but just with no serial numbers. Not sure if this is the case with all polk speakers sold my them but I called polk audio and they said metroplex is not an authorized dealer. A few more things to note are that the speakers are 4 ohms rated nominal not a problem if you have a good receiver but if you are using an older receiver you may need to get an amp to power the sourrounds. Note: if you use an amp and a receiver you need to make sure that the receiver has pre-outs I know its common knowledge but I didn't know that till I did some research. I have a SONY STR-4400ES and that receiver is rated at 4-16 ohms I have had no problems with overheating or the receiver going into protection mode. I have L/C/R speakers rated at 8ohms and no problems. One last thing polk audio is comming out with a new top of the line speaker family its going to be called LSi M they are going to come out sometime in 2011 to me they look ugly compared to the old LSi family of speakers. anyways when they come out you may have a chance to shach-up some old LSi speakers for much less than retail you may even find them at sub $500 for the towers. I know that the new LSi M will retail for a lot but when they come out I will be looking for the old LSi 25 towers. Just a heads up because when the old inventory runs out thats it.
