Polk LSiM703 The New Bookshelf for Serious Listening (Mahogany)

These speakers replaced LSi 9's in my computer room which is a small 11x11 room with 12' ceilings. System consists of a NAD 116 Preamp, Grant Fidelity B-283 Tube Buffer, Carver TFM-55 amp, Rotel RCD-1072 CD player, Pro-ject Debut iii Turntable, and a Squeezebox. I was a big fan of my LSi 9's, but they are no match for the 703's. I honestly have to say that they do everything better than the 9's, including looking better when they are not even turned on. I have the midnight mahogany finish and it matches very well with the other furniture in my room. These speakers are top-notch from the time you open the box as even the packaging is first rate. They are a beautiful, well-made, high-end looking speaker. I love the magnetic grill which is a simple, nice touch. Out of the box these speakers sound fantastic, but they do get even better with a little break in. I'm happy to read in a previous review that they really open up after about 80 hours because I'm at about 40 hours right no and I think they are phenomenal. If you are in the market for a pair of speakers in this price range, I highly recommend you give them a listen. They may not be for you, but you should at least hear them to decide.

I had a set of these for 3 days to demo and was blown away by the sound. My full review is available in the Polk Forums (the link's at the top of the page). Just look under "Speakers" for "[Review] LSiM 703 Review". It's completely worth your while to find the thread and read it.
