I love the sound quality of them. One of the best Speakers I've owned. I'm a collector and have listened to numerous Speakers. These are one of my favorites. Great bass for their size, and detailed. If you listen to hip hop or rap, you might want a sub. Otherwise they have great bass on their own. Running them with 150 watts per channel, and they take it just fine.

I purchased the Polk LSi9 for my office. I initially connected it to my Pioneer SX-1250 Receiver, Dual 1229 turntable with ortofon X, and Denon DCD 670 CD player. I played a variety of music from Jazz, Dance, Country, Electronica, Hip Hop, to Rock. The sound was full with great clarity and tone. The bass was solid and natural within my 15' x 15' office space. The sound can be heard all around and is not tiring, when you submit to this satisfying experience. I appreciate the great depth and range of these desktop speakers, when compared to others within its class. When playing jazz, I enjoyed the natural highs and solid lows from the LSi9, when compared to the Klipsch RB-81 where the highs are a bit harsh. I think that when I take them home, and play them in my large listening room equipped with audiophile equipment, I will be instantly blown away.Read full review
I purchase a pair of LSi9 bookself speakers to complete my surround sound system. A pair of LSi25 floorstanding speaker, a LSiC center channel, 2 polk subs and a pair of LS50 vintage speaker which I still love. The LSi9s are brand new and require a break in period. If they sound as good as the other LS series, I will be 100% satified. With the new upgradeing of AVR receivers changing from 5.1 to 9.1 surround, I am having a little problem decideing placement. The LSi9 will most likely will end up in the front high positions. The only thing I would suggest before buying LSi9 speakers is to consider that they are 4 ohms speakers and require a little more power to drive them. I am using EMOTIVA ampifiers at 200 watts per channel. I hope that POLK AUDIO will continue to carry vintage speaker parts. At one time owning polk audio was like owning a HARLEY cause you could always get parts. Will post update after breakin period.Read full review
I can state that the Mid woofer and tweeter are very accurate and transparent. I own the LSI 25 and LSI 15 along with the LSI9 which has the same drivers. Just wanted to point out that mgbdeader was incorrect at stating that they require twice the power to run them. Since the Ohms are 4 ohms and not 8 ohms, it takes less power to make them sound as loud. Less resistance equals less power to run. They have a very nice amount of bass for their size due to porting.

these are entry level audiophile speakers. as they are 4 ohm(use basically twice the power of 8 ohm speakers) your amp should be at least 200 watts per channel. you will need stands for these speakers to bring the treble to ear level. found the speakers sound best 8 feet apart from each other. extremely accurate with good imaging. if used strictly for music a sub is not needed but for HT I would recommend one. great speakers so make sure your amp is high quality as are your connections(i.e. cd player,speakers, etc) great speakers! as standalone speakers or part of a surround sound system you will be satisfied.
