My Polk's are old school and built in the USA. Two RT500i's CS300i and FX500i bipole, dipole surrounds. They BOOM! I was gonna upgrade and my friend who is a Polk dealer for 40 years said to keep what I have. Said they are just not made well now in China. Cheaper parts. I'm more than pleased with what I own.
Absolutely love this video! The setup is exactly what I’m planning to put together. Your music too is absolutely choice and has widened my albums to choose from. Thank you my friend!
F-ing awesome sound. Wow! Again, love the music. I must say one of the best sound- playback I've heard on TH-cam, and one of my most favorite piece of music too. Referring to the Stevie ray Vaughan piece.👍🏽
4:10....linda demais! Que espetáculo de caixas. Bela lista também. Você deve estar muito feliz, por equipamentos de tão boa qualidade. Muito bom o seu vídeo, com essas fantásticas caixas.
I almost went with the 703s since I already have dual subs. Decided on the 707s since the sale was so good. Glad you like them. I may pick some up for my living room setup.
Nice catch.... this was one of the first things I had to fix after I made this video. I built 8 large sound absorbing boxes and hung them all around the room. This deadened the reflections and helped reduce some of the vibrations.
How do you like them for home theater with movies? I'm looking to upgrade from my klipsch rp 280. They were great for a small room but at higher volume in a large room they are a little harsh
Have you had any issues with the grills on the 707s coming off? I've read some reviews that the magnets don't hold it up well enough, have you had any experience with it? Thanks for the video! About to pickup a Lsi set so doing my due diligence now.
Too bad no one stocks these for auditioning near me (Milw/Chi). I have a set of RTi12's that I like but would love to listen to a set of these. The 12's move an amazing amount of air and sometimes I crank the crap out of them (300wats per side) but the square boxes are ugly as hell. I'm guessing the 707's would be more musical but I'm concerned about the power handling and if they could put out the SPL of the 12's. You've got a good selection to demo your speakers with and the quality actually comes across well in your video. My favorite for loud and clean is the Yellowjackets 'Four Corners' album. Try the cuts 'Out of Town' and 'Postcards'. Turn it up and find out how good your system is.
I loved the A7's... they were great speakers. Fantastic for movies and TV shows. They are good for music, but not quite as refined as the LSiM's. I guess it depends on the style of music you listen to.
It is the 706c... I do not have it bi-amped, but it is bi-wired to the same amp with the bridge removed.... I know people say this does nothing, but it does essentially double the thickness of the speaker cable since I have 2 separate runs (one going to the woofers, one going to the tweeters) The 706c does have pretty impressive bass, but I have it cutoff at 60hz. It can go lower, but it doesn't need to and it sounds great.
I owned the a7's and I really enjoyed them. Fantastic for movies and TV. They were good for music but not quite as revealing as the LSiM's. I'm no audiophile, but the LSiM's sound like they are farther away and the music just blends better across the sound-stage. The RTi's were much more "in your face" sound and it was easy to pinpoint the origin of each sound. I might add, the RTi's had decent bass, but really needed a sub. The LSiM's do not need a sub for music IMO.
UproarDIY is correct about the A'9's. I owned a pair and would classify them as bright sounding, would highly recommend pairing them with a "warm" sounding receiver such as Marantz. They really play super loud with almost no distortion.
Wow... So much bass!! That's impressive! How are you going to incorporate your subwoofer if it's already so much bass??? Do you recommend not running subwoofer at all when listening to music? If you used subwoofer for music, is it gonna be way too much bass????
Receiver = Yamaha A1010 (soon to be upgraded to A2060) This powers my surrounds Amp = Emotiva XPA (gen3 - 200w/channel @8 ohms) This powers my front left, right and center Check out my other videos if you want to see the equipment.
This is a great demo! Many uploaders who unbox their speakers say its useless to record the sounds but honestly its not! Love this, thumbs up

Now This Is How You Make A Music Demo Of A Stereo System...Damn 🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💯
Wow. Excellent presentation. Now I have to hear these speakers in person. Thank you
Wow this sounds so good! Im sure its even better in real life!
Absolutely love this video! The setup is exactly what I’m planning to put together. Your music too is absolutely choice and has widened my albums to choose from. Thank you my friend!
Excellent Music choice for these amazing speakers. Really like your setup.
I would love to hear these in person. They sound quite impressive being played over my Focals.
wow, after listen your speakers, i have to buy them. Thanks for the demo
You're welcome, they sound better in person! If you get a chance to demo them, I would recommend doing so!
F-ing awesome sound. Wow! Again, love the music. I must say one of the best sound- playback I've heard on TH-cam, and one of my most favorite piece of music too. Referring to the Stevie ray Vaughan piece.👍🏽
Thanks! I plan on uploading some new demos soon with a few improvements I've made to the room.
I agree. This is perhaps the best music demo of any speaker on youtube i have ever heard.
@UproarDIY - You’re welcome.😊👍🏾
Amazing bass! That “kiss” port waveguide is ingenious.
Going to get a pair of these soon , amazing detail !
Thank you. Nice set up, recording and great music!
Thanks for the comment.
It would seem life has prevented you from posting new content. Hope all is well and that you revisit this channel soon. Really enjoy your content.
That is with the subwoofers OFF? Wow, they have marvelous, thick and meaty low end!
4:10....linda demais! Que espetáculo de caixas. Bela lista também.
Você deve estar muito feliz, por equipamentos de tão boa qualidade.
Muito bom o seu vídeo, com essas fantásticas caixas.
Is your center channel on or is this just the towers?
just got a pair of the 703 bookshelves. they sound great.
I almost went with the 703s since I already have dual subs. Decided on the 707s since the sale was so good. Glad you like them. I may pick some up for my living room setup.
Great review! I might have to jump on board with these 707s. What would be the price for the center and towers. Thanks!
the sound quality is very good but I have the impression that sometimes the room is banging , it is in no way acoustic adapted
Nice catch.... this was one of the first things I had to fix after I made this video. I built 8 large sound absorbing boxes and hung them all around the room. This deadened the reflections and helped reduce some of the vibrations.
I heard some people say that the 707 is mostly very bassy the sound is not balance what is your experience great video
Amazing
Hi there,
Fantastic sound!!!
What sorrounds do you have oh and subs?
Thanks in advance
How do you like them for home theater with movies? I'm looking to upgrade from my klipsch rp 280. They were great for a small room but at higher volume in a large room they are a little harsh

No problems at all. I normally leave my covers off, but when I do put them on, they are solid. The magnets on my speakers are very strong

What is the difference between LSim 705 and 707?
Holy smokes do they sound good (headphones on).
what do you think movie performance 706c??
COOL！ I am interesting in polkaudio speakers! How do you feel RTI A7 is ok for listening music ? Thanks !!
I loved the A7's... they were great speakers. Fantastic for movies and TV shows. They are good for music, but not quite as refined as the LSiM's. I guess it depends on the style of music you listen to.
UproarDIY thanks mate !!
amazing sound, the subwoofer is running? thanks
During the demo I had turned off the subs so I could dial in and demo the towers
@@uproardiy4355 thanks for your information
Hey have you bi-amped your center Polk? is it the 704 or 706
It is the 706c... I do not have it bi-amped, but it is bi-wired to the same amp with the bridge removed.... I know people say this does nothing, but it does essentially double the thickness of the speaker cable since I have 2 separate runs (one going to the woofers, one going to the tweeters) The 706c does have pretty impressive bass, but I have it cutoff at 60hz. It can go lower, but it doesn't need to and it sounds great.
I'm looking at RTI A9 buget wise. what you guys think of those speakers ?
I owned the a7's and I really enjoyed them. Fantastic for movies and TV. They were good for music but not quite as revealing as the LSiM's. I'm no audiophile, but the LSiM's sound like they are farther away and the music just blends better across the sound-stage.

Check out my other videos if you want to see the equipment.
Do you bi-amp the 707 or 706c?
When are people going to learn... thru youtube audio is restricted and you'll never get the correct impression of the device being demonstrated
