YOU HAVE THEM BOTH! HOOK THEM UP AND SEE WHICH ONE YOU LIKE BETTER. Why would you even ask....

The Linn Katans are nice speakers...one of my favorites...but VERY difficult to drive. Definitely listen to the Haydns. Can be boomy with impropper placement...but a very nice, smooth, non-fatiguing speaker. Polk LSi7 or LSi9. Some of the best upper range in any speaker less than $1,000...

I second contacting The Needle Doctor. They helped me in getting a replacement for a 30+ year old TT at a very reasonable price. (less than $50 - although they did point out that I could step up an spend more to get a better cartridge if I wanted to). I'm sure they could help you.

Robert, If you haven't purchased this set (or another one in its place) go ahead and buy it. I purchased this one to put in my living room (Mainly for cable and the occasional movie when the HT is being used). It is a very nice set - especially for the price. I'm using the set's speakers and a...

I had the same decision and went with the Dayton. I've never regretted my choice.

I believe that CC employees can order and get the Polk LSi line through their sales rep but CC does not carry the line.

I have that exact reciever and I am currently using a pair of Polk RT25is along with a set of Classic Large Advents on the B side and I am extremely pleased with the results. The Denon goes well with the Polk RT series. This speaker is hard to find now but Polk's next generation of this speaker...

Polk LSi9 Vienna Acoustics Haydn Linn Katan I can highly recommend any of the above. I have spent a bit of time with each of the three speakers and have listed them in order of preference. All three have a MSPR of around $1,000.

I can't speak for the Onkyo, but I have the Denon DRA-685. I've listened to various speakers with this receiver including Vienna Acoustics and Polk as well as vintage AR and Advents. I recommend it if you are looking for a reasonably priced and quite good stereo receiver as an alternative to...

POLK! If the RTi28s are anything like their predecessor RT25i they are a wonderful speaker - Yes for MUSIC too! - Stereophile thought so in a review HERE. The reviewer rates it one of the best sub $1,000 speakers he has tested. (No, Polk is not a big Stereophile advertiser) I have these mated...

My experience is that the NAD will do just fine. I'd rather have the 50 watts of high current that the NAD puts out than 100 of the Denon with the LSis. Don't get me wrong. I have owned both and currently own a Denon AVR and like it a lot so what I am saying is that the NAD is very good and will...

I've purchased several items from them. I started using them because they are an authorized Denon dealer and I was purchasing a Denon receiver. You have to negotiate to get the best price, but they will usually deal. Good service and everything has been delivered as promised.

Try to find and listen to the Polk LSi9s. They are an excellent speaker that can be had for less than $900. The first time I heard them I thought they were mated with a sub, but they weren't. I have also heard them with a REL sub and they sound even better. I also like the Vienna Acoustics...

Ken Swauger know his stuff - especially Polk speakers - I thought He gave a very good explanation being that the crossover is optimized for center channel information. The LSi9s are a 2½ way speaker with the crossover directing different info to the 2 drivers. I believe the LSiC crossover sends...

The 1082 and the 3802 are exactly the same receiver. The 3803 is the newest model.

I picked up a Panasonic RP-62S for $129 minus 10% for a total of $116. Had a $10 gift card from when I purchased Apollo 13 and Slapshot. $106 - not bad for a decent DVD player. Plus there is a coupon to get 5 free Blockbuster rentals - an all around good deal.

To each his own. I agree you should like what you hear. I have listend to all of what John Garcia mentioned above except for the Axioms and I still decided on Polks. Lots of folks don't consdider them because they are "MASS MARKET" speakers sold at places like Circuit City and Crutchfield. I...

He should consider the Vienna Acoustics Haydns. Some of the best low end on a small speaker I have heard. Very nice looking too. It does need good amplification and can be tricky to place or the bass will tend to get boomy. mated really well with a B&K amp. 6 ohm. MSRP around $1,000. While...

He is still involved but it has been spun off from Lucasfilms. HERE is the press release.

The LSi series comes as a dedicated pair with each speaker designated as left or right. The tweeter is always nearer to the center.

I really like the RTi series and currently use them in my HT system and SACD Multi channel setup. I will soon be setting up a dedicated 2 channel system and the LSi will be the speaker (most likely the LSi9 with a sub). If you have not heard the LSis go find a place to demo them. They are...

Those Polks are pretty good speakers for both HT and music. The one weak link is the sub and you are replacing it. The RTi line is very good for the money. I think based on my personal experience with Polk that you would have to spend quite a bit more to get much better. If you liked the Polks a...

No tax issues. Just make sure that you keep records of where the funds came from and what you used them for. This could only become an issue if you were ever audited and the IRS wanted to declare this as unreported income. If you have the records this will not be a problem

I loved the Haydns but the Polks are better... especially the LSi9. Check it out HERE Good Sounds did a review of the LSi7 LSi7 Soundstage did the LSi9 onhifi did a review of the LSi15 The Absolute Sound did a review of the 15 and 9

I'll just cut and paste it here. B&Ws vs...... There are obviously differing point of views here about B&W speakers. Some say they are great all around...some say they are good for this and not so good for something else. etc... Recently I went out to do some auditioning for a small...

I would love to hear the Dynaudio Audience 42 but I can't find a dealer anywhere in a 300 mile radius of here.

Linn Katan, PSB Stratus Mini, Polk LSi7 or LSi9. All are very good with the Haydn being my #2 choice. 1st choice is the LSi9. I've found it from an authorized dealer for $750 a pair and it is a great speaker for that price! (or for Crutchfield's price of $899.99). I have just recently demoed 5...

I have this sub also and the only time it bottomed out was on the opening scene of Atlantis. I have since tweeked it a little and have it sounding pretty good with no more problems. For those of you who used the poly. Did you remove the foam before filling with the poly (or did you ever put the...
