Description: This POLK LSi9 is in good to excellent condition and still carries the legendary deep bass [ some say boom ] that was unheard of for most bookshelf speakers in its day! Selling the one single unit shown, which is LEFT oriented of the famous left -or - right side teaming of this series when it was released. The sturdy, reinforced enclosure is in very good cosmetic condition, with minor signs of normal usage for its age, but in no way any type of hindrance to the original LSi9 sonic soundstage. The off-axis radiator tweeter placed in between the mid-woofers was an esthetic feature that many enjoyed displaying without the grille for its famous look. LOOKS CAN'T BE BEAT and that is why I've owned several LSi9 units, pairs and/or single, over the years. As for the sound that this speaker produces, you can research the facts of the history of these showing average to above average results, with some allowing for modification of the crossovers or what have you. Ideally, as a single standalone, I have used this before as an excellent center channel. Although this limits the bass and higher potential of this "legend" it still comes off as impressive. [ As a historical / evolutionary speaker tale, one might compare the LSi9 to be an "infant" baby version of its now fully "grown" adult Polk LEGEND L600 floor standing tower, a speaker that basically took many things that Polk used quite well over the years, including Vifa-type ring radiator tweeters and power-port cabinet technology, and perfected it to the best degree possible, some economic compromising notwithstanding, as some may claim. So one might make this "baby vs adult" comparison---but I won't] Anyway, note the clean looks, classic style and still-enhancing cherry finish. The previous owner[s] even nicely added a set of Nachamichi jumper cable connectors. I would keep this excellent speaker for myself, but I would have to invest in another set of speaker stands, better suited for this heavier, more durable bookshelf. If its not to be used on a stand, check out the dimensions to make sure that it will fit into the shelf or specific enclosure should you desire to use as a center-voice delivery in a HT sound configuration. Sale includes speaker, grille and jumper set, nothing else. Thanks for checking this out!
