Polk's LSi series is its flagship speaker system. Being 4 ohm, it behooves one to ensure that the speakers are driven by a powerful receiver or consider separates (amp and Pre/Pro).

The center channel shares the same acoustical qualities as that of its companion speakers: smooth (if understated) and defined. The Ring Radiator tweeter is the centerpiece for these speakers, which utilize internal crossovers to ensure the best possible sound reproduction. Note that it is because of this crossover that one might mistakenly believe that one of the drivers may not be operating: check your receivers set-up and ensure that the center channel is set for "Large".

The LSi series is a very attractive piano gloss black and its connectors and cabinet are rock solid. The rear of the speaker features slots for wall-mounting although the speaker will set about 2" off the wall due to its vented port.

The sound? That's a very personal matter. Anyone considering a significant purchase like this should take the time to listen to the speakers for themselves. I am very happy with mine.

Great build quality and visual appeal. It matches our LSi25 and LSiFX system very well. Music sounds good, but dialog on movies doesn't hold up in my opinion. It can sound muffled or boxy.

It's getting 300 watts, is aimed at the listening position, and has been tried with audyssey, direct, and boosting the level to no avail.

I paired this with LSi7 bookshelf speakers and in-walls, and couldn't be more happy with the sound quality. Everybody is wow'ed with the sound. Strong and crisp which is what I have come to expect with Polk. My only minor complaint is that the center finish is only available piano black and the matching bookshelves are ebony wood. I would have like to see the center match as the ebony is much nicer looking.

The sound out of the speaker is great. This one match the LSi series the best. I got an excellent deal and worth the price.

I've owned several bose and polk audio center channel speakers and have previewed many at different retailers and can only say that this has to be the BEST center channel speaker I have come across.

I have an HK receiver and have been able to produce superior sound at a fraction of the volume setting.

The bass is especially full for this speaker. You should definitely demo the product prior to purchase (if possible).

For me this is a 5 star product and exceeded my expectations!! Good luck with yours!

I tested 3 LSIC speakers, the left speaker of the LSIC not work. Most of the dialogue is from the right speaker of the LSIC.

I did my research online, and at Polk Audio official forum, ppl said that the design of LSIC is like this.

It's really weired.

As a center speaker, suppose the 2 speakers ( right and left ) are balanced.

I have no idea.
