    ORB audio to replace Polk LSiFX / what do you think?

    I have been extremely happy w/ the LSiFX's as my surrounds. But now due to some room renovations they are just too big. My walls are only 6' 8" high so mounting them is out of the question. Presently I have them on 30" stands which I really can't use either. I need something small for wall mounting. The surrounds are only used for TV & movie playback. I don't listen to multi-channel music at all so maybe even the Polk's are overkill. I have a SVS 25-31PLUS sub for the bottom end. They have a 30 day home trial so I just might give them a try to hear how they compare to the Polk's. Any other small speaker choices I should consider? If I do like the ORB's or another brand, the LSiFX's will be up for sale. What would be a fair selling price? They are approx. 1 yr old & in mint condition. Thanks

    This strikes me as trading in a new Mustang GT for a new Civic, because you want to save $75 a month on gas.

    In other words, not something I would do.

    YMMV

      OK, now my dilemma. I'm a newbie, so please be gentle and go easy on the jargon! I'm currently running a 2 channel set-up incorporating a pair of Polk LSi9s with a Rotel RA-1062 integrated and Rotel...

      1075, Polk LSi, Sony ES?
      by infinitiqx4
      What do you think of this 5.1 setup?
      Rotel 1075
      Polk LSi15, LSiCenter, LSIFX (all 4 ohm)
      Sony DA4ES

      Another option could be HK 520 instead of the ES receiver. I haven't seen much talk about Sony around here, but the ES line allows you to turn off internal amps when...

      I need help convincing me.... 804's vs Polk LS70!!!
      by turbokuo
      Wow, after 5 weeks of research and going to 3 different audio stores I had my heart set on N804 (used) and then I came home, popped in Nora Jones, plugged in my Polk LS70's, (9 years old but less than 30 hours of use, $1,100 a pair floor speakers) and gave them a good listen and guess what they sound...
