Polk LSi-15 TO Energy CF-70

[ematthews]

Looking to add to my collection of speakers. I don't want to replace just get something different to play with. The only thing I don't like about the Polk's is they lack bottom end and are not the best for loud rock music. MID'S and Highs are great
Anybody have thoughts on how the Energy CF-70 would differ from the Polk's?

I can pick them up for 600 a pair

1) CF-70 are sale now - $400/pr
Newegg.com - Energy CF-70 3-way Floorstanding Speaker Each
2) There are very few Polk speakers which I heard and liked, LSi happens to be in this very short list.
3) I have not heard CF-70, but they have very solid reviews
4) I'd like to suggest an alternative within your budget - Ascend CMT340 SE

Now I am not so sure on the Energy..Looks like I may wast some money.

What is a great tower speaker for loud progressive rock music...
Budget is no more than 700

Have you considered adding a sub if it is the bass you feel is missing - this will be common issue with any speaker in this price range

I do have a sub. It's a Martin Logan Grotto..

For $600, you can probably do better than the CF-70... besides, you should be able to get them a good bit cheaper than that (EDIT: BoredSysAdmin beat me to it).

I just bought some new Infinity 363's from FRY.COM
124 each.. What a deal....Even if they are not that great, I need some speakers in the garage
