How about bookshelf speakers for under $1000

Not sure if I've heard that specific model, but I've heard tons of Polk speakers @ CC. I've never been impressed. Also, not a huge fan of MTM design either.

What they sell at CC is not of the caliber as the LSi series. I've owned the LSi 7s and that tweeter is amazing. I bought the speakers second-hand for about $300, a bargain, IMO. They don't compare to others I've heard since, but my taste has gotten a lot more expensive (much to my pocketbook's chagrin). Once you hear speakers in the $2K range and above, there is definitely a difference from the CC & BB stuff. The LSi series, while not gian killers, are certainly a stand-out.

What gets me about Polk is that a lot of his older stuff was so amazing
compared to his new, more generic stuff.
Sad what has happened to his gear.

I guess I haven't heard the particular model. Is that a pair of modified Vifa XT25 tweeter?

Yep they have Vifa ring tweeters ( I believe once used in a much more expensive Krell speaker), but couldn't tell you the model . Maybe Nightflier will
