I know these are not flagship but why deseign a 4 mid/woofer 2 way that is known to make it garbage when the cheaper model with 2 mid/woofer should have much better performance if all things are equal.Polk can make great speakers. Keep in mind the LSiM was their previous flagship line and is discontinued.
The Reserve is NOT their flagship line.
I believe Klipsch has the same 4 mid/woofer set up but at least they build a 2.5 way in there speakers.
When klipsh "RP" series speakers stomp on Polks that's saying something, IMO, I have heard all the RP and I'm not a fan but at least they work better than this.
If this speaker was made a 2.5 way it would probably improve?
