Polk Audio LSi7 bookshelf speakers are a 2-way, ported design with a 5.25-inch aerated polypropylene woofer and a 1-inch ring-radiator tweeter. They use a 4-ohm nominal impedance, 88 dB sensitivity, and a recommended amplifier power range of 20 to 150 watts, with a frequency response of 53 Hz to 26 kHz (-3 dB). The cabinet uses MDF construction with real wood side panels in ebony or cherry finishes, and the speakers include dual binding posts for bi-amping/bi-wiring.
