@Helomech, dynamics are the more appropriate adjective. There was some mid range and high range loss, but anything below -35DB on the Yamaha receiver (150 watt @8ohm) (which again, is a $1,999msrp receiver), had a LOT of dynamic loss.
Then when paired with the Rotel Receiver (100watt @8ohm), the dynamics were more apparent at lower volumes. As the Receiver measures its volume in DB, the Rotel does not (0-100). Around 30, the Rotel receiver brought out more dynamics, and mid ranges that sounded lost with the Yamaha, at what was a much lower volume.
I'm pretty new to this, but overall after doing some DB sensitivity research and other things, it's pretty safe to say that Polk LSIM707s definitely aren't the most responsive towers on the market.
However, @Charles1dad, I think I'm gonna give a tube amp with them a shot. Seeing as how I'm new, the experimentation would be fun =).
@Charles1dad, what tube amp would you recommend in or under the $1000 range? I don't mind buying used audio equipment on Ebay. I do however live in Oklahoma and needless to say....there isn't a whole lot of after market trading here.
