Pros & Cons
Pros
These guys are brute force and won't shy away from metallica. The sound is not as refined as in kefs but you will not notice it unless you are a true audiophile.
The sheer size of the speakers is what allows them to have such detail and oomph at the same time. The only flaw i could even throw out is that i have an old house and they wobble on the four feet.
Bass is very nice and tight unlike muddy sub-woofer's bass. If it's real bass you want, these speakers are a great start, but you need to get a subwoofer.
Make sure you have the amp to push these with a 500-600 watt requirement. My system is a yamaha s-701 which is 100 watts per channel.
This review is for xls-12. I hope this helps.

Shipping
Updated review out of the blue ups today delivered the second speaker that had been marked lost stolen in transit

Clearly ups arent capable of handling goods in a safe manner
Packaging/appearance
The box was all banged up and once i got the speaker out it too was all banged up
Good thing they are packed extremely well
Unpacked they come up to my 54 girlfriends under arms
Competitiveness
I had my doubts at first i owned 15000 pair of speakers with 150watts each and i designed a high end amplifier indicated in the... Read More
