    What kind of power do they require to sing?

    I heard them on 35 watts? of tube power and they did well.

    In anticipation of your next question, yes they even do Cannibal Corpse pretty well.

    How about BoxCar Willy?? Or Zamphir,master of the pan flute??

    I bet they like to make jokes like "Slide those bananas gently into the BoX."

    I'm guessing I haven't been around here long enough to get the reference?

    I’ve been wanting a purple Harley touring model, but they rarely come up FS. When they do, it’s usually a Shriner. I digress . . .

    My Christmas present, which I will explain shortly...
    hlmoei1ehykj.jpg

    Martin Logan LX16s!

    So it started about a week and a half ago. My dad had a pair of Eosone RSF 600 towers downstairs. They are great speakers, but in the only place mom would let him put them, they sounded quite bad. Dad wanted to upgrade, but that wasn't really an option. After a couple of years with them, Mom was tired of looking at them, so she told dad to get out his Boston bookshelf speakers to put in the entertainment center.

    The entertainment center downstairs is white, so the black Boston bookshelves didn't look very nice either. So mom and dad called me downstairs and offered me a trade; The Boston bookies, the Eosones, and $150 for my KEF Q150s. After a bit of thinking, I decided yes, with the intention of trying one of the other pairs of speakers I had looked at. And worst-case scenario, I would not like the other speakers, in which case I could return them and get the newer walnut finish Q150s That weren't available when I bought mine.

    After digging up the other models I had liked back in January, I noticed that the LX16s were on sale for $400 a pair. Now these (or the Dali Oberon 3s) Were the speakers I would have bought had my budget been bigger at the time. I decided it was a deal I couldn't pass up. After some more negotiation with the parental units, these became my early Christmas present from them AND to myself. ;)

    They arrived this morning, and WOW, they sound good out of the box! Easily as good as the KEFs did fully broken in. Even in the 5 hours I've owned them, I've noticed marked improvements, especially in the midrange clarity. The KEFs were no slouches but these are one (or two) notches above them.

    I'm looking forward to spending more time with them, and hearing as they open up. More thoughts to come, probably in a separate thread. :)

    I’m finally healthy again and back on track. That means my room is finally put back together. I’m hoping these beauties will have a new forever home by the end of the year.
    Simply stunning!

    I mean I'm not particularly unhappy with my current speakers. But I'd be MORE happy with some Fiesoles. And EVEN MORE happy with the Sienas, lol.
