    You sure type like one too hehe! I am 16 and almost 17 in 2 months woot!

    Anyways, I don't think in most cases Watt and Peak means jack.

    Look into the Athena B1.2 line, I think those are like the most common I've seen for a pair of bookshelves on a budget.

    Hola little runt,
    Just to give you an idea, they hang in there with the Polk LSi-7's... in fact, I'd go so far as to say they out the 7's except resolution.

    Are you opposed to buying used? Or are you only wanting something new?

    Sure Bear - because you've actually heard them side by side, haven't you?


    has anyone heard these X-LS's? it says they are not available yet?

    Zero, genuinly curious if you have heard these yet.


    ****duh, I missed the prototype comment :rolleyes: ******


    did you side by side the proto with the 7. curious if they outperform them side by side, or just going with extensive experience to make the call
