Yes, that was a complimentary article! However, there are a couple of points I disgree with. First that the PSB M2s look better than the XLs. I think the XLs look waaaay better. Also, I am really glad that a highly resolving etched top end was traded for smoothness. It always makes me laugh when people comment about how their speakers are so transparent that the vast majority of recordings sound harsh. While I am the first to agree that a large number of recordings are mixed for car systems and boom boxes, ultimately if the majority sound awful, it defeats the purpose. I would rather have the bulk of my recordings listenable! Also did you guys notice that Doug Schneider recommends placement with the tweeters towards the inside edge, different from what the manual states?
Boy, these are good speakers!
