Danny, I've now experienced 4 different speakers which you have had a hand (if I am not mistaken) in producing, three of which I personally own now.
First one, the X-Voce center channel. Simply the best production center channel I've owned to date. Smooth sound with little localizability and very natural sounding.
Second one, your hand in the X-Statics. I, along with my brother and our good friend, hooked them up at my choral conductor's home and we were simply amazed by the sound. This REALLY made me understand the craze of open baffles.
Third one, your A/V-1RS. Never had I imagined how good these speakers would be compared to all of the other dedicated surround speakers I've used in the past (AV123 RSS300, Axiom QS4's, Polk Bi/Dipolar speakers, etc). When you stated your opinion on how those "multipolar" speakers were somewhat gimmicky, I was somewhat hesitant to believe so, but once I listened to the A/V-1RS, I am now a firm believer. These surrounds are so full and big sounding and disappear so well. Bravo.
And the final one and the final piece of home theater speakers. Your beloved LS-9's. AV123 sent my pair and I picked them up from the yellow terminal yesterday. After spending a ton of time getting them unboxed and into place I only spent about an hour listening to them before I had to shut the system off. All I really can say, without embarrassing myself by stating things you already know about these speakers, is my search for main speakers is finally over. THANK YOU for all that you've done to make these things as amazing as they are. Yes, I still have a long time to go before they are properly broken in, but they already do SO MUCH absolutely right.
