They have also been reported to generally need a very large room in order to avoid bass overload. Though, this could be alleviated with some high-quality equalization. But in that case, might as well just get a smaller model, unless one wants all of its other attributes.

      We all need to get back a bit of " masculine energy" Zuck is absolutely right. I still remember Polish audio Mag staff shaking their heads that a supposedly " rockers speakers " had so much relative neutrality.

        The XLS-215 towers earned a good review from Absolute Sound several years ago. But the 12" or 15" single woofer models would be my choice for medium-sized rooms because the 215 might overload rooms much smaller than 200 sq. feet.....

        How do you have two 15" woofers and only go down to 38Hz?

        A-1800 amplifier, B-36 Bass bin, sold both in working order. I had the Vega L187 18" 4ohm driver in my acoustic Control 361 rebuilt nine years ago. I think that damn thing or Lee Michaels' live organ or both are responsible for my tinnitus.
