Do you mind going into details when comparing between the X-LS and the Insignia's? I am thinking of getting some Insignia's for my basement and some X-LS for my main set up.

But even though the two speakers were not in the same system, it was clear that the X-LS had the advantage, in many areas top to botom. You can try the AV123.COM web site, and dig through their forums for better opinions. Another option, if you can find it used, would be a Sound Dyanamics RTS-3 bookshelf. My pair just found new life driven by a 50-watt Gainclone amp; they sound a heck of a lot better than they should; The Absolute sound was right in their praise of these.... But they're tougher to find sicne they're discontinued. Parts are still available (I replaced tweeters recently since my son had pushed the domes in some time ago). |
