I realized I haven't posted my CDX/XPS thoughts. So here they are....
Unfortunately, I've had considerable ear problems lately and haven't been able to listen to it a lot. Without the XPS, the CDX is maybe a bit harsh, but still fun. The XPS makes it more musical and more detailed at the same time. It brings more emotion forth.
However, it's not true "Hi-FI" (like, say, the Meridian G08 is). The sound isn't analog like, it's meant to take some liberties to make the sound entertaining (more bass, more forward, etc.). So it depends on if you like those liberties or not.
I think I'd like the Meridian for non rock and the CDX/XPS for harder rock and metal. I'd have to listen to both more extensively to be sure though.
