I'm a soon to be owner of a pair of these. I will pick these up in Longmont this weekend.
I currently have a set of Magnepans that the x-tatics are going to replace. I keep hearing of this mid bass slam every forum I go to and the maggies just dont do that as far as I know. I have always loved the open sound of the Maggies, and swore I would never go box again. However, the x-tatic seems to be a different breed than a normal box, and reviews I have read have been extremely positive. We are talking 90% home theater use.
I picked up 3 of the onix x-cs speakers on the av123 forums a couple months ago, for front and surround duty. I know I should have held out for an x-voce probably, but this is what I will have to work with for a year or so.
Sooo, will I be happy with the x-tatics? I'm sure I will but I dont get around like a lot of you people. Everything I do I have to literally do from the internet and take people's word for things.
How long of a break in period will these have to go through? Do I play them soft or loud to break them in?
I already know with the Maggies, about plenty of breathing room, and these are all downstair in the Man-Cave, where there is no such thing as WAF. That room is all mine and she doesnt care what I do except I get in trouble sometimes already with the mfw-15's late at night :rock:
Anyway, just asking for advice or a few tips from you egg-spurts out there in audio land. Thanks.
