I ordered everything in the Cherry Satin finish, and all I can say is beautiful. After lugging the giant boxes into my house, and unpacking everything, I was astonished by the beautiful finish. Honestly guys, if you're looking for a speaker truely different than your typical black, look no further for a value speaker that looks as good as this one. Aesthetics were extremely important and these definitely fit the budget.

I have not hooked these up, so I have no clue how they perform yet. Just wanted to give my initial impressions. Hopefully everything sounds as good as it looks!!

A little polish and a real soft cloth, and you can just lovingly caress them. Just be sure to pull your pants up when you hear you Mom walking down the hall toward your room.

Thanks douche. As my other threads say I just haven't had time to hook everything up.






For the other posters, I'll be sure to get a review of everything once I have everything hooked up and I'll be sure to post pictures. Thanks!!

I guess you missed it, there's been a new AV123 thread here every day, each one more unbelievable than the last, with all kinds of clueless people posting thinking they were helping AV123 when all they were doing is keeping the threads ragging on AV123 at the top of the forum. D'oh! It's like, the only way they would get a clue is if there was a 10% gift card discount and a six month wait, or something. Then they'd buy a whole bunch.

And then somebody would post "I haven't read this whole thread but I know that ... " then they'd say something that the President of the company had already given a different answer to. OK, so great you posted that, pal!

I didn't realize this was for real, I guess you missed the trend and just bad luck to post on April 1 after all the dumba55 threads about AV123. Enjoy the speakers man!!!!

1) I'm in an apartment building, so the MFW with the MTMs might upset the neighbors.
2) The depth of the center channel, I'm not sure it'll fit with my tv where it would have to be.

Once you've had enough time to have a good impression on the sound, would you mind commenting on the bass sound as it is now without the MFW; and post some pictures of the setup?


Oh, and I hope you continue to enjoy it as much as your first impressions.

I am looking for 3 front speakers for the bedroom system, and saw the review of the x-ls and x-cs in the July 2007 issue of Home Theater. It has photos of the White Shadow Maple which we really like, and we both love the double oval grills.

So I went to the web-site all set to order these, and it turns out that:

- both of these are discontinued and replaced by the encore versions,
- which no longer has the White Shadow Maple finish, but something called Moho Satin at an additional cost, which looks different,
- the double oval grills are no longer offered,
- and the price of the x-ls has jumped from $219 (as listed in the magazine) to $349 for the Moho, an increase of 60%,
- the x-cs has jumped from $139 to $249, an increase of 79%.

There is also shipping on top of it. I think I am going to go Axiom. For example their VP100 v2 center chanel is $250, the same price as the x-cs, but it has free shipping, and being in Canada, I won't have to worry about customs.

Now I just have to convince my wife, who had her mind set on the photos in that magazine.
