When I try and do a search there are tons of different models to choose from and I was mostly interested in the 15" models to look out for?
Apparently this guy doesn't like them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrtpyCMsiC8
Optimus Pro LX5 ...5 1/4" woofer though.
* Just mate them with an SVS sub. ...Or the Hsu Research VTF-15H

I don't like them. I'm going to sell mine. They sound too tinny for me and their Linaeum tweeters really aren't magical like they claim to be. And yes, I did run them through a proper receiver/amp. They have depth, but not as wide of a soundstage, which is strange considering you'd think it would be the other way around. I could live with the bipole tweeters, but the deal killer is the woofer. Not the size....the sound of it.
Well maybe it's the pairing of the woofer with the metal box. It just sounds....tinny. I have a sub, so I don't care that it is a 5 1/4". I just couldn't get to like it even for a few days of listening to it.
I'd compare it to two plates of spaghetti. One plate has a proper mix of beef and tangy sauce. The other has a blander taste of sauce (like more water added). No matter how much you eat, it still doesn't have a saturated tangy goodness. The slight "boxy" sound was ruining the sound for me.
Definitely a sick individual. Probably owns electrophonic quad equipment.Apparently this guy doesn't like them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrtpyCMsiC8

Man I feel like I've left something out...hmmmm.
1. Block the port(s) with 'stereofoam'.
2. Mate them with a good sub (as I already said).
3. Position them properly and on solid stands.

* You can always get a pair of Paradigm Studio monitors. ...With a sub of course.
...........{The enclosure is made of die-cast, not metal.}.........
Is die-cast a material? I always thought die-casting was something you did to a material, usually a metal.
