Comparison Living Voice IBX-R2 to OBX-R2?


How do Living Voice internal cross-over speakers (IBX-R2 & IBX-RW) compare to their OBX models? I'm not in the position to audition them and was hoping someone who has could comment. The Living Voice website indicates there is a subtle difference in favor of the OBX models.

Well I used to own them many years ago and paired them with some Border patrol amps. I found the speaker required a LOT more power than their specs would indicate to come alive. The other concern was using the outboard crossover. It took 2 sets of bi-wire cable and using Kondo SPz the cable cost was more than the speaker! Lastly, they did not fill my large listening room with sound, might have worked better in a smaller room.
