I'm guessing some of the posters haven't calibrated to the point to smoothen out the curves which shows how good these speakers really are. I ran ARC Anthem room correction with these towers which I proudly confirm are my current drivers in my HT. I agree out of the box they need some reigning in, very bright highs. But beilieve me, after room correction these towers place you front row center and knock you down. I just listened to RUSH's YYZ and what an amazing experience. Drums just snap, synthesisors cross, vocals, the soundstage is wide. I also listened to Whitney Houston because she's vocally incredible as well as with her recordings, and the ribbon tweeters after calibration are so articulate that you actually hear the sound of he lips opening before she hits her desired octaves. These speakers are marred by some eqal or higher priced brand names. But honestly, if you come over and show me a better sound...it will cost you $10,000 more to prove what I'm experiencing. I'm running an Anthem MRX1120 with an ML 1600x Dynamo subwoofer. What a combination. Room is 2600 cubic foot. Clear concise natural sounding music thats sonic performance is measured slighy higher than a jet flying over your head at 300m. The 60XT's are sub par for the price, uhhh...yeah right.
