X-LS now come with grilles, and the X-SLS...

Sean posted some pics up on HTF a while back, so I thought I'd throw them up here too:

X-LS grille prototype:

New tower version, the X-SLS (coming soon)

I really like the looks of those with the grilles!

I like the fact that they gave the speaker a different look than most.

Can't wait until the towers are out and we get some graphs and opinions (pro and consumer).

Yes, a fresh look to them. Simple and very nice looking. Definitely waiting to see the specs for the towers and the larger bookshelf.

Ditto. For that price point, the sls's are very intriguing... great looks, successful lineage, and truly full range (25hz or lower extension) to boot!

those SLS are spec'd to hit 25Hz? how can that be? are you thinking, perhaps, of the powered towers in the same line that they're apparently working on?

regardless, those are mighty pretty speakers for such a ridiculously small amount of money. i'm planning on upgrading to small towers in October or November, and my budget is tentatively capped at $1000. i'd be very curious to see if these can match up with slightly more upscale offerings from Quad, Energy and the like.

The X-sls will hit a -3db down in the mid 40's. It is the taller version of the X-ls in a more optimal ported enclosure. They are only $299. a pair.

The MTM version with the powered side firing woofer is the model that will hit -3db's in the mid 20's.

300 a pair!

man, i might have to buy some of these as well....
