Anyone have experience with RE XXX comps?

[Huey P. Freeman]

I saw them on Woofersetc for 299.99. Last time I was on their site(about a year ago) they were 599.99. Are they a good set? Based on specs it seems like they would have strong midrange/midbass. How are the tweets? Thanks for any info.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

they are a pretty good set however the problem that most people have is the mounting depth of the speakers

be aware as they are not the same style XXX with the XBL^2. they are a different newer model.

Thanks. That is good info to know. How has the motor change effected the sound if at all?

I'm pretty sure the ones they are selling are the older XBL^2 ones as all dealers are now receiving the newer set with the split coil motor on the mid.

Split Coil is an alternative to XBL^2 that is designed to achieve more throw and improve BL linearity (lower distortion). I imagine you would be quite satisfied if you got a pair, but I'm quite sure the ones being cleared out at WoofersEtc are the XBL^2 ones (not that there's necessarily anything wrong with those either).

That's what I get for not looking.

I stand corrected. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
