I was having difficulty deciding between the XLS-12's or the XLS-15's. Without being able to hear them prior to purchasing, the price of them at zZounds made up my mind. I couldn't pass up the price on the 12's! I went with the blemished ones which were brand new, unused, but the original boxes were thrashed and the grilles had a dent...big whoop. The price was excellent! Now for the sound of theses things; HOLY FRIGGIN COW!!! These are absolutely amazing sound quality! These topped off my XLS theater as they were the last piece. I already had the 6" center and the 15" sub, but was using some very old fronts from my teenage years. They were 15" 3-way Jensen's from the late 80's. They sounded great back in the day and actually still sound good but didn't have the clarity I was looking for in a theater setup. Having the 15's prior is why I was having difficulty deciding which to buy. These XLS-12's are CRYSTAL clear, will rattle anything off the walls and hit so hard that that that you would think a car ran into the side of your house! They definitely need to be amplified to get the true potential, but even off a 90W per ch. reciever, they were still astounding! Now they are amped at 150W RMS, which according to CV is still a little shy, but unless they are in an enormous room or a club, it is more than enough to make earth shattering sound and just amazing clarity! One downfall to boosting the watts to them was I had to amplify my center channel as well, but now the read more center channel sounds even better than it did before. The center is the XLS-6C. Honestly, with these 12's, I don't even NEED the 15" XLS sub, but man what a sound!!!
