what gives richer sound xl7s or xlbp? thank you

Richer sound is a personal attribute defined by the listener. The settings of user's amplifier (equalizer levels), volume, room acoustics and the sensitivity of the listeners ear to specific frequencies etc., all contribute to the definition of the term "richer sound". What one person thinks is richer may not apply to another. In general, if you like bass response and consider that an important ingredient, larger speaker diameter tends to reproduce better sound at the low end of the spectrum because they attenuates those frequencies less. The XLBP speakers are intended for mid-range sound and not for the best bass frequency reproduction. Richer sound is a personal attribute defined by the listener.

I have personally not heard the xl7s but if you look at the specs on the website the speakers are the same size, material and frequency response so I would wager they sound the same. The xlbp gives you twice the speakers for your money (I believe there's a half price sale going on right now too). As far as the sound I love my bipolar speakers. They don't quite have the soundstage or transparency to be used as fronts but as surrounds they are perfect. Hope this helps!

Hi Ana, I have them both and the XL7s have the richer sound in my opinion. The XLBP have great sound, I use 2 pairs for my side surround and rear surrounds. They sound great together with an equal tonal balance. Hope that helps. Charlie

I prefer EVs. I think the quality is better and the range of the speakers. I use 2 15 and no sub for my events. My sound goes crazy.

Hi mateI had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

I own the RB-61 II, which are not the same, but still have the Klipsch sound signature that so many consider extremely bright and fatiguing. What I have noticed is that they are way too bright with very bad sources. For example, bad 128kbps mp3s. With FLAC, CDs or DD and DTS soundtracks they are just magnificent. Every time I listen to music I am familiar with, a smile appears on my face. They simply sound awesome.

I plan to keep mine, but for the money, it is DEFINITELY worth considering the Behringer X32. Besides a multitude of other features (including 2x as many channels), 8 DCAs, flying Faders, and an amazing colored LCD scribble strip are things you won't find on the 16.4.2. And no, I am not paid by Behringer to say that!

I agree that no XLR out is odd but I just patched around that. Not sure about the 1086 comparison. Never used one. I bought it for narration purposes and its gating capabilities so limiting is something I add in post production. For the money, it's a bargain. If you want to spend some bucks though, Aphex Channel Master is much more versatile. Hope that helps.

I'm using a nice 'Monoprice' XLR set of cables. Not cheap to me . About $45. a cable for 10' . Very flexible with top grade plug-in's . They work perfect in my book . Reason ! I have top tier HP's and i hardly ever use them cause the Stealths are so musical . Hope this helps

From trying both out, MA900 has less bass, but still punchy when needed. I'm not a fan of heavy bass and found MA900 bass more to my likings. MA900 doesn't stand out in terms of treble, but it's there and gets the job done. I can listen to MA900 for hours if I wanted to. I'd say X1 is great too, in terms of performance, I'd say both are about neck and neck with different sound signature. If you want less bass with mellow treble, I'd go with the MA900 for sure. More comfy too, in my opinion.

The base on their other system (5.1) seems stronger but sometimes drowns out the speaking parts. The lifestyle system is calibrated better so all sound is much better between the bass and treble parts. There is still plenty of base and you can change it on the menu if you want more.

you can try xlr - (1/4" or TRS) cable but adding phantom power i don't think will do anything to improve quality with XLR-TRS, now if you had XLR - XLR you get a cleaner sound with phantom power but if you don't care about noise your first choice may work in some cases but i've had the sound drop out all together using XLR-TRS.

Hi, before answer your question I prepared my system and now running it (this time change the usual Emotiva DAC and the Magni amplifier for an Audio GD, very good sound too, by the way) and the sound is clear, defined and extremely well balanced as always with the T70p, really one of my reference headphones. I tried three Hotel songs, just to enjoy the test, the Eagles, Chris Isaak a Katie Melua, all sound outstanding. Beyer have very good warranty and support, must be a fault unit, rare, but happens. Happy Holidays. Leo

I own both and the A7 sounds much better and much more volume audiophile quality.

Yes, I have compared the two. I returned the Fluance SX6's, and kept the Pioneer BS22's. The Fluance's were very dynamic, and sounded great playing trance or other electronic music, but the Pioneers have a warmer mellower sound that I really like for the long haul.

i am using monitor audio bx2. it sounds ok, but i returned them. I said them because the first one come with one channel no soundthe second one became one channel no sound after few days use.

Easiest way to tell the difference is to go to Fluance website and check. Basically 5" driver in XLBP and 4" in AVPB2. XLBP handles more power

I had the 700Xs before these, if you like the sound of the 700xs you will love the sound of these. I find that the noise supression on these much better than the 700s. Since I work in cubeville... it is great to be able to listen to music at whatever level I like without my neighbor knowing I am listening at all.
