Product Review (submitted on November 20, 2015):

I have something great to add to my earlier review: I loaned my XLBPs to my daughter, who is taking her first steps towards something better than TV speakers. It turns out that the layout of her apartment dictates a corner placement for the TV, and the room has seating on the 2 walls furthest from that corner. She is using the XLBPs as 2.0 main speakers. It turns out that they can be placed so that one plane of each speaker can be pointed pretty much directly at each of the primary seating areas, and as a result, they fill the room beautifully without having to crank up the volume. I've never lived with a corner placement situation, but it seems to me that the design of the XLBPs are very well suited to both their intended use, and also for solving a nontraditional, but probably common, placement for main speakers. And, speaking as someone who appreciates both design and sound quality, these speakers really come through on both counts. They're a fantastic value.
