I don't how it sounds, you'll need to ask the two short guys in the picture.

That setup looks terrific. I'm sure it sounds as good.

It seems the new norm is to have subs with the big wilsons - seeing lots of setups with subs.

Need help! Can't stop drooling!
Love the contrast in size of the Dan D'Agostino Momentum monoblocks in relation to the Boulder 2050 monoblocks and the XLF's. The Momentums seem so itsy-bitsy when sitting beside the XLF's! As much as I truly love my Sashas, the XLF's inhabit an entirely different dimension - as in jaw-dropping! Philip |

Seems everybody wants subs these days. With one piece systems it remains difficult to completely optimize for imaging (midrange/treble) and deep bass. In the past subs were a real drawback because they were significantly inferior to main speakers and also the crossovers. This statemant is much less true today. Incidentally does everybody know that the Wilson Controller sums R/L channels to mono. It's impossible to run stereo through a WC. Both music outputs are mono. Seems to be a real difference in opinion between Wilson and JL Audio unless I don't understand. It's difficult to imagine how anyone could desire subs with the XLF. I mean those are the most incredible speakers I've ever seen. Are there subs in the pic? I also note the rear port is in play. Can anyone explain why you get more bass out of a rear port rather than a front firing port?

I don't think it's about getting "more bass"...it's about getting better (or proper) bass. Providing alternatives for the porting simply helps in managing speaker/room interactions, I believe.

I certainly could be missinformed but a general rule for lean rooms the rear port is recommended. For bass heavy rooms, the front port, for average rooms, personal taste or toss up. My question is what is it theortically about the rear port that makes the speaker less lean. I obviously understand very little about ports. Dave Wilson says that the Alexandria 2 can in some rooms sound slighty lean because of the front firing port
