Any Living Voice OBX-R2 recommendations?


I'm hoping to set up an audition for these speakers in the near future. My room is 16x20, and my current source is the North Star M192 DAC.

I would say that 80% of my listening is rock (all sorts), jazz and blues. With the rest of the 20% making up anything from ambient to classical, etc.

Just wondering what people thought about them. Thanks

A rare combination of clarity and musicality. Hard to describe but they are simultaneously forgiving and at the same time able to convey alot of intimate detail. I have and reccomend the IBX's because I didn't want to mess with extra speaker wire (for which I reccomend Auditorium 23's). It seamed to me like alot of hassle and expense for a little gain. I have a similar size room and run them plenty loud with 20 watts. Another attribute of this speaker is that they haven't been too picky as to the amp they were maited with. Your Pass should be a good fit.

Is it a great rock speaker? I don't know. It's not going to move a tremendous amount of air. I would look at Klipsch and JBL for mostly rock. I will say that live jazz is outstanding. This speaker has alot "jump." Jazz on this speaker has an element of excitement that I have yet to hear on other speakers.
