I heard a pair of Montana XPs over the weekend for the first time. They work hooked to a Bryston 4B, ARC transport, Perp Tech P-1a/3a and a preamp I can't recall. I was listening to modern jazz and overall the sound was big and flowing, but not as big as I would have expected. Soundstage was focused and acceptably deep, but not as wide as I would have liked. Also, there was a bit of grain that made it a bit difficult to listen to during spirited passages, but overall the music was enjoyable. I list all the components because this was my first exposure to Montana speakers and I don't know which piece[s] I'd attribute the graininess to. Physically very big too.
