I heard the Spatial Audio X2s at AXPONA and was very impressed. However, I'd give the edge to another great horn-enabled OB speaker- the Pure Audio Project Trio15 Horn1, it even costs a little bit less.
As far as other great options in the range:
The Revel F228bes are incredible, the Revel room at AXPONA was one of the best, and it was a dead-simple chain - Auralic G2, Mark Levinson 585 Integrated, F228bes and they sounded better than rooms that cost several times as much.
The new Martin Logans with built-in ARC to better integrate their woofers are also amazing. The Martin Logan Expression 13A had potentially the best imaging at the show.
If you don't have to spend all that money the Salk Song3As really impressed me with a (relatively) inexpensive set of Schitt gear. Simply amazing sound. The combination of a RAAL ribbon, Accuton ceramic midrange, and a Satori woofer really works and Salk's speaker cabinets are finished beautifully.
