In a direct comparison with a pair of Yamaha NS-1000Ms, the E-IX actually sound more fulsome according to @RustyB and a whole lot more coherent. It is the reason I invested in Troels Gravesen's upgrade crossovers for the Yamahas, which I in progress. It is just not right that a 12" three way can be usurped by a tiny tot of a loudspeaker such as the E-IXs.It's amazing how much bass comes out of these little boxes, and the quality is very clean as well. The integration between the large tweeters and the potent mid drivers creates a sense of completeness that soothes any desire for a gut punch woofer. I probably spend more time enjoying my IXs than listening to my big system.
