Re: Steven Stone again

Are those outboard passive crossovers? Are those Clarisys as well, or a different brand?

I’m a huge fan of the KEF LSX speakers. I have used them in my kitchen and computer desk and they are easy to use and very impressive sound-wise. Cool finishes as well. Two thumbs up for sure!
