Ok Joe, you let us know. :audiophile:
Oh, can you take some measurements too. That's very important on the accuracy.
Stereophile should review them. For forty grands they look like robot toys.
But they should measure well, and easy to do from anywhere in the measuring room.
They remind me of the $85,000/pair B&O Beolab 90, but those Lexicon are much much much uglier ... looking like a speaker phone from Apple or Amazon or Huawei "Alexa" type that you put anywhere in the living room where there are no walls and that you can talk to for tuning the AM/HAM radio and raise the volume by remote controlled voice instead of a hand wand.
IMO they look terribly ugly and I wouldn't get a ten-yard stick near them.
I thought Munich High End Audio Show was a serious town for Audiophiles.
Ok, this is Friday night and I'm mixing fun humor with a bit of straight truth.
I have no clue how those terrible looking Lexicon (Harman luxury's Division) $40,000/pair of speakers sound like in real life, zero. But if their looks are an indicator might as well put them by the swimming pool (inside, under water).

They look like disco lava lamps.

For forty grands thank you very much. And they truly are ugly. Plus what the financial markets analysts predict about tomorrow's speakers has nothing to do with bright people, but only with money investors.
Those speakers look like Alexa Google's speakers for background music while showering.
...Or taking a sauna. ...Or in the whirlpool. ...
Harman/Lexicon can do better than that. ...In my honest humble opinion.

they supersized the alexa radio. an ugly mbl? I would be interested in how they sound and they wouldn't be the ugliest speakers i've owned, that said I don't happen to have $40k laying around to check them out.
