I know some here are not impressed with the Neolith , But i heard this speaker awhile back and thought it the best Logan i have ever heard, not the bright typical threadbare Logan sound , i usually find annoying.

System amplification were the Devialet 400/400 mono's , which did run into clipping issues , but sounding well balanced when not. Dispersion was very good for a ML, enough so , you could choose multiple seating for listening , best was off center at least 14 ft from speaker, too close made it phasey,
( reflections, time smearing) but good dispersion and balance and had enough bass/sub settings to fit most if not all applications, not sure now if SAM was being used.

The Rear firing woofer does make location from rear wall a big deal, surprised ML did not go down firing , but there are other advantages to being rear firing ..

Is there anyone here that has lived with this speaker for any length of time in their own home?

If so I would to hear from you and what your impressions are. I love the CLX but I have never seen or heard from anyone that has lived with the Neolith in their own system.

I've only heard a few ML's, the CLS, CLS II's and my SL3's. I don't exactly recall the sound of the CLS and CLS II's as that was nearly 20 years ago when I heard them, but the one thing I do remember about them was their openness and immediacy. I can safely say that my SL3's are nowhere near being bright sounding at all and also retain that openness and immediacy.
 
I haven't the slightest idea about how they sound. But I am sure they figure in the "Top Ten" of the ugliest loudspeakers in the world (arggg...!).

Only Fugly in the morning ... :)

Based on what i have heard in and around the Neolith price range they are very competitive...
