Do the new Live X speakers blow the SXA version away? Has anyone heard both and would like to comment. I have a grip of the sxa that I have been happy with but the pricing on the live X is pretty decent. might have to switch gears here.

Ben,

Blown away is a strong term. I was impressed by the ELX112P for its price point. The voicing is safe and easy on the ears, and the build quality pretty good coming from China. I liked the ELX115P a little less than its smaller cousin, though the extra LF would be usually be welcome. I thought they did a pretty good job of getting them to sound similar.

I generally have a soft spot for EV products, and X-array has always treated me well. The ELX112P will be my go to product moving forward for low end powered products. It is quite capable for what it is.
