Enjoyed your review Kevin! I have not heard the 2EX speakers, but I have the Towers W/RAAL and I think you are going to like them. Mid-range is just beautiful and I think you will find plenty of accurate and full representation in the lower end too. The RAAL tweeter.....Well, that is just magical - especially with respect to the music you are using to test the EX2's (which I did try on my Towers). I can listen to these speakers for hours and never get fatigued. Flying Home (live) by Stanley Jordan and Nature Boy (live) by Rene Marie are a couple of tracks that are quite impressive on these speakers.
