Fink- Trouble's what you're in: Bass line is much more satisfying compared to the M106.
Bjork- Hollow (16 bit remix): you still need subs for the first 1 min of this, but still impressive for a bookshelf.
There is more detail and energy in the treble but not in any offensive way I've noticed so far. The bass improvement is easy, I'll need more time to flesh out the midrange differences.
Ran them in pure direct mode off my Denon 3800h to an Emotiva BasX 3, source is tidal through a Wiim Pro Plus.
Edit: it's day two and I've ran Audyessy and set the crossover to 60hz. My two favorite aspects of the LX now compared to the Revels is the improved imaging and that they just have a sound presence of a larger speaker despite being very similar in size.
