When using the LX as a center situated in the upper shelf of an AV stand (with an enclosed back), is it recommended to use the sealed plug?
I agree with Nate, although if the shelf is deep enough (e.g. there's space between back of speaker and rear of shelf equal to or greater than the port diameter) the plug may not be necessary.

There are a lot of variables to this. If you are running the LX center full range, than yes - using the sealed plug can be advantageous. If you are running the speakers with a sub and crossed at 60Hz or higher, typically no plug is needed as the bass is already rolling off. For most receivers or processors, even if you are not using a subwoofer, you can still use the left/right running full range and set a high pass filter for the LX center.
many different options, always best to experiment and go with whatever sounds best to you
I'm using a pair of LX's as my desktop computer speakers. I'm looking to free up some space and I was wondering if the LX's could be positioned on their sides without degrading the sound too much?
If so, should the tweeters be positioned towards the outside or inside?
Thanks!
Is this 96dB figure specific to the LX power recommendations? Or is that for all Ascend speakers listed on the website?
Could this tidbit be added to the website's spec/power recommendations for each speaker? That would add some clarity for the less informed, like myself.
Thanks for reading
