DarkDrakonisSeems timing couldn't be any better, my old pc speakers just died! I have a pair of sound blaster roar 2 that I got from Massdrop and have been waiting for something like this to pop up. Can't wait for the drop!

DarkDrakonisJust picked up the X7 and I'm pretty blown away. Unreal clarity with the few audio tracks I've had time to listen to. Surpasses my expectations in so many ways. I can't wait to get more time to enjoy it, and learn all about everything it is capable of. I'm actually tempted to hook it up to my Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grands. Thank you!

BeyondMaxPowerHow in the name of C.W. Rice are you going to hook up the X7 to speaks that demand as much power as the Mozart Grands? In a word, eegah!

VarholiaglimpWith the LE, it's 100 Watts/channel at 4 ohm. I haven't as I have no need, but there's plenty of power. They're 88db/W sensitive, so I may actually use 2-3 Watts for normal listening.

BeyondMaxPowerOh. Oh, I see. The fact you bought the LE version of the X7 does make a difference. You hadn't mentioned that, hence my *eegah!* interjection.
You, sir, are being referred to here as you, sir.

VarholiaglimpI've been a hardcore home theater guy most of my life. Headphones are new, and a side project. Very important, as my life has changed, but music is always the goal. Find it how ever you will.

BeyondMaxPowerMy religion (we worship a small but fascinating piece of shrapnel) forbids me from larding my posts with ironic emojis, but I'm guessing you've inferred I'm not entirely serious, Sailor.
That arfed, enjoy your X7 LE! I've often thought of snatching one myself.
Question: Are you sure the X7 LE can handle 100 watts per channel? My understanding of the breakdown has been 50 watts per channel. From the Creative Labs site: "[The X7 LE] has a highly-powered and efficient Class-D digital amplifier TPA3116D2 [that] delivers up to 100W of power (2 x 50W @ 4 ohm *), allowing you to connect to passive bookshelf or tower speakers. "
At least one reviewer ("garfi3ld " at LANOC) has reported a max of 60 watts per channel. That anomalous foont seems to enjoy special specs.

VarholiaglimpYes you are correct, 50W/channel @ 4 ohm. In reality, plenty of power for my Mozart's. I haven't tried it because I spent $1300 on my AVR that is 4 ohm capable. I'm hosting a meet this Saturday and will get a change to hook up some speakers to the X7. Will be interesting for sure.
