So I took the plunge and bought the KEF X300A powered monitors unheard due to them being online order only. I purchased them based on reviews and other users' comments. These speakers are phenomenal. Honestly, I am hearing so much more that I never heard in my music and videos. For the cost of the KEF X300A, I wish these were available years ago and that I went the powered monitors route. My Ayre AX-7e, Proac Tablette Reference 8 Signature, Cambridge Audio DacMagic, and Arcam CD73T combined does not better the KEF X300A fed by regular PC or Mac.
