All in about £6100 at todays X-rates, yes quite a bit, but if they sound as good as others say then they could be absolute giant killers in terms of end game SQ, as long as the front end into it was of good quality.
But if all you have to add to that is a top notch front end (which you already have), it starts to look like a bit of a bargain (sort of) for what you then have. Shame that the LX521 needs so much space. Maybe the LX Mini's or Studios are the way to go, the Linkwitz blurb says they will work in even the tiniest of spaces. Quite a bit cheaper too.
If the owner of the set up I heard last weekend were to post on here about it (I only know his name was Gordon) I'm sure it would be of great interest to us. Where are you Gordon?
