"The Living Voice OBX-R ($7000) was a very pleasant surprise. At first flush an unassuming medium-sized floorstander, the OBX-R produced amazing bass and dynamics that would be the envy of many much larger speakers. Designer Kevin Scott claims that mounting the crossover outside the speaker in a hefty box is largely responsible for the OBX-R's slam and coherence. A costly Scanspeak Revelator tweeter provides the silky top end. This is a speaker well worth going out of one's way to hear." Stereophile, April 2002
