i would think that a blanket statement here would be a mistake. on this combination, room size and listening tastes would be big varibles in apparent performance.
in a small room with an emphasis on intimate accoustical type music i would think that this combo could be 'incredible'.....as David writes.
in a big space, on 'big music', this combo would be exposed as dynamically limited and lacking the ability to 'energise' the room.
typically X-1's are in fairly large rooms. and in my experience X-1's will improve as they are fed more and more current. so while the 2 pairs of ML2's would be engaging.....the X-1's would be restricted in their ultimate abilities. if a person can financially consider 2 pairs of ML2's, there are other speaker or amp combos that might work better than this particular one for large spaces.
