ok so i am buying speakers on a tight budget for mostly music listening, all types of music (rock, rap, classical, alternative, reggae, etc), and although the onix x-mtm's are nice they are about 540 with shipping which is a little too much for me right now. I'm thinkin about gettin a pair of the x-cs's which are essentially the same speaker as the mtms without the floorstanding enclosure or else a pair of x-sls's or boston acoustics VR1's. any opinions? I want to make a purchase in the next couple days... I've accepted that I'm not going to be able to audition because i have no means of transportation right now for going and significant distance, so I'm trusting your opinions and plenty of reviews.

thanks guys, any help is greatly appreciated.

Dan
