Great point RJJD3.
The 50 watt rating for the speakers just means they can safely handle 50 watts without causing mechanical damage to the speaker.
The 15 watt rating for ...
hmm, I don't thing I would know "sexier" sound if I heard it, but Linkwitz has some evidence that suggests omnidirectional speakers are less sensitive to room placement and room modes than traditio...
Looks interesting.
Usability might be a bit better if they made the input selector knob on the left smaller than the volume knob on the right. If you own it, it probably isn't a proble...
Toeing the speakers in and placing them on the long axis would help with stereo imaging. Speakers are generally designed to be listened to on axis. If they aren't toed in your treble is rolling off...

The k171s and k271s are both pretty easy to power since I believe they are both 65 ohms. The k171s are smaller than the k271s.
