I would agree in some ways. I have Revel F226Bes in a different setup, and while they're obviously very different speakers, the LXs have a similar voicing / tone to the Revels, particularly in the higher frequencies. The Be tweeter and waveguide offer similar directivity and frequency response to the LX's custom SEAS tweeter, and in my opinion they sound very similar. I'm not at all confident that I'd be able to pick out which was which in a blind test. The Revels have the advantage of being 3-way, and they sound smoother across the midrange. The LX's, despite being down a woofer and living in a smaller cabinet, output quite a bit more bass, and have deeper extension. Obviously the LXs give up sensitivity to get there, but with decent amplification, this should be largely moot.
Both are capable of more power handling than I would ever need. I did manage to find the mechanical limits of the LXs' woofers, but that was while playing Tool's Chocolate Chip Trip in full range at volumes well above what I'd ever sit back and listen to even at my loudest (over 95dB continuous at the MLP). The moment I engaged the subs/crossover, they went back to sounding extremely clean with no signs of straining. While they may not be everyone's ideal bookshelf speaker, they are undoubtedly an incredible bargain.
