I recently had one of my Blue Sky Sat 6.5's give out on me so I took a recording that I know very well to Guitar Center. Listening to my song in their room the LSR305 translated the best so I bought some. Out of the box they need some play time to let the tweeter settle but they sound good. Less low mid forward compared to the Blue Sky but I always felt the Blue Sky were too forward in this area. The LSR are less open and detailed than the Sat 6.5 in the high frequency but have a much wider sweet spot. The lows on the LSR are fairly extended but I have a Blue Sky sub 12 which has a built in crossover for the Sat speaker so I plugged the ports on the LSR with acoustic foam and the frequency from both blends very well. I dropped the high frequency trim to -2db and it balance the sound nicely. I also have a pair of Sonodyne SM50AK that are ok but have a strange blur in the midrange, the LSR305 are clearer. For the price I don't see how the 305's can be beat.
