I've been reading this thread for a while now, and frankly I'd expect nothing less than what I'm seeing. The 'IB guys' defending their 'turf', the 'LLT guys' defending theirs. Of course it'll be like that. A BMW dealer in a mercedes dealership WILL stir the pot.... And with audio at least as subjective as cars we will see the same here. Human nature, you defend what's 'yours', and your belief system. Too bad these systems are somewhat hard to come by, and get demoed properly.

I haven't heard an IB yet. I'm sure I'd like it. It models well, good principle, pretty easy to implement if you have the space. It's different from most conventional setups. Place high demand on the equipment used, and overdimensioning is required.

LLT is more conventional, just overdone. With the low tuning you push some of the flaws of a ported system to a less objectionable frequency range, but they are still there. But you also get the port benefits, and with a vengeance. Since the entire system is built around overkill, the end results are usually awesome.

So which to pick? Sorry, you're gonna have to take the plunge and try yourself, I'm afraid.
