the bass is overwhelming and boomy. the upper midrange is edgy. asking too much from an 8" driver to hand off to a dome tweeter. the xt6f sounds worlds better.
l haven’t heard the XT8F but do own the XT6Fs. They’re not what I’d call warm speakers, especially with the grills off. I think they sound fairly neutral with the grills on. If you want a brighter sound, look to FocaI, Monitor Audio, or Revel. That or try a Class D amp.
