LX, QX, and RX MAX Acoustic Performance

[DukeBannon]

I've not found a good comparison of these fans from an acoustic standpoint and I'm hoping someone here has information they can share? I realize the MAX fans are not yet available so you may not have information on them.

Thanks

QX and RX data are out there.  I keep waiting for the LX reviews to appear, but not much from mainstream sources.

In terms of blade design, the LX and RX should be nearly identical and have very similar flow and acoustic readings, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.  However, the LX will not be quieter than a QX (which moves less air).  The unknown quantity will be if it really moves a meaningful bit more air than a RX with the same noise.  LX is clearly more advanced lighting than RX, so that's probably the decider for most people between those two.

First one I have seen for the LX.  It scores well and there is a RX in the comparison data.
