The XRT2K Loudspeaker System is the speaker that speaker engineers have always dreamed of designing and building. McIntosh engineers made the dream come true with a three-way, dual column design meticulously housing six 12" aluminum long throw woofers, sixty-four 2" titanium midrange drivers and forty 3/4" titanium tweeters. All elements are chosen for use with high power amplifiers up to 2,000 watts.
Each driver and crossover component has been carefully designed for durability, efficiency and, above all, low distortion and is the ideal size for wide-angle sound dispersion. The multiplicity of drivers means that each element sees only a tiny fraction of the total power. Dynamic compression (the varying impedance characteristic of a speaker that is heating and cooling when receiving high power) is reduced to the vanishing point with this multi-element design.
All this engineering would be wasted if cabinet resonances entered the picture, so the core of the XRT2K structure is made of extruded aluminum for maximum rigidity.
