McIntosh XLS360

 

SOLD $5,500.00

MAY 2010

 

Insane value at this price. Shown me a recent model loudspeaker of this calibre with dual 10" woofers that is 'Made In The U.S.A." from a company with a history as long and distinguished as McIntosh, complete with all factory accessories and packaging and in mint condition that is listed for sale at anywhere near this price point. Less than two years old the original owner paid nearly $14K for these magnificent loudspeakers and is willing to take a beating for a quick sale due to immediate relocation overseas.

Do your own research and then give my office a call to be the new lucky owner of these gems of Hi-End audio splendour. Astonishing performance at a very affordable price for the Audiophile on a tight budget. Who says Dr Hi-Fi hasn't got something for everyone...

This full size, floor-standing loudspeaker combines a 5-Tweeter Bessel Array with a precision 6-1/2" woofer/midrange driver and precision crossover network; the common "Voice" of the XLS Series. Dual 10" woofers with enormous magnet structures deliver apocalyptic low-end response. The midrange and woofer both contain the patented McIntosh LD/HP technology that reduces distortion by 10dB or more.

The XLS360 is designed for free-standing use, and floor stands are included. It has a rear panel imaging jumper that guarantees optimal dispersion for left, center, or right loudspeaker placement.

The full size, floor standing XLS360 is designed for free standing use and floor stands are included. Dual 10” woofers with enormous magnet structures provide prodigious bass.


BESSEL FUNCTION TWEETER ARRAY
The five individual tweeters and their phase relationships are adjusted so that the array acts as a high frequency point source with a broad dispersion pattern. In addition, the array greatly increases power handling for high frequencies. The Bessel Array can be used in either the vertical or horizontal position without compromising sonic integrity.


UNIFIED “VOICING”
Combining the Bessel Tweeter Array with a new and exceedingly precise crossover, McIntosh Loudspeaker Engineers established a structure able to generate a realistic sound image throughout the listening room. This determines the “voice” or sound character of the speaker and is the foundation of the family of XLS loudspeakers.


PATENTED LD/HP® TECHNOLOGY
McIntosh woofers and midranges feature the patented LD/HP motor structure. This design utilizes aluminum shorting rings at both ends of the pole piece to extend the magnetic field around the voice coil. Distortion is reduced by 10dB or more.  These rings also increase voice coil heat dissipation and the power handling of the speaker.


XLS FINISHES
XLS Speaker grills are black acoustic fabric with side trim options of brushed champagne, red cherry, natural cherry and black ash.
