XT8

As either the front speaker in an AV system or in a conventional stereo set-up, the top-of-the-range, floor-standing XT8 delivers unrivalled performance with a sleek aesthetic that’s a match for any interior style, contemporary or traditional.

The XT8 is a true three-way speaker boasting a Nautilus™ tube-loaded aluminium dome tweeter, a Kevlar® FST midrange driver, and twin composite paper/Kevlar® cone bass drivers. The bass units provide low-frequency bandwidth and power handling in abundance, giving the XT8 a real sense of scale and dynamics. As with all XT speakers, the body is formed from a single, seamless piece of extruded aluminium, creating an immensely rigid, stable enclosure and reducing cabinet coloration almost to zero.

Just like our reference 800 Series speakers, the XT8’s tweeter is positioned on top of the cabinet, providing wider sound dispersion, better image stability and improved phase integration with the midrange driver. The purity of the tweeter’s signal is preserved with a first-order crossover using just a single filtering component, hand-picked after exhaustive listening tests.

The XT8 is available in two finishes: natural brushed aluminium, and a stylish gloss black.
