The McIntosh XRT-28 Loudspeaker System is a sophisticated full-range speaker designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality and room sound suppression. It features a line array design with three parallel columns: two columns of twenty 4-inch midrange drivers each and a central column of sixteen 1-inch soft dome tweeters, all using Neodymium-Iron-Boron alloy magnets for high flux density and reduced weight. The bass section includes two 10-inch LD/HP2 woofers with magnetic shielding. The system has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, a frequency response from 16 Hz to 20 kHz, and a sensitivity of 88 dB (2.8V/1m). It can handle up to 1200 watts of amplifier power. The XRT-28 is designed with patented LD/HP magnetic circuit technology to reduce distortion and increase efficiency. Its shielded magnetic fields allow placement near TVs without interference. The speaker columns stand 77-1/8 inches tall, with a footprint of 16-3/8 inches square, and weigh approximately 139.5 pounds net. Available finishes include Black Ash, Natural Cherry, and Red Cherry. The design emphasizes superior imaging through symmetrical horizontal polar response and effective room reflection suppression, resulting in a neutral tonal balance and vivid, dynamic sound reproduction.
