The McIntosh XRT1.1K Loudspeaker is a more compact version of the flagship XRT2.1K, 14 inches (35 cm) shorter and 173 lbs (78 kg) lighter, designed to fit a wider range of home environments while delivering powerful, full-range sound with exceptional stereo imaging. It employs a unique line array configuration with 70 individual drivers: (4) 6.5” woofers, (2) 6.5” low-frequency midranges, (24) 2” upper-frequency midranges, and (40) ¾” tweeters. The ported 4-way design ensures even sound dispersion, preventing overpowering volumes near the speaker and maintaining quality at distance. The crossover network uses low-loss capacitors and inductors with high linearity for distortion-free response, protected by self-resetting PTC fuses. Featuring a striking aesthetic with high-gloss piano black bass cabinet, brushed aluminum accents, steel spider suspension, magnetic grille fasteners, machined aluminum and glass base with 4 adjustable feet for vibration-free placement. Tri-amp and tri-wire capable.
