About the XR50
The McIntosh XR50 is a cleverly engineered compact 3-way bookshelf speaker designed to produce the rich, full sound expected from much larger speakers. It features a 6" LD/HP® polycone woofer with patented low distortion/high performance technology, two 2" inverted titanium dome midrange drivers, and a 3/4" titanium dome tweeter, all equipped with neodymium-iron-boron alloy magnets for powerful, precise sound. The speaker has a frequency response of 40 Hz to 45 kHz, nominal impedance of 8 ohms, and a recommended amplifier power range of 75 to 300 watts. Its bass reflex ported cabinet is cross-braced with non-parallel sides to reduce internal standing waves and resonance, ensuring clarity and accuracy. The XR50 includes McIntosh's custom gold-plated five-way binding posts and a magnetically attached acoustically transparent cloth grille. The front-panel McIntosh logo can be illuminated when connected to compatible McIntosh amplifiers via Power Control input. Handcrafted in McIntosh's Binghamton, New York factory, the speaker measures 8" W x 17" H x 11-3/4" D and weighs 19.5 lbs. It is available in gloss black or red walnut finishes and comes with a 5-year warranty. The XR50 is praised for its natural, warm sound with deep bass that belies its compact size, making it suitable for both stereo music and home theater systems.
