McIntosh XR50

The XR50 is versatile enough for both. While they excel at dedicated music listening due to their 3-way design, their ported construction and full-range sound profile make them highly effective as main or surround speakers in a high-end home theater system.

These speakers are rated for 75 to 300 watts. Because they have a sensitivity of 81dB, they perform best with an amplifier that has enough headroom to handle dynamic peaks without distortion.

The McIntosh logo on the front of the speaker illuminates when connected to compatible McIntosh amplifiers via the dedicated power control cable. It adds a signature aesthetic touch that integrates visually with the rest of your system.

Yes, their compact bookshelf footprint makes them ideal for smaller spaces where you want high-fidelity sound without the bulk of floor-standing speakers. Despite their size, the 3-way driver configuration ensures you still get a full, rich soundstage.

The patented Solid Cinch binding posts are designed to securely hold your speaker cables in place, preventing them from loosening over time. They also ensure a high-quality, consistent connection for optimal signal transfer.

The XR50 features a magnetically attached, acoustically transparent grille. It is designed to have minimal impact on the sound, so you can leave it on to protect the drivers without compromising audio performance.
