DESCRIPTION

On the XT2 and XT8, our aluminium-domed, Nautilus™ Tapering Tube tweeter has the perfect perch – on top of the speaker. But it was our stop-at-nothing approach on earlier models that led us to find it. We wanted to eliminate the time-smearing of the tweeter signal when it was mounted in its traditional position in the main cabinet, caused by high frequency sound waves being re-radiated at the cabinet edges. Releasing the tweeter from its captivity and placing it on top did the trick. And results in a remarkably life-like and three-dimensional sense of acoustic space.
