This design, when compared to conventional Loud- speaker Drivers, reduces distortion significantly. It also increases power handling and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear vent through the magnetic assembly offers improved heat dissipation. The die cast basket has an open air area under the voice coil\/spider assembly to prevent displacement noise. The polypropylene cone with a rubber surround has a four layer copper voice coil and is rigid to perform as a near perfect air piston.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll together these advances in woofer design construction and materials produce the very important first several octaves of music, with a high degree of accuracy and superb transient response. This performance level rivals woofers twice the size of the XR100 woofer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Neodymium-Iron-Boron Alloy Magnets\u003cbr\u003eThe 10 two inch Midrange Drivers and the three-quarter inch Dome Super Tweeter all use this Alloy. The Neodymium-Iron-Boron Alloy has the highest flux density per unit of volume. This allows for a smaller physical size driver and thus closer driver to driver placement for improved dispersion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Dual Midrange Crossover Points\u003cbr\u003eThere are several benefits when using multiple Mid- range drivers. First, there is a substantial increase in power handling capacity far greater than a single larger diameter midrange driver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, due to mutual acoustic coupling there is an increase in output volume while at the same time a reduction in audible distortion. Eight of the 10 Midrange Drivers reproduce the lower two octaves of midrange frequencies. The remaining two Midrange Drivers reproduce the upper two octaves of midrange frequencies and are located directly adjacent to the tweeter. This maintains wide dispersion with a stable sound image throughout the upper midrange frequencies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Loudspeaker Protection\u003cbr\u003eThe XR100’s built-in speaker protection incorporates four automatic resetting solid-state devices in the crossover network. One protects the tweeters, one each for the low and upper midrange drivers and one for the woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery capable full range (and I mean FULL RANGE) speakers from McIntosh made right here in the good old USA.

We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, dented tweeter domes, and cone damage. We also inspect the speaker connection points for loose or broken connectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the initial visual inspection we connect the speakers to a reference amplifier with our preferred test tracks. With the speakers placed with proper distance we listen to each driver to make sure that they are producing the intended frequencies with no signs of distortion or rattle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring listening tests with test tracks we check for proper stereo imaging and bass response at various listening levels. If there are any audible signs of issues, the speakers are taken to the bench where we perform a frequency sweep to isolate the issue so that it can be resolved by component repair or replacement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur subwoofer evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, cone damage, or rubbing voice coils. We also inspect the input connections for damage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the initial visual inspection we connect the sub at our bench and perform a sine wave sweep from about 200 Hz down to around 10 Hz. During this sweep we are listening for excessive rattle or other signs of improper function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the sweep passes we then increase the input level to evaluate how the woofer performs at high output levels. If the woofer has built-in crossover adjustments or multiple connection options these features are tested at this time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe complete the subwoofer evaluation by feeding the unit with an audio signal in conjunction with our house music system to see how it responds to low frequency content in real world conditions while paired with a full range system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McIntosh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47845778358526,"sku":"904284","price":8634.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/3275\/9084\/files\/mcintosh-xr100-floorstanding-speakers-pair-pre-loved-788.jpg?v=1774455812","url":"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/en-gb\/products\/mcintosh-xr100-floorstanding-speakers-pair-pre-loved","provider":"SkyFi Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
