General:
This is a pair of super capable speakers from McIntosh featuring a complex titanium mid/tweeter array and very powerful woofers.

The XCS has rear connections to allow bi-wire or tri-wire, but jumpers are included in case you'd like to use a single amplifier.

Both speakers were full tested in our lab and listening area and working as they should. 

Please note this set does not include grills. In my opinion they look better without, proudly displaying the impressive complement of drivers.

Cosmetic Notes:
• No grills included
• One speaker has plugged bracket mounting holes
• Speaker terminals have some tarnish
• Misc. blemishes around all edges

More from McIntosh:
Designed for use in very high quality home theater installations, the McIntosh XCS200 Center Channel Loudspeaker delivers extraordinary sound quality, enormous acoustic output and 600 Watt power-handling.

With a frequency response of 80 Hz to 45 kHz the XCS200 produces a true-to-life image that is the perfect complement to fine loudspeakers such as the McIntosh XR200.

Not limited for use as a center channel, the XCS200 also excels as a left, right, or surround loudspeaker.

The XCS200 features a custom extruded aluminum enclosure for long-lasting durability.

The concave side panels of this enclosure resist standing waves for smooth low frequency response while contributing to the sophisticated appearance of the loudspeaker.

A high-glass piano black finish front baffle insures that the XCS200 will complement any decor.

Testing Process:

Our speaker evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. 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.

After 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. During 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.

Our 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.

After the initial visual inspection, we connect the sub at our bench and perform a sine wave sweep from about 200Hz down to around 10Hz. During this sweep we are listening for excessive rattle or other signs of improper function. If 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 features or multiple connection options these features are tested at this time.

We 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.
