I have noticed that there still aren't many reviews about BW XT series.
Here is my one mth expirience with my RMB 1095 and RSP 1068 combo (also new).
Simply awe inspiring ;x(
I had originally purchased the Xt's with a 1067 reciever, to my dismay rotel's highly vaunted receiver, simply couldn't drive the XT4's to enthusiast levels. It would overheat and switch off, it also had quite a bit of hum. Undeterred and otherwise happy with the Rotel sound and video capabilities, I ordered the 1095/1068 plus I ordered a second PV1 sub since a single one wasn't cutting it in our sizable rec room.
The result was simply amazing. The XT4's eat the 1095's power like candy and in return provide some of the most detailed unerring audio reproduction I have ever expirienced. The PV1s complement the xt4's in a completely transparent musical fashion that gives the system and overall bass output and response that has nothing to envy BW's 802s. (okay maybe a little )
I took a little time today and listened to my old TUSK cd (IMO, sonically, one of the best rock and roll audio recordings of all time) using 5 channel stereo DSP and fell in love with audio all over again! The voices, the instrumentalizations absolutely everything was true to life. It was as if Stevie and her gang were right there in my rec room :cry:
Last week it was video time, the Return of the King's battle rendering was simply spectacular, going to the theater has now been totally ruined for me :E . BTW the XTC and XT2 are also flawless as surround speakers. I certainly cannot vouch for them if coupled with other mains, but my guess is few people would want to combine them with other speakers due to the contrasting visual design they would probably look atrocius if mixed with wooden cabinet speakers. I must also compliment the visual esthetics of the XT series, they are simply stunning to look at. We have a Lloyd Wright inspired home where they compliment the decor as if Frank had a hand in the design!
In sum I have to wholeheartedly give BW's XT series an enthusiastic 2 thumbs up for Rotels as transducers for Rotels big papa RMB 1095, certainly a match made by the gods of music. Bachus would have definitely enjoyed dancing to the beat of this amazing sonic combination ;b>
