    Xt8

    Does anyone have more info on the XT8 rather than the scant CES info? Thanks

      It's replacing the XT4 and has an FST midrange. The grill goes all of the way to the floor and it has a round base instead of the angled feet of the XT4. They are going to be $3300.00 a pair US.

      The price is $3500.00 a pair US. Sorry about that. Fat fingers I guess.

          Don't know If I like the round base. :unsure: I liked the feet on the XT4.

            As it is going to FST, do you think this will mean a new XTC?
            I hope there is an improved centre.

              Thanks guys the pictures are great. I'll certainly demo them when they become available. The XT's only achiles heel is a polite midrange, if the XT8's sound significantly better I will definitely be an early adopter as a replacement for my XT4 set.

                How much better are the XT8 over the XT4
                by TYE
                Anyone go from the XT4 to the XT8, or do any comparisons? I have the XT4 and came across a deal on XT8s, but wondering if its really worth upgrading. I dont have anywhere local with XT8s so I cant just go in and listen.

                CM9 or XT8
                by magicvinny
                Dear all,

                I'm from Belgium so sorry for the English

                I've sold my XT4 speakers(still have XTC as a center) and I'm looking for a replacement. I would like to improve sq so I was thinking of the XT8's.
                Would the XT8 be a good match with the XTC? XT8 has FST and...

                Centre speaker for XT8
                by magicvinny
                A friend of mine has XT8 front speakers. Now he's looking for a centre speaker.
                The obvious choice would be the XTC but...the XT8 has FST midrange but the XTC has not.

                Would it be better to buy a CMC2 wich has also FST midrange or go with the XTC anyway??

                Thank...
