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.

The XT4 will be replaced from the XT8.....well I have see in my heat a set with XT8 mains and XT4 as rear...why????
"The new XT8 replaces the XT4. The XT4 will be discontinued when current stock is exhausted.."

Don't know If I like the round base. :unsure: I liked the feet on the XT4.
My wife is still upset that I sold mine.

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.
