    Centre speaker for XT8

    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 you for your opinions.

      magicvinny,

      I believe in system symmetry. So I would go with the XTC. It will have the same timbre at the XT8's.


      Of course, if it's possible to test each center with the XT8's, that's the best scenario. Then let your ears decide.


      Hope this helps.

        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...

        Where did the XTC center go? (no longer on B&W site)

        Hey guys
        So I'm just about to order an all XT setup for my shoe box in the sky now that the new XT8s are here but the whole XT range is now filed under Hi-Fi instead of home theater and the XTC center is no where to be found!

        Do you think this is just a temporary category relocation...

        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.

        Hey,


        I have a problem with my XTC speaker. Yesterday I was watching a movie with a lot of dialogue. Sometimes I could hardly understand what they were saying.

        Is the SQ of this speaker really that bad??

        The problem is in the XT series there is only...

        Rotel for B&W speakers
        by magicvinny
        So,

        This is my current setup:

        Pioneer 508XD
        Denon 2500BT
        Denon 3808
        B&W XT8, XTC and B&W inwalls

        I would like to change my Denon 3808 for another amp.

        Do you think the RSX 1560 is better than the Denon 3808?...
