Finally – a perfect line of loudspeakers designed for the home theater and stereo aficionado. The Emotiva X-Ref Series, designed in cooperation with renowned loudspeaker designer Vance Dickason, represents the culmination of years of research into optimized loudspeaker design. With the X-Ref Series, you are getting advanced design, premium features, quality construction, and (most important of all) superb sound. All of the members of the X-Ref Series share the same basic features, including our exclusive, low-resonance, 1", silk dome tweeter for crystal clear highs, our proprietary blended-pulp cone mid/woofers for smooth midrange and bass performance, and our sophisticated multi-pole asymmetrical crossover to ensure a seamless transition between elements. A critically braced MDF enclosure, covered with our furniture-grade, 6-layer, black satin lacquer finish, and an attractive removable grill all complete the picture.
Emotiva X-Ref Series loudspeakers are built with high-quality parts and all are voiced to work in perfect conjunction in virtually any combination. If you choose to add a subwoofer (or a pair of them), the X-Ref Series of loudspeakers are also impeccably complemented by our X-Ref DSP Powered Subwoofers.
The Emotiva X-Ref Series of loudspeakers were designed to deliver premium performance and superior sound at a reasonable price. All members of the X-Ref Series are voiced to work perfectly together and share similar features, including:
