Superior sound shouldn’t have to be limiting. Our new XRC-5.2 gives you same world-class design, premium parts, and superb sound of the X-Ref Series in a uniquely flexible monitor that works equally well as either a center channel or as standalone monitors.

Used in conjunction with the XRT-5.2 towers, the XRC-5.2 creates a superb home theater system, capable of amazing dynamics, pinpoint imaging, and seamless surround. Used vertically on stands or shelves, a pair will deliver excellent imaging, superb clarity, and well-controlled bass extension.

With a 1" custom-engineered, low resonance silk dome tweeter and a pair of proprietary 5" blended cone woofers arranged in our signature Nested Array™ configuration, the XRC-5.2 delivers superb imaging and smooth response. Featuring a critically braced cabinet, with a sealed alignment and premium parts, the XRC-5.2s includes a sophisticated multi-pole asymmetrical crossover built with low distortion air-core inductors. Precision metalized film capacitors, and oxygen-free copper wire round out the XRC-5.2’s audiophile pedigree.
