Anyone Know Anything On McIntosh XRT25 Speakers

you'll enjoy the xrt25. are there other speakers you can get for 3k that are as good in someone's opinion? yeah..a laundry list. that said, the bass is solid and articulate.

I'm sure a lot others but only have 2000-3500 to work with why, suggestions?

This isn't trying to talk you out of the mac's...The Klipsch Cornwall used or B stock can be had around 2500, and its an great allrounder. Klipsch and mac seem to play well together..the mac amp is smooth as silk. Ohm speakers can be had new...the 100 is spectacular, and rock solid bass, as well as balanced overall...for around 2k.You could go politely with Spendors or Harbeths..a bit less polite and more lively with Reference 3a's or Coincidents,or Ruarks etc..all are among my favorites..If however those macs are in excellent to mint condition however..and if you like their character, you may find them to be the last pair of speakers you ever want. They are unique, and revered by mac affectionados and dismissed by some 'golden ears'as ordinary...but they will reward with a non fatiging flat reponse and do not favor one type of music over another. Not the last word in anything, but enjoyable and pleasing...a music guy speaker for sure.

Thanks for the help. I love Mc gear and the XRT25's are beautiful and coming from a trusted knowledgeable company and the salesman knows Mc better than anyone whom I have dealt with before and always with excellent results. I have never heard them so it is strange for me because I always listen to speakers before buying...With that said I have been told they are great while others say the don't but sound is so subjective! Those who say no have never heard them so how do they know? I listen to rock everything 50's to anything current that is good, 50's to current Jazz, Blues and Folk, Country and basically everything but opera and musicals. Absolutely Love Dianna Krall! I Play Bass and Guitar and I love listening to music at a respectable volume (not low) but I also love to really crank the set up as well. I'm 62 and listen to so many types of music. I really like tight full bass. So have you ever heard the XRT25's? I have yet to find anyone who really says they personally heard a set. Someone else said LS series but I've heard then and don't like them and someone else said XLS360. I like clarity, definition and tight bass that is full but not so up in your face at any volume. Once again, thanks for the help. The XRT25's I can get are in fantastic condition, have original boxes, manuals and what ever else came new from Mc. Confused but need to make a decision.....soon!
