Know before you buy
Yes, the MXT60 is Dolby Atmos certified and DTS:X compatible. It is designed to function effectively as a front-channel speaker in a high-performance home theater setup.
The MXT60 features a 6.5-inch woofer paired with dual passive resonators, which provide punchy and responsive bass. While they offer impressive low-end extension down to 38Hz, adding a dedicated subwoofer can further enhance the deep-bass impact for larger rooms or movie-heavy setups.
These speakers have an 8-ohm impedance and are rated for up to 200 watts of power. They are efficient enough to be driven by most standard home theater receivers or integrated amplifiers.
With a footprint of 7 by 10 inches and a height of 36 inches, the MXT60 has a relatively slim profile for a floor-standing speaker. They are designed to fit into modern living spaces without overwhelming the room while still delivering a full-range sound.
The Hi-Res Audio certification indicates that the speakers are capable of reproducing a wider frequency range—up to 40,000Hz—than standard speakers. This allows for more detailed, accurate sound reproduction when listening to high-resolution music files or high-fidelity movie soundtracks.
