Know before you buy
The integrated back-box provides a controlled acoustic environment for the driver, which ensures consistent sound quality regardless of the wall cavity size. It also protects the internal components from dust and debris while preventing sound from leaking into adjacent rooms.
Yes, the magnetic grille is designed to be paintable. You can easily match it to your wall color for a discreet, seamless look without affecting the audio performance.
These speakers are quite efficient with a 91 dB sensitivity, but they perform best with an amplifier rated between 50 and 200 watts per channel. This range ensures you have enough headroom to handle dynamic peaks in movies and music without distortion.
The Folded Motion tweeter uses a pleated diaphragm that moves air much faster than a traditional dome. This results in lower distortion, faster transient response, and a wider, more detailed high-frequency dispersion.
Yes, with a mounting depth of 3-7/16 inches, the XTW6 is designed to fit comfortably within the depth of a standard 2x4 wall stud construction.
Absolutely. Their precise imaging and high-frequency clarity make them an excellent choice for front, center, or surround channels in a high-end home theater system.
