Deal Details
Spectacular deal for an incredibly versatile speaker: the rotatable tweeter allows it to be used as a horizontal center AND as vertical L/R mains or surrounds! The AMT folded ribbon tweeter provides extended and crystal clear highs with zero harshness unlike many metal domes. Rear porting allows for a respectable 50Hz F3 and 88db sensitivity.
At this jaw-dropping $229, nothing on the market comes close to it in price-to-performance. As long as the simple black cabinets don't cause a WAF eruption 🤣, you could easily build a long-term "keeper" system dirt cheap (5 for $1150)!

The XC1 is a 3 way center and LCR speaker that stands out for its ribbon tweeter, natural tone, and strong off axis clarity. It fits shorter TV setups well, and the 88 dB sensitivity plus smooth highs make it appealing for home theater, especially when crossed to a sub. The main tradeoffs are its size, rear porting, and power needs, since it wants space and clean amplification to avoid sounding muddy. A solid fit when the room and amp can support it.

These are very inefficient & tend to sound muddy when under powered ime.
Emo even listed/states: "Recommended amplifier power: 60W or more" with 88 db/4ohm.
For multichannel at average listening levels, some entry level $500 AVR likely won't cut it ime.
Price seems amazing for a 3way lol
