XRT2K: buy them now or never.
Hi everybody,
like any self-respecting audiophile, unfortunately for my bank account that echoes (it's empty, ehehehe :D), I again have the inordinate need to make an update to my system; a step forward that I would have certainly taken with the right time and with the right calm, to be able to organize myself economically and physically for the new products that I intend to buy. But, this time, unfortunately, I think the time is up! :scratch2: I would like to "give myself" a couple of the last 10 examples produced by McIntosh of the renewed XRT2K that mount the black Mids, that is, the ones you find in the XRT1K, which I have owned for some years and with great satisfaction... I know perfectly well that with a single pair of MC 1.25KW the XRT2Ks will not immediately give the best of them, having the possibility, as amply described by the good Ivan, to even be tri-amplified with a total of 6 MC2KW !! (3 per side). :crazy: :naughty: :D But the problem is that today I think it's the last chance to buy new the best speaker McIntosh has ever produced in his life. How should I behave? In your opinion, there would be the possibility, by contacting McIntosh directly, of having a couple put aside to be able to buy them by 2022, that is, as soon as I have the economic availability to be able to buy them, or will I have to get used to the sad idea that I'll never have them? I tried to send an email to McIntosh but after a week I didn't get any response. :( Are there any other mail contacts? :thought: Thank you all and I hope to hear your views on this soon. |
Since they also own Sonus Faber, perhaps the lack of response is giving you a hint on where to look for new speakers in Italy. :dunno:

I find that picking up the phone and calling them tends to get the best results.
1-607-723-3512 If that fails have a nice discussion with your local dealer. |

Unfortunately, I don't find a musical feeling with the Sonus Faber and I wouldn't like the idea of going from a totally aluminum cabinet on which 6 12" woofers are mounted to one in wood / MDF that has a maximum of one 12" woofer and will never reflect my way of conceiving the dynamics of music. There is a topic in which Ivan (Davide vs. Goliath) explains very well the differences between the two products in question and I find myself fully in the XRT2K world. |

Do you also have an email address so I can explain myself better? (reasons related to the language, unfortunately) |

Ivan probably has better contacts at Mc than I do so you might reach out to him as well. The benefits of being a subscriber cannot be overstated. |

help from the great Ivan! Consider that with the pandemic going on for 2 years now, XRT2K has become my daily obsession... I'll have to have them... |

Consider that on my current XRT1K, which only has two 10" woofers, I had already thought of bi-amping them with two 1.25 per side.:music: The XRT2K has SIX 12" woofers!:D You should also choose the option of tri-amplification with three 1.25 per side.:scratch2: |
