Humongous McIntosh Speaker Bookmark and Share Posted Sun Jan 8, 2006, 1:34 PM ET

McIntosh displayed the full-range, $80,000/pair XRT2K speaker in their two-channel room at the Alexis Park. It sets a record for number of drivers per side—110—with 40 tweeters, 64 midrange units, and six woofers. Frequency response is claimed to be 16Hz–45kHz. The system driven to full volume by the 495lb McIntosh MC2KW monoblock ($30,000), which can deliver 2kW, demonstrated awesome dynamic range.

The XRT2K's are $80,000 per pair, not $40,000.

Good catch, Mr. Sanderson. I do understand where Larry got confused, hower. I just called McIntosh to confirm the price and they said $40,000. "Per paid?" I asked. "Oh my, no. That's each. Please go correct that immediately." Done.
