9925 Center / High End center speaker in real piano finish
XTZ 99.25 is the center speaker in the XTZ "Top of the line" series, equipped with SEAS Excel drivers ensuring an absolutely clean and transparent reference class performance. 60 years of experience support these drivers.
99.25 uses a ribbon tweeter, providing superior transient response and a very flat frequency graph.
We wanted to see if we could take the price/performance ratio to the next level. For XTZ 99.25 we browsed only the best components before choosing. The goal was a bookshelf speaker with top qualities, and as little sound coloring as possible, combined with a finish not seen in the price range before.
* 8 Layers of piano finish paintwork
* High-End sound quality
* SEAS Excel drivers
* High performance ribbon tweeter
* Room Tuning - Possiblity to adapt to the room
* Adjustable tweeter with 4 levels
* 25 mm MDF
Goals
When the XTZ 99.25 was constructed the resulting quality of the loudspeaker had a greater importance than the resulting cost. Still we claim to say that with the right skills and production volume, it is possible to obtain a great deal of High End quality without making the price of the speaker so high that only a few people can afford it.
* High End sound quality
* High mechanical quality materials and components at a competitive price
* Relatively small cabinet
* Pure and timeless design
* Flexible with a wide range of settings
* Can be used as monitor speaker and center speaker as well
Technical presentation
XTZ 99.25 is the center loudspeaker of the XTZ 99 loudspeaker series. It may be used as a front speaker on a stand, satellite speaker or as a center unit since it is . 99.26 and 99.25 is the same speaker except the shape of the cabinet.
Cabinet design
The cabinet is constructed with a thin baffle - not only an estetically neat shape but also an advantage in terms of sound reproduction since you get a more stable construction which effectively reduces cabinet resonances.
The cabinet is made in 25mm MDF board, which has good sonic qualities.
The cabinet is further strengthened with internal bars, which in enhances stability.
Tweeter
We have selected a ribbon tweeter that provides superior transient response and a very flat frequency response.
The ribbon cone is super light and only 18 microns thin. It is a sandwich construction of rosin-aluminium-rosin that has been hardened at 320 degrees celsius.
The magnet system consists of 2 rows of high-efficient neodymium magnets in a moulded chassis of ceramical carbon steel.
Fishbone shaped contactors in aluminium yields a low connection resistance and good heat dissipation.
The driver has a high power durability and handles frequencies up to 40000 Hz which makes it DVD-Audio and SACD-ready.
Woofer/Midrange driver
After evaluating a large number of drivers from different manufacturers we selected one from Seas, a company that has a solid reputation in the area of high quality speaker drivers. You find Seas drivers in many well-known High End speakers. For woofer/midrange we decided on a 6,5" magnesium driver from the Seas Excel series that have extreme performance. We claim that finding a better 6,5" driver on the market is a very difficult task.
The surface treated magnesium cone is extremely light and still extremely stiff and effectively reduces resonances.
The rubber surrounding makes sure that no edge resonances are present.
The moulded metal basket is a "high flow" type that is acoustically transparent and with high precision since the basket is shaped exactly due to moulding. This makes sure that the basket is very stable and efficiently reduces resonances. The basket is absolutely non-magnetically, which contributes to a higher efficiency of the driver.
A strong magnet combined with the light cone ensures high efficiency and a good transient response.
Heavy copper rings mounted above and below the T-shaped pole piece reduces non linear and modulation distortion and increases the overload margin.
The copper plating of the top and bottom plates along with a solid copper phase plug improves the heat conduction and thus contributes to the high power durability.
Gold plated terminals reduces contact resistance and serves as anti-corrosion. Large windows in the basket both above and below the spider reduces sound reflexion, air flow noise and cavity resonances.
Crossover
The crossover is a two way –12 dB Linkwitz/Riley-filter, that has a fast transient response and minimum phase shiftings. The crossover filter is made from quality capacitors and coils with low resistance.
It's designed to allow adjustments of the tweeter level to have a perfect adaptation to the room. Read more under the heading of Room Tuning.
Binding post
The connectors are gold plated and of bi-wiring type so that you can connect to the amplifier with double cables (bi-wiring), or connect to two amplifiers (bi-amping) to further improving the sound.
Settings and sound shapes
To perfectly adapt the speaker to your room and / or preference we have equipped the XTZ 99.25 with Room Tuning.
Room Tuning - Mechanical boundare frequency control
By using the supplied bass reflex plugs, it is possible to mechanically alter the lower boundary frequency on XTZ 99.25.
This makes it possible to alter the sound character of the speaker. You can chose from two different sound shapes in the bass range by using the bass plugs. These settings also depend on the size and shape of the room, and also on your own preference, so please have patience when trying out your preferred setting.
Closed cabinet
With the bass plug mounted in the bass reflex port, the cabinet is closed and the loudspeaker operates as a closed construction.
Bass reflex
With no plug present in the port you get a higher bass level and the loudspeaker is capable of handling lower frequencies.
Level adjustment in the treble range
In the treble range the level is adjustable in four different steps using the supplied loop connector.
