99.26 P / New reference bookshelf speaker in its price range
XTZ 99.26 P is a bookshelf 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.
99.26 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 99.26 we carefully selected only the best components. The goal was a bookshelf speaker with top qualities, and as little sound colouring as possible, combined with a finish not seen in the price range before.
* 8 Layers of real piano
* Sound quality in High-End class
* SEAS Excel drivers
* Ribbon tweeter with highest possible performance
* Room Tuning
* 25 mm MDF
* Adjustable tweeter in four steps
* Can be combined with 99 W12.16S and/or 99 W10.17P
* External crossover filter
* Ready for active bi-amping
Technical presentation
The 99.26 P is a monitor speaker in the XTZ 99-series, and can be used as front speaker on a stand or satellite. It can also be used together with the subwoofer modules 99 W 12.16S or 99 W 12.18P to create a very competent 2.2 front system.
XTZ 99.26 P is the same speaker as 99.26 Piano except for the external crossover filter box.
Cabinet
The cabinet is built using a narrow front - not only an aestetically neat shape, but also an advantage from an acoustic point of view as it provides a stable construction to keep resonances to a minimum. The cabinet is built from 25 mm MDF to ensure good sonic properties.
Tweeter
We selected a ribbon tweeter with superior transient response and a very flat frequency response. Ribbon tweeters are frequently used in high end speakers.
The ribbon cone is super light and only 18 microns thin. It is a rosin-aluminium-rosin sandwich construction that has been hardened at 320 degrees celsius.
The magnet system is a two row highly efficient neodynium construction in a moulded chassis of ceramical carbon steel.
Fishbone shaped contactors in aluminium provide a low connection resistance and good heat dissipation.
The driver has a high power capacity 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 can find Seas drivers in many High End speakers, even with 6 figure price tags. With 60 years of experience, they have cutting edge knowledge that puts most of the competition behind.
For the 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 but 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 has high precision since the basket is shaped exactly due to the moulding process. This makes sure that the basket is very stable and efficiently reduces resonances. The basket is absolutely non-magnetic, 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 reduce non linear and modulation distortion and increase 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.
Goldplated terminals reduce contact resistance and serve as anti-corrosion.
Large windows in the basket both above and below the spider reduces sound reflections, air flow noise and cavity resonances.
Crossover
The external crossover eliminates all chances of magnetically and mechanically induced distorsion caused by vibrations inside the speaker cabinet.
The components used are high quality MOX resistors, air wound coils flatfoil capacitors. The filter also enables the speaker to be driven as an active bi-amping setup.
Another reason for us to choose an external filter is that we feel there should be good possibilities to extend the system in the future.
Binding post
The bi-wiring connectors are goldplated and you can connect to the amplifier with double cables (bi-wiring), or connect to two amplifiers (bi-amping) for further improving the sound. This would need active filters.
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 99.26.
This makes it possible to drastically alter the sound character of the speaker. You can choose from eight different sound shapes in the bass range by using the bass plugs.
Sealed or bass reflex
With the plugs inserted the speaker operates as a sealed construction. When the plugs are out it is a bass reflex setup. This option lets you ajust the character of the speaker to suit the room, other equipment and your personal taste.
