McIntosh XR50 是一對小弟聽過 $40K 以下的最楸得書架式喇叭 ,而令我印象最深刻的一次就是在美國碧咸頓麥景圖廠房中的一次測試聆聽,當時是進行盲測音樂和 Test Tone 實驗,在未知是發聲的最甚麼喇叭之下,以 C50 + MC302 推動,揪出一段喇叭花的 Band 鼓打擎,以及一些 R & P 與 Jazz Muisc,不論音量和聲壓 、音樂濃度都不折不扣是座地喇叭的質地,令人完成認定,在粉紅噪聲測試之下,左右相位對稱很很,並無偏離差,亦無結象情況,證明喇叭較似鑑聽型的一類比較準聲,因為粉紅噪訊應是有如反相的效果,不應有方向和結象感覺,否則聲音定位就出現問題,那麼在大型交響樂之重播就如惡夢般慘亂。 最後開燈揭幕,發夢也沒有想過亡前的音響效果是出自一對小巧的 XR50 ,馬上令人不其然走近細看一番,感覺滿是驚奇呢。
XR50 is a cleverly engineered compact bookshelf speaker that produces the rich, full sound one would expect from much larger speakers. Fine gloss wood finishes are offered in Black and Red Walnut. The magnetically attached grill is acoustically transparent and covered with a neutral black cloth. Unique front panel McIntosh logo may be illuminated when used with McIntosh components. Our patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts easily but securely attach the speaker cables to prevent them from coming loose and possibly causing a short; they are gold-plated to prevent corrosion and ensure a quality signal is delivered to the XR50.
