For anyone who has or has heard the Xt3's...please share thoughts.
I'm interested...

I'm looking forward to hearing them. They look like and, on paper, perform like my wonderful Phase Tech PC-9. While I like my T2 towers, if I could combine all that I like about them with all I like from my PC-9 it would be a match made in heaven!

Thanks - I've been off the site for a while...have everything I need and more. But, I appear to have an issue with my Maggies, and I'm thinking it's time to try something new. I always liked the top-of-the-line Emotiva towers, and these new ones have me tempted. I need to do a little testing when I get home from Edisto, SC tomorrow to make sure the issue is speakers and not something else. If it's speakers...likely going to try the X3T. Mark |

I have been through 10-OC a few times the past couple of years on my way to family in Alabama, and I think of all the Emofest fans every time as I pass through Southern Tennessee. If I get the Xt3's, I'l be sure to share my opinion. Mark |

Mark Good to see you on, I always worry a bit when guys have been inactive for some time, that's just me though haha Yeah trying new gear is never a bad thing  |

I have the T3+s (very similar to XT3s) and love them. They have a more detailed mid-range than the T2+s, which I also have. What's nice about the T3+s is they sound great loud, but also sound full and dynamic at lower listening levels. I also have the C3+ center, which matches up very nicely.

Thanks all! I got around to some troubleshooting, and I wasn't sure if the odd noises were my Magnepans, my FR/FL amps, or the XMC-2.
It turns out the issue was muy FR/FL amps. I'm not sure what went wrong with them...perhaps struck by lightning? Who knows. So, I'm looking for a new amp...like go w/Emotiva 2-channel...must debate XPA-2 vs. the XPA-DR2...(EDIT: Looks like the DR-2 is unavailable right now...)
Now, in addition to that one of my rear surrounds isn't making sound (even on all stereo). So, I need to see what's up with that. More trouble-shooting later today perhaps.

I have DR1s paired with Maggie 3.7is. I think they sound amazing together. I compare it to the Ayre / Maggie pairing I heard many years ago that I previously thought was the sweetest match up I had heard.

I've got my Prima Luna tube amp for 2 channel. In my testing to sort out the front channel noise issues, I figured out that my Hypex Ncores and 1 channel of my old (2009) XPA-5 are fried. So, I'm starting to think about what to do for home theater needs. My home theater and 2-channel are "shared" in that I've got a switch-box to switch from the multi-channel amp solely (for which, I can run the FR/FL in 2-channel mode) or the tube amp in 2-channel mode outside any of the XMC-2 circuitry. This opens up options for the multi-channel amp. I'm starting a separate thread on that given it's a very different topic than the Xt3's. Mark |

Mark My setup is the same in a way, 2 channel integrated into my now 3.1 setup, which is why I'm trying to sell some gear off and just stick with a 2ch setup, in the end I'm fine with that and it will be easier haha. I seen those new Adcom amps and thought they look interesting. I'm getting tired of the multichannel thing. Heck my MPS-1 is running only 2 amp blades. Chad |
