McIntosh XR50 on stands.
Bill - tell us about the XRT30s. You're the only person I've ever heard of using them.XRT-30`s tr-iamp`d with 4 mono`d MC 275 Mk IVs for highs/mids, and 2 MC 1201s for the main living room system.
XRT-18`s in bedroom driven with 2 more MC 1201`s with 2 Velodyne ULD series II 15" 400 watt active subs taking care of the deep bottom end..
DQ-10`s in sunroom powered by either a pair of MC-30`s(or MC-225, or whatever tuber is in rotation) via a original C 22 when I need a tube fix, or switched over via a separate line level & 30 amp spkr. relay auto switch box`s to a MC 2205 & C 27 for daily driving..
Also supplemented with a pair of Velodyne ULD series II subs picking up where the DQ-10`s roll off on the bottom end..
Minimus 7`s + 12" Cerwin Vega passive 12" sub driven by MA 6100 in tech work shop for background all day tunes..

Well damacman, all of my friends(audiophools, myself included, seem to think they sound excellent, especially when I upgraded from biamp`g from Crown DC-300 II`s for the mid/tweeter line arrays to first 2 MC-275, then 2 more a month later as, 2 couldn`t keep up with the MC-1201`s at "realistic" SPL when desired..Bill - tell us about the XRT30s. You're the only person I've ever heard of using them.
Plus one on @damacman comment lets hear about the XRT30s your Triamp experience. Plus what you are using for preamp of the main and bedroom system. Curious if multiroom control.
I have McIntosh line arrays in main XR290 and XR19 and bedroom XRT20 too. Have not set up MC2500s monoblocks for bedroom but may have too just because they are lying unused.
Those XRT 22`s sounded excellent, but their cabinet`s mid range crossover point wasn`t what I considered ideal and I didn`t wish to start hacking up $ 10,000.00 speakers.. I love them..
Kind regards Sir, OKB
Maybe you were getting floor bounce from the mid on XRT22 at half wave distance you did not like. Thick rug helps. Curious what bothered you in crossover?
But I did notice complete smoothness with XR290 versus my 19s and 20s when stacked where there was a voice waiver. The 19 has split woofer cross overs of XRT22 one at 150 and other at 250 then 1500 Hz. My XRT20 is early model with woofers crossing at 250hz and 1500 to tweeters I think it is very smooth. Where as XR290 is butter smooth with 400 Hz and 1300 Hz Crossovers
Do you notice crossover issues on XRT18 or did you change?
Running XRT18 with a custom crossover? Or the stock 350 and 1500 Hz, If so what?
Do you still have XRT30 with stock
Crossover Frequencies 80Hz 1,700Hz ?
