but for those I really wonder how large the room would need to be so they could image properly. those are some huge speakers.
The XR-19's are wonderful speakers, provided you treat them like a McIntosh. They desire (and deserve) large amounts of power, and they are at their best when paired with a McIntosh environmental equalizer to tune the bass to the room.
The horizontal band around the top is a 180 degree array of tweeters (Phillips, I believe); they're the same tweeters used in the XRT-20's, just half as many. The bass cabinet is almost identical to the XRT-20's.

AFAIK, McIntosh has always listed their frequency responses @ +/-3db. For some reason, they do not always state it though.
