XRT20 Speaker System Restoration (and questions)

[Bill Ferris]

I think the confusion stems from the article he wrote where the picture he posted has them on the outside but the same article says on the inside 8 inches from the cabinet and not more than one meter from the center. After talking to him I switched from outside to inside

My later model XRT-22s worked best with those similar physical placement settings, as well, even when I later had the tweeter line arrays mounted on my wall.
I ended up bi-amplifying them in a non-destructive manner, and had to seek out and purchase HQ digital crossovers in the very early nineties to properly electronically time align the tweeter line arrays outputs to the mid/bass cabinets output for best spatial impression imaging.

I’ve only had my XRT20’s for 15 years(!) and finally got around to mounting the tweeter arrays to the mid/bass enclosures.
I picked up 4 pieces of 36” 3/4” square tubing.
The mid/bass enclosures have threaded inserts.
The manual says they require 1/4-20 x 1-1/2” bolts but that wasn’t the case on mine.
I needed 10-32 x 1-1/2 machine screws.
The tweeter arrays were attached to a 2x4 and I attached those to the crossbars with 2” lag bolts.
(Yes, one screw is missing - I got one that was the wrong size).
I hope these will be my forever speakers.

I'm guessing no, but are those speakers going to be placed over the grill?

No, spaced out from the grill. They sound better "toed in" in that room.
