You will hear completely different soundstage with 3 xcs encore.

Alex, get a pair XCS encore and and they will fill up your room.

There are not many well-designed sealed center or MTM.

I have came across a few really good ones, and they are a few times more expensive but did not really have much differences.

Incorrect facts,

1. Mid frequency won't interfere with tweeter frequency. This is the same as different frequency band for different telco operator.
2. The interference happens if the speaker is not time-aligned. The crossover design of XCS is aligned between tweeter and woofer. Most probably, those ported center have this issue as the extended low frequency may generate higher order harmonic distortion, hence create the interference.

Or even better, here the plot for xcs, notice any interference?





The spectral decay is really clean.

Furthermore, if this theory is correct, then we can throw all multiple drivers floorstand into rivers. Worse, most of floorstands are multi way, time-aligned is almost impossible to extremely difficult.

A good speaker has to be picky as they response sensitively to all spectrum frequency. Positioning is utter important for xls encore. For the best result, we suggest you toe them in, as xls encore works best at on-axis listening position.

Actually, XLS encore has really unique finishing, though not wood color. But it has its purpose in reducing reflecting sound wave.

XLS Encore was one of the best speakers I have listened to. We bring it in so most can enjoy a really good priced speaker. However, we also learned most of mindset are, cheap=poor. We strive to change that.

A multimedia speaker is just a multimedia speaker. They have no match with audiophile monitor and one of their common signature was boomy and kind of bright.

We have owner who use 10k power amp to drive these speaker, the sound was really clean especially you have big space. One of them even tried to blow the speaker but luckily he stopped at a point when his eardrum still intact.

Sorry, there is some glitches on our website with our hoster, trying to get it up ASAP.

Phew .... it is up now.

Your Ep100.2Se still in action? Now, it is gone up to 4.5k these days.

Congrats for your new purchase.

We have 3 units brand new XLS Encore ready to let go at a cheaper price.

They are having a very minor cosmetic imperfection, at the back lower part of the speaker. The imperfection can't be seen, and it does not affect the sound quality at all.

XLS Encore never be on sale since its launch, please grab the chances while they are still available.

Hi sir, where do you based, let me check the shipping cost first.

Oh, our 2nd batch of XLS Encore is almost sold out. We have some not-so-perfect-on-cosmetics units which are offer for sale to clear out the space.

If you are interested, please PM for detail.

Xls-encore is designed and works best when toe in, though it has really good off axis response.

To get the most of it, you have to place it according to golden triangle ratio in order to get the best stereo imaging, aka balanced at high to low freq.

Most importantly, you need to clear the speaker at least 1 foot from the wall.

Hope this help.

We have compared with Dali Zensor 1. I have a friend who has both speakers.

What do you want to know?

Zensor 1 should be 1k plus. It was a good speaker, to be frank. Mid is clear and has a lot of detail. It does not has a lot of bass.

XLS has a lot of bass, smoother high and detailed mid, but you need space for this speaker to shine.

If you able to read chinese, i will throw you a review.

Look at 2:40 on xls encore.

XLS Encore to me still a speaker hard to beat at its price, ,

I was rather surprise that the fellow did a comparison on XLS Encore with Elac and Elac modified which are more expensive.

X-LS Encore is still a higher level speaker and is still the benchmark for bookshelf speaker.

Large space is a bonus to XLS Encore.

Alex, you still hold the record so far for the setting up the system with XLS Encore. I am missing it all the time.

The main problem of used speaker is the rubber surrounds and paper cone as they degraded across time especially in Malaysia due to humidity . Xover is for HF and LF cutoff, it would not improve much to be honest perhaps better cutoff. Most old speaker xover network are kind of complex. Perhaps you redesign with a simple one.
