of course all the performance thingy .. how much the zensor 1 right now? 2k something? i think q acoustic is around 1.4k something.. this 2 are in my watchlist before.. just find out about this xls when checking out the elac.. this xls should the best candidate right now

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.

Pm the price pls

i placed my XLS-Encore 4 feet away from the wall and almost 7 feet apart.
it took me years to understand this pair of speaker.

with the correct tweaking of XLS-Encore the bass make you go nuts...

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.

Just sharing. Serious audiophile listener may text me.

wine cup spotted

i need to forget about this xls for now.. just got myself a preloved mission 752 freedom in mint condition.. the bestest part is i got it for 80ringgiittt!!!.. i love what i heard, using it with a-400 + xonar stx.. anyone can direct me to correct thread for xover upgrade?? sonicap etc.. thanks in advance

Where did you get that rack ? I like it very much

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.

thnks for your reply fx20.. agree with you.. i've double check both main driver and dome tweeter are in good condition.. i saw in this thread before there is upgrade kits using sonicap so plan to do the same.. this speaker xover is the most simple i ever seen lol..no pcb at all but i think its better this way



from what i can see from the printout on the cap and resistor.. 4.7uf 100v cap and doubled 5.6 Ohm 10 Watt resistor.. not sure about value of the copper wire.. no cap or resistor at all at the woofer site.
