XT4 specifications

Bowers & Wilkins has long been recognized for its commitment to high-fidelity audio and cutting-edge technology, and the XT4 is a perfect embodiment of this reputation. This floorstanding speaker has been designed to elevate the listening experience through meticulous engineering and innovative features.

One of the XT4's standout characteristics is its striking design. The sleek, modern aesthetic complements a variety of home decors, making it an appealing choice for both casual listeners and audiophiles alike. The cabinet is constructed from premium materials that not only enhance visual appeal but also contribute to acoustical performance. The elegant finish options allow consumers to choose a look that best fits their living space.

At the heart of the XT4's performance lies its double-dome tweeter technology. This design consists of a dodecahedron-shaped tweeter that minimizes distortion and produces an exceptionally clear and detailed high-frequency response. Coupled with a Continuum cone midrange driver, the speaker offers a smooth transition between frequencies, ensuring that vocals and instruments sound lifelike.

The dual 6.5-inch bass drivers are engineered to deliver powerful and deep low-end performance. The bass reflex system, employing a rear-firing port, allows for an expansive soundstage and effective low-frequency extension. Whether it’s classical, rock, or any genre in between, the XT4 is capable of reproducing crisp mids and enthralling bass with remarkable clarity.

Bowers & Wilkins has integrated advanced technologies into the XT4 to enhance its overall performance. The use of Flowport technology minimizes turbulence and allows for a more controlled bass response, while high-grade internal components ensure quality signal handling. The speaker is built to handle high power levels, providing the ability to fill larger rooms with immersive sound without compromising clarity.

Versatility is another key aspect of the XT4. Though designed for high-end stereo setups, it can easily integrate into a home theater system, making it a valuable addition for those looking to enhance their cinematic experience. Its compatibility with various AV receivers makes it an ideal choice for those wanting high-quality audio across multiple platforms.

In summary, the Bowers & Wilkins XT4 is a fusion of elegant design and groundbreaking technology, offering music lovers and home theater enthusiasts an enriching audio experience that stands the test of time. With its exceptional sound quality, thoughtful engineering, and stylish presence, the XT4 is a worthy investment for anyone seeking to elevate their listening environment.
