McIntosh XCS1.5K Center Channel Loudspeaker

The Center of an Unrivaled Home Theater Experience

The XCS1.5K Center Channel Loudspeaker is an important piece of the puzzle to create a cinematic, immersive experience in a home theater system that uses McIntosh’s XRT2.1K or XRT1.1K Floor Standing Loudspeakers as the front left and front right speakers. The center channel speaker is a critical component in any home cinema system as a vast majority of dialog and other key sounds in a movie or television show emanate from the center speaker – thus making it essential that it produces a high-quality, clear sound. The XCS1.5K has been meticulously engineered for this exact purpose.
