Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Emotiva X-Ref Series premium loudspeakers.
The X-Ref Series, designed in cooperation with renowned loudspeaker designer Vance
Dickason, represents the culmination of years of research into optimized loudspeaker
design. With the X-Ref Series, you are getting advanced design, premium features,
quality construction, and superb sound. All of the members of the X-Ref Series share
the same basic features, including our exclusive low-resonance 1” silk dome tweeter for
crystalline highs, proprietary blended-pulp cone mid/woofers for smooth midrange and bass
performance, and sophisticated multi-pole asymmetrical crossover to ensure a seamless
transition between elements. Critically braced MDF enclosures, dressed in our furniture-
grade, 6-layer, black satin lacquer finish, with an attractive removable grill complete the
picture. The X-Ref Series currently consists of ten models, all voiced to work perfectly
together in a stereo or home theater setup that will sound far better than you ever imagined
possible for such a modest price. We trust you’ll be as impressed with our achievement as
we are - and hope you enjoy listening to these as much as we enjoyed designing them and
bringing them to you.
The X-Ref Series of loudspeakers are designed to provide satisfying full-range sound.
If, however, you decide you need more powerful and even more extended bass response,
Emotiva offers the X-Ref series of DSP Powered Subwoofers. The X-Ref subs are
optimized to perfectly complement the X-Ref family of speakers, blending seamlessly with
them and delivering the final lowest octaves effortlessly and with absolute authority and
precise control.
Of course we also humbly suggest that you consider pairing your Emotiva X-Ref Series
loudspeakers with a set of our exceptional sounding, yet reasonably priced, source
components and power amps.
Happy listening!
The Emotiva Team
