#74 Emotiva Airmotiv XC3 Estimated eBay
Same family: the Emotiva Airmotiv XB2 (bookshelf, rated 4.2/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XT1 (smallest floorstanding, estimated 4/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XT2 (floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XT3 (largest floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XC2 (smaller center, ranked lower, estimated 3.4/5), the Emotiva Airmotiv XC1 (smaller center, ranked higher, estimated 3.6/5) and the Emotiva Airmotiv XA2 (surround, estimated 3.6/5).
Pros: The largest Airmotiv center, a three-way design with two 5.25” midranges, four 6” woofers and the folded ribbon tweeter, rated from 40Hz at 90dB.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. At about 1.3m wide and 29 kg it needs a very large shelf or stand, and Emotiva often lists it as sold out.
