Treble<br />

On the <strong>XT</strong>2 and <strong>XT</strong>8, our aluminium-domed,<br />

Nautilus Tapering Tube tweeter has the perfect<br />

perch – on top of the speaker. But it was our<br />

stop-at-nothing approach on earlier models<br />

that led us to find it. We wanted to eliminate the<br />

time-smearing of the tweeter signal when it was<br />

mounted in its traditional position in the main<br />

cabinet, caused by high frequency sound waves<br />

being re-radiated at the cabinet edges. Releasing<br />

the tweeter from its captivity and placing it on top<br />

did the trick. And results in a remarkably life-like<br />

and three-dimensional sense of acoustic space.<br />

Nautilus Tapering Tube<br />

technology works like a<br />

trumpet in reverse to banish<br />

the colouring sound output<br />

that comes from the rear of a<br />

drive unit. Like a black hole for<br />

stray sound.
