Other Notes: "For a conservative company like McIntosh, my concept of the XRT20 speaker system was very radical. The size, shape and two piece construction was very different from the traditional designs of earlier McIntosh systems. However, the XRT20 upheld the McIntosh tradition of excellence and performance. It fulfilled several fundamental requirements. Based on my past experience, there was a definite need for a speaker system that handled more power at mid and high frequencies. The McIntosh electronics section was making higher power amplifiers and we didn’t have a speaker that would handle it. In addition, there were many amplifiers, including older McIntosh units that didn’t have Power Guard to prevent "clipping" at higher power. For systems having only a single mid-range or tweeter, the distortion products in a badly clipping amplifier could have enough energy to burn out the mid-range or tweeter." - Roger Russel
