Bowers and Wilkins XT-8 Brochure
XT Series
XT8
Form and Function
The XT8 is a true three-way speaker boasting a Nautilus™ tube-loaded
aluminium dome tweeter, a Kevlar® FST midrange driver, and twin composite
paper/Kevlar® cone bass drivers. The bass units provide low-frequency
bandwidth and power handling in abundance, giving the XT8 a real sense of
scale and dynamics. As with all XT speakers, the body is formed from a single,
seamless piece of extruded aluminium, creating an immensely rigid, stable
enclosure and reducing cabinet coloration almost to zero.
