Far from it the floorstand speakers are giving even for acoustically most demanding material their best and convince with precise timing wonderful balance and excellent fine dynamics. The Multi-channel system of 99.36 99.25 and Sub 12.17 continues this virtues and so present different artists like Metallica ( Through the Never ) or Adele ( Live at the Royal Albert Hall ) perfectly. - Jochen Schmitt

While Ive saved it for the end I did notice that the XTZ setup is at nearly $5500 expensive. XTZ sells direct to consumer though and with a generous home-trial period free return shipping and the Cinema series quality of componentry construction and performance theres value here nonetheless. Cost aside XTZs Cinema is a very impressive home theater setup. I cant see recommending it for a music-first layout but I doubt that most such system- builders would be interested anywaythough this Swedish layout is still a very able music reproducer. For a serious projection room install based on an acoustically transparent screen a genre that tends to be fairly price-insensitive anyway I think this system is just about ideal.- Daniel Kumin+ Very dynamically capable with high power handling high output+ Solidly integrated front stage+ Impressive subwoofer output and extension+ Flexible tripole surround speakers- Slightly forward tonal balance (but perfect for behind-screen placement)- Pricey

You can probably tell Im in love with this system. If you think Ive got carried away I can only suggest you have a listen yourself. At this price few speakers emulate the feeling of sonic immersion quite like the XTZ. The additional Atmosphere speakers make the array a good match for modern setup. 5.1 fans shouldnt ignore the core models either. We say: A superior-sounding movie-mad speaker system offering seriious value for money. Plenty of installation flexibility and solid construction. Not the prettiest of cabinets.- Danny Phillips
