There are not many options for really good sound on the desk. We have already tested the Quadral Rondo Active and they are certainly a good alternative but still I find that the Tune 4 gives a better insight into the music with more timbre and details in the sound. Furthermore the Dirac DSP gives you a unique opportunity to adjust the sound as you like. Whether youre working surfing or just sitting in front of the screen the Tune 4 always make an excellent impression. The Speakers can also be used to support the TV sound for example via the optical input and it definitely sounds better than any soundbar! - Håvard Holmedal
The XTZ Tune 4 is a real wonder or realistic a first-class (active) loudspeaker but also as a stereo solution for the living room. All these possibilities make the Tune 4 more than just a great speaker whether in the sound itself or in the quality of the cabinet and its overall features. The speaker provides an amazing dynamic range and amount of details also the bass qualities are astonishing. If you need more you can also easily connect a subwoofer to the subwoofer-output. From our side there is a clear purchase recommendation.- Marcel Büttner
The XTZ Divine Alpha is one of the most affordable ways to get into the high-end loudspeaker Olympus and stay there for a long time. With that extraordinary speaker you have a perfect base to build a real top-notch system of the highest quality.- Peter Banholzer
99/100 Points Based on a well-tuned deep and clearly structured bass the sound of the 99.36 FLR is accentuated by a variety of timbres a high degree of transparency and detail as well as a concise and vivid representation of vocals. The testers especially liked the way the Fountek ribbon tweeter played which doesnt contain any kind of tonal hardship or hissing. With their sonic abilities the XTZ 99.36 FLR catapults itself into the high-end league of passive speakers and is now the Technic3D reference in the price group around 1500€ / pair.- Gerd Büsse
It is difficult to find a subwoofer to fully fill a 200 sqft area with high dynamic low bass at the same price point of SUB 112. I am sure that higher price model would have at ease of fulfilling that but that would be another story to tell. If you are in the market for a natural cinema sounding subwoofer but also be able to tune for your personal taste/preference in bass you should definitely give XTZ Cinema SUB 112 a try.
When writing these lines in the conclusion I notice that in the above description of sound I delivered the greatest compliment for the XTZ basically en passant: All speakers which came to my mind as a benchmark are concerning the price level at least one level above the Alpha. This clearly reveals the level at which the XTZ Divine Alpha plays: resolution / transparency dynamics airiness long-term fitness and neutrality are on an absolute high-end level also in the range far above 10.000€ there is not (much) more to get.- Jörg Dames
This XTZ combination makes it possible for the owner to put a smile on his face and possibly to re-live existing titles. The Spirit 2 are wonderfully present in the action despite their size so they control the film action with a very precise and clear voice reproduction but are also able to do very well in the midrange.- Matthias Fengler+ First-class workmanship+ High-quality sanding varnish+ Small footprint+ Tonality / sound+ Performance due to size- Sockets for front cover visible
The idea of the Spirit Sub 12 is very powerful can be characterized by a very precise punch and the timing is excellent. The reproduction is never exaggerated and makes a perfectly dosed impression. When the events in the movie are getting really violent like on the UHD by Hacksaw Ridge the XTZ subwoofer really shows what it is made of.- Matthias Fengler+ first-class workmanship+ high-quality sanding varnish+ Low frequency range+ Customization options- Sockets for front cover visible
In our test cinema the XTZ set was able to implement 100 percent of its laboratory-determined advantages and played at a particularly high level. The perfect tonality of the entire set and its balanced dispersion characteristics which forms the basis for precise spatiality really appealed to us. Even acoustically very complex scenes from films like Lone Survivor or Edge of Tomorrow were solved wonderfully by the Cinema-M8-Set and left dialogues crystal clear above everything else without dissecting the whole picture or even destroying it.- Michael Voigt
Perfect spatial illusion and acoustic depth were conveyed by the S5 dipole speakers which proved to be ideal partners for the M8 front channel team. Together with the S5 dipoles and the powerful 1X12 subwoofer the XTZ Cinema set deserves a real recommendation for rousing home cinema sound at the highest level.- Michael Voigt
