"Some products instil a positive feeling pretty much the moment you unbox them. They dont have to be enormously expensive to do so. They simply have to exude the feeling that they have been carefully and thoughtfully designed to achieve the absolute maximum their constituent components are capable of....Speakers are subjective items two examples of correct design practise can sound rather different in practise but the Spirit 11 is likely to please a great many people. Based on this impressive roster of abilities it has to be considered a Best Buy.- Ed Selley"

"The fact that Scandinavians have a sense of good loudspeakers is nothing new that they love their home cinemas through long winters as well so no wonder the XTZ Spirit series is what it promises: high dynamics of discreet design with noble matt multi-layer finishes and impeccable processing. The whole Spirit set sounds pleasantly dynamic and shows rather warm earthy sound colors which will never be annoying and can lead to enormous reserves for its compact dimensions. Speakers like these are often only able to deliver either fine music or action-movies the XTZ Spirit series instead delivers both! ... This makes the XTZ Spirit series a real bargain.- Raphael Vogt+ Great workmanship compact size+ Variable sound tuning for all speakers+ Powerful subwoofer- Floorstanding speakers are little unsteady without optional feet"

"With the Spirit series XTZ has released a big hit. These loudspeakers look superb are first-class processed and even literally go through as sound furniture. Our 5.1 Surround Set from the Spirit line offers precise dynamic sound which meets even the most demanding requirements. A particularly practical feature is the possibility to operate all loudspeakers of the series as a bass reflex or closed construction in real listening rooms. Sound adjustment is also possible with the jumper on the backside lowering the tweeter level and the three presets of the subwoofer. A look at the more than fair overall price of the Spirit 5.1 set should also create a smile in the faces of potential buyers because with this performance and processing quality the set is an absolute purchase recommendation.- Michael Voigt"

"Low price with great sound - these are the XTZ Spirit 11. At first glance somewhat unspectacular as the treble sounds more clean than agressive they show especially at higher volume a great performance. With a proper punch in the bass and a neutral overall tuning the Spirit 11 is suitable for audiophile leisure as well as for big home cinema thunderstorms.- Torsten Pless"

"For this price class XTZ offers a wonderful 5.1 set with the Spirit series which does not have to hide behind big names. The sound is full and powerful but at the same time also audibly dynamic. Specifically adapted to the own hearing or home cinema - The XTZ play a league higher than you would have expected it at the price and we say: Do not hesitate and simply try the set at your own home.- Erik Schober+ Great price / performance ratio+ Good sound reproduction+ Numerous sound adjustments possible- Nothing"

"The Spirit speakers have embraced high technology and they are your best choice if you prefer a powerful and balanced sound experience. Indeed your demand would be available by the different ways of speakers matching. When appreciating the movies I select another blue-ray disc of Celion Dion Las Vegas Concert to review the reproduction of the Spirit Series in s multichannel setup. What surprises me is that it leaves me a so incredible impression that I feel surrounded amongst the rhythm performed by drums and the clear and accurate high-pitched voice of Celion Dion!"

"The Spirit 11 doesnt sound or look like a beginners speaker at all. The processing is very high-quality the massive cabinet is equipped with an excellent varnish finish and is very valuable. The Spirit 11 delivers a rich dynamic sound and has also been harmoniously tuned.- Matthias Fengler+ Valuable processing / lacquer finish+ Technical equipment+ Customizable sound+ Sound characteristics / tonality+ Allrounder music / film operation- Bracket for front cover optically not solved optimally"

"XTZ has practically done everything right with the Spirit series: natural harmonious and precise sound noble workmanship contemporary look - and the whole at a price that amazes. For a around 2000 EUR it will be difficult to get an even more powerful overall package. The extremely powerful active subwoofers clearly stands out in the Spirit set. All components are well processed leaving little scope for criticism: It would be desirable if the Swedes offered suitable top firing modules for the Spirit 11 front loudspeakers.- Carsten Rampacher"

"XTZ Spirit 11 plays well above expectations and marks a new level of quality in the price range below 8.000 NOK. They sound entertaining and engaging and together with a reasonable amplifier you are only one purchase away from an amazing listening experience. Suddenly XTZ was the reason why all the other manufacturers of speakers must sharpen up yet little extra get up very early in the morning and come up with new stuff that plays even better. They also did well but right now I can not see others who completely manage to compete with Spirit 11 at this price.- Håvard Holmedal"

"The new Spirit series is made for people who appreciate the true quality of music and movies. It is like real sound which gives you the feeling to really be in the center of the event. Gripping bass as well as accurate mid and treble are the strengths of the Spirit Series. The use of in-house developed and optimized high-quality drivers in neatly manufactured cabinets with a great finish is unique in this price range and even provides a larger number of audiences to enjoy the natural and balanced sound of XTZ speakers. -Zhuhai"

"With its sturdy and almost austere appearance XTZ gives a very solid impression. It is conveniently well built not too expensive and also sounding with a high entertainment factor. Actually there is nothing to complain on we surrender and give two solid Thumbs up! Although I liked the 95 series and although I call myself a reactionary I think the Spirit is a major step forward in the development for XTZ.- Thomas Odeltorp+ Well built and good concept+ Accurate and smooth sound- In this price range - nothing!"
