Product Overview

More volume is easy, effortless is rare.

Airmotiv XT2 Tower Loudspeakers are 3-way floorstanding speakers built for that easy power. The folded ribbon tweeter keeps detail airy without glare, the dedicated 5.25 inch midrange locks vocals and dialogue in place, and three 6 inch woofers deliver deep, controlled bass that stays tight as rooms get bigger. With stout internal bracing and tuned rear ports, XT2 fills mid to large spaces with calm authority for music and as serious home theater speakers.

Set them up with a quality stereo amplifier or an AV receiver that is comfortable with 4 ohm speakers, 100 watts or more recommended. Dual 5-way binding posts support bi-amping or bi-wiring for painless upgrades. The rotatable ribbon tweeter helps you fit the speaker to your layout, and the serviceable crossover design keeps future care simple. You get headroom, clarity, and bass you can feel at sane volumes, plus a clean look that belongs in a real living room.

Common uses

• Front left and right in a mid to large home theater
• Two channel music system where imaging and vocals matter
• Open concept living rooms that need real bass without boom

disappointed

I bought a pair of Airmotiv XT2 Floorstanding Tower Loudspeakers, replacing my older Polk floor speakers. When listening to music just selecting the front speakers the sound was surprisingly thinner than my old Polks. So I added two subwoofers but the Emotivas still sounded thinner than my old speakers. The music I listen to is mostly Jazzy and Classical (good recordings and ALWAYS lossless formats)
Most of the time I listen to music via my Gustard R26II and H26 to high end headphones. But still I expected a lot more from these speakers.

That being said, for movies in 11. 2 surround in combination with two subwoofers that are not to boomy, they sound great. But not much better than my old Polks.

Hands down BEST SPEAKERS for the price.

Hands-down, the best speakers for the price. The Emotiva Airmotiv XT2 are gorgeous speakers that beat out other pairs of speakers three times price. Their entire airmotiv line is phenomenal, with high-quality components like AMT tweeters that deliver sparkly accurate highs and fiber woven middle ranges and woofers that are incredibly accurate. And they BUMP. Incredibly satisfied!

My mornings are full of beautiful sound and coffee

I am enjoying these speakers very much as I am still learning where I'd like to place them. I previously Mini magnepan speakers. A huge Improvement and I am very much enjoying the sound quality. I have them paired with a weem audio streamer and a Harman Kardon HK 3490. I enjoy classical music more than ever especially being able to easily change and stream these speakers are wonderful

Above And Beyond!

I was ready to finally spend some real money on a high end set of speakers and budget was under two grand. I considered a used set of 10 year old KEFs that were like new, and almost pulled the trigger when I found your Xt2 speakers on sale. I am a fan of Randy the cheap audio guy and he reviewed your speakers well. I looked at a few other reviews and found them all positive so I took the plunge. Wow! These Tt2s are seriously sweet sounding speakers. Poweful bass and detailed soundstage. They are impressive looking and still not too big, in my opinion. Love them and can't wait for them to fully break in! Thanks guys!

Very surprising bass and unique sounding speakers

Here's what I like about the speakers.
1. Interesting bass
2. No ear fatigue
3. Upper frequencies are very detailed.
4. They sound exceptional even at low volumes.
My reference speaker for the ultimate sound that I'm looking for are Klipsch cornwalls. Unfortunately in my tiny bedroom I don't have enough room for cornwalls. I love what people hate about Klipsch, the shouty upper frequencies and mid-range. The Emotiva speakers don't sound like the cornwalls. But there are things about them that I like better. In the cornwalls the bass disappears when you play the speakers really low. These speakers have very interesting bass, even at very low listening levels. And the upper frequencies are equally as interesting at low levels. Most speakers I've ever listened to at low levels all sound the same . . . like garbage. Concerning the bass I've never really cared much about bass, I just wanted it there. So I would add a sub to any system that I had. It always sounded boomy and I just thought that was normal. I just wanted bass that filled the room. The first thing that struck me about these speakers is that the bass is really good but in a totally new way to me. It's very controlled and room filling but not boomy. You can hear every note plucked by the bass player rather than all the bass notes kind of blending together along with the kick drum to create the big boomy bass sound that I've been used to and thought that I liked. However that's no longer the case. The bass made by the Emotiva speakers sounds exactly what you'd want to hear if you were listening to a live band. Not boomy and overcrowding all the other frequencies, but sitting right where it's supposed to so that you can still hear all the other frequencies very clear while definitely knowing that there is a bass player and a kick drum. So I have no need for a subwoofer with these. Another thing I like about these xt2 speakers is that there's no ear fatigue even if I listen to them for 2 hours straight at high volume. I'm very sensitive to loud noises over a long period of time, and I was surprised that my ears almost felt massaged rather than tired or irritated after listening to these speakers very loud for a very long time. I don't think these speakers have technically what's called a ribbon Tweeter but it's some variation of that. I've never heard these type of upper frequencies before. Totally unique and different from any other tweeters I've ever heard. Very good! The upper frequencies is what's always been important to me when listening to a good pair of speakers. I don't like flat, I like energy in my mix and part of that has to be loud shouty upper frequencies not buried in the bass. Let's just say I won't be exercising Emotiva's return policy with these speakers! They are very good!

Outperformed Expectations

Cant say enough good things about the audio fidelity of these speakers. I spent 20 hours testing these speakers across a range of mediums and sources during the day of and after receiving these speakers. They far exceeded the clarity and balance of sound that I hoped for. There’s a lot more technical praise I could layer in this review, but I recommend listening for yourself. 100% endorse the purchase of these speakers. They will make your ears happy and nourish your musical needs.

XT2 upgrade from XB2

I’ll keep this shirt, but the XB2 speakers were already great. The XBTs are an entirely different level. Running same amps, my trusty Emo UPA-1 monoblocks that are 15 years old now. The towers did exactly what I wanted. Lower extension in the bass, incredible midbass, same great sound signature, but drastically improved midrange clarity due to the 3-way design. My XB2s were having to produce both midrange and midbass out of the same driver and now having three midbass drivers in each tower freed up the dedicated midrange driver to produce even more exceptional clarity. Couldn’t be happier. And of course the same great treble response from the AMT folded ribbon tweeters. Couldn’t be happier… this upgrade checked every box I was hoping for. Exceptional tower speakers that won’t break the bank. Thanks everyone!

Clean and Crisp XT2 Speakers

As an early adopter of Emotiva and owning 6 amps and one of their processors, this is my first move into their speakers. One month ago I purchased their XT1 speakers for my vacation home and was so happy with them that I purchased the XT2’s for my main home. The XT’s are the closest I’ve come to replicating the clean, crisp sound of my Technics SB-6000 speakers circa 1976. The XT’s excel in the mid and high end and are also very competent in the low end, even when the sub woofer is pulled out of the equation. If you’re looking for a “bright” speaker with a huge soundstage, these are the speakers you want. I would’ve gone for the XT-3’s, but they were sold out.

My music has never sounded so good!

I've been loving my new speakers and amp. My wife remarked that she's surprised I haven't been buying new records to go with my new system. It's like all of my records are new right now. Everything sounds so good!

It is all in the details vs the T2+

I just installed my pair of XT2s in my stereo system downstairs. Against the T2+, they "opened" up the midrange. I sampled them with Robert Plant's "Heaven Knows," and the female chorus came out clean, airy, and detailed, whereas, on the T2+, the same sounded muted and lacked some energy. Annie Lennox's voice was sublime, and an added surprise was that the hi-hats sounded very clean. The soundstage was slightly wider, and the imaging was very good. The bass was not boosted, yet punchy. They were connected to the BasX TA-2 receiver/ amplifier, which had no trouble with these.

I never thought Emotiva would be able to improve much against the T2+s, but I have to admit they were very successful. Slight details here and there do add up. I am more than satisfied.

These sound great. I use these as my rear channel and some warm bookshelves as my fronts for a smaller room. Don’t need the bookshelf speakers but they were just collecting dust so I added them. XT2 Speakers are amazing sounding for the price.

Superb; just as reviewed.

I bought these to upgrade my second, bedroom system from a vintage pair of 4-way Infinity speakers, based on a glowing review in YouTube. They deliver sharp, deep sound throughout the audible spectrum. At first, I was skeptical about the triple woofers, not being a particularly "bass" listener, but I was quickly won over. Highly recommended for the $1000 price / pair,

Huh, so that's what it's supposed to sound like

I never thought I could get clarity and precision from home. I feel like I'm in the studio with the music.

XT2's, marvelous when given enough power

The XT2's have completed my home theater/music system. These are fantastic but do require sufficient power to achieve their potential (as with most towers I'd assume). The difference between running the speakers without an external amp and with was significant. I picked up a used Emotiva Basx A-300 and the result is fantastic, allowed the headroom to get the full potential out of the speakers at higher and lower volume levels.

Airmotiv XT2

The Emotiva Airmotiv XT2 Tower Speakers are an outstanding value for the money. They deliver clean, detailed highs thanks to the folded ribbon tweeter and are built with excellent craftsmanship.

If you’re looking for deeper, more impactful bass—especially for movies or larger rooms—I strongly recommend pairing them with a dedicated subwoofer like the Emotiva Airmotiv XS12e Subwoofer. It adds the low-end extension the towers can’t fully reach on their own.
