The McIntosh XRT1.1K is a four-way floorstanding line-array loudspeaker with 70 drivers and a 1,200-watt power rating. It carries the larger XRT2.1K’s architectural approach into a shorter speaker, with a separate driver array positioned ahead of the bass cabinet.
Why This Model Matters
Its many-driver array is the defining feature, sharing midrange and high-frequency reproduction across an extended structure. Dedicated low-frequency sections complete the four-way design, and separate speaker connections support more elaborate wiring or amplification arrangements. The XRT1.1K offers a more manageable physical scale than the XRT2.1K while remaining a substantial room installation. It is a passive loudspeaker, so the power-handling figure should be considered alongside a carefully selected external amplifier.

Who It's For
For listeners seeking McIntosh line-array speakers in a room that cannot accommodate the larger model. It suits dedicated stereo and theater systems where coverage, physical installation, and amplification are planned together.
