The M40.5 XD2 has a three-lane design. The 300mm Radial 2 bass unit, the 200mm midrange Radial 2 driver and the 25mm SEAS Excel dome tweeter are responsible for the sound. The speaker operates in the frequency range from 35 Hz to 20,000 Hz with an impedance of 6 ohms and a sensitivity of 86 dB.
Each speaker is equipped with a 300mm bass driver, a 200mm RADIAL4 driver, and a 20mm tweeter.
The model is two-lane, it should be used with racks. Despite the forward position of the bass reflex ports, the speakers should not be pushed close to the wall to avoid unwanted coloring in the lower middle.
According to reviews, the model has a neutral and natural sound, faithfully conveys the voices and timbre of instruments. The bass is approaching the lower octave, albeit at a reduced level and power.
The P3ESR XD2 can be used in a wide range of listening rooms and is optimized as a light electrical load even with low-power amplifiers.
