The GoldenEar SuperCenter XL Center Channel Speaker is designed to deliver clear, natural dialogue, expansive dynamics, and impressive low-frequency extension from a relatively slim center-channel enclosure. Positioned between the compact SuperCenter X and flagship SuperCenter Reference, the SuperCenter XL is particularly well suited to larger home theater systems where greater output capability and a fuller presentation are desired.
At the heart of the SuperCenter XL is GoldenEar's High-Velocity Folded Ribbon AMT tweeter, partnered with two 5.25-inch cast-basket mid/bass drivers. Two 6.75 × 8-inch quadratic planar low-frequency radiators enhance bass extension without requiring a conventional port, helping the speaker deliver the clarity and impact needed for movie dialogue, soundtracks, multichannel music, and other demanding home theater material.
Key Features & Innovations
High-Velocity Folded Ribbon AMT tweeter — the GoldenEar SuperCenter XL Center Channel Speaker uses GoldenEar's folded-ribbon high-frequency technology for fast transient response, excellent detail, and a smooth, open presentation that helps dialogue remain clear and intelligible.
Dual 5.25-inch cast-basket mid/bass drivers — a pair of dedicated drivers provides the midrange presence, dynamic capability, and vocal accuracy required from the most important loudspeaker in a multichannel home theater system.
Dual quadratic planar low-frequency radiators — two 6.75 × 8-inch passive radiators significantly increase usable low-frequency extension while maintaining the SuperCenter XL's relatively compact enclosure dimensions.
Extended center-channel performance — GoldenEar designed the SuperCenter XL for larger home theater systems where greater low-frequency extension and dynamic range are beneficial for dialogue, effects, and soundtrack reproduction.
Voiced for GoldenEar systems — the SuperCenter Series is acoustically designed to complement GoldenEar floorstanding and bookshelf loudspeakers, helping create consistent tonal balance as sounds move across the front soundstage.
Low-profile cabinet — at only 5.75 inches high, the SuperCenter XL delivers substantial driver area and output capability while remaining practical for placement beneath many televisions and projection screens.
Broad amplifier compatibility — with 90dB efficiency and recommended amplification of 20 to 250 watts per channel, the SuperCenter XL can be incorporated into a wide variety of high-performance AV receiver and separates-based theater systems.
FAQ — GoldenEar SuperCenter XL
What size home theater is the SuperCenter XL designed for?
The SuperCenter XL is particularly well suited to medium-to-large home theater systems. Its dual mid/bass drivers and dual passive radiators provide greater low-frequency extension and dynamic capability than GoldenEar's smaller SuperCenter X.
What speakers pair well with the SuperCenter XL?
The SuperCenter XL is designed to integrate with GoldenEar floorstanding and bookshelf speakers. Its tonal balance and High-Velocity Folded Ribbon AMT technology make it an excellent center-channel choice for many GoldenEar-based surround systems.
Does the SuperCenter XL need a subwoofer?
A subwoofer is still recommended for a complete home theater system because it can reproduce the dedicated LFE channel and deepest bass effects. However, the SuperCenter XL's dual passive radiators give the center channel substantial low-frequency capability of its own.
What crossover setting should I use with the SuperCenter XL?
The ideal crossover depends on the room, associated speakers, subwoofer, and system calibration. GoldenEar notes that its SuperCenter models can work well with crossover settings around 80Hz or even 60Hz, while room correction and professional calibration can help determine the best setting for a particular installation.
How much amplifier power is recommended?
GoldenEar recommends amplification from 20 to 250 watts per channel. The speaker has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, so pairing it with a quality AV receiver or power amplifier capable of comfortably driving the speaker is recommended.
