McIntosh LCR80

Flexible design. Impressive sound.

The McIntosh LCR80 is one versatile speaker. Mount a pair on your wall for powerful stereo sound, or use one as your home theater's center channel speaker. It works beautifully with the voice-matched McIntosh XR50 bookshelf or XR100 floor-standing speakers for crisp, clear movie dialogue and gripping sound effects. You could even place three of them across your home theater's front soundstage to enjoy engaging sound while conserving valuable floor space. McIntosh includes all the hardware you need to wall mount the LCR80 vertically or horizontally, or to place it on a shelf or tabletop. No matter how you use it, you can count on rich, detailed McIntosh sound.

Exceptional imaging, clarity, and power handling

The LCR80's 3/4" titanium dome tweeter and two 2" inverted dome midrange drivers are mounted to a machined alloy plate that can be rotated to ensure optimized sound dispersion for either vertical or horizontal placement. McIntosh places the tweeter between the midrange drivers for a smoother, more even response pattern with spacious imaging and soundstaging. This multiple driver array also provides increased power handling, plus greater dynamic range and output with less distortion since each driver isn't forced to work as hard.

Patented woofers for tight, controlled bass

The LCR80's high-definition bass comes courtesy of two patented McIntosh 6" LD/HP® (Low Distortion/High Performance) woofers. Compared to conventional woofer designs, these drivers feature an advanced magnetic circuit that significantly reduces distortion while increasing power handling and efficiency. Their rigid, die-cast alloy baskets, four-layer copper voice coils, and polypropylene cones with rubber surrounds act as near-perfect air pistons for fast, articulate bass and superb transient response. 

Beautiful inside and out

McIntosh builds each LCR80 enclosure with non-parallel internal sides to reduce distortion caused by internal standing waves. The cabinets are then completed with premium, real wood veneers with a high-gloss finish for a stylish, modern appearance. McIntosh tops off each speaker with an attractive magnetic grille that features invisible attachments to give the LCR80 a clean, streamlined look when you remove it. 

A world-famous audio heritage, made in America

Since its founding in 1949, McIntosh has defined the meaning of high-quality sound reproduction, while setting industry standards for superior performance and reliability. The company is based in Binghamton, New York, where its high-end components and speakers are still individually handcrafted by a team of skilled experts. This uncompromising dedication to quality has made McIntosh one of the most recognized and respected audio manufacturers in the world.
