Xavian Integrale
The Integrale delivers natural clarity and authoritative bass from a monumental 3.5-way platform, combining Scan-Speak Ellipticor mid/treble drivers with hybrid-radiation low frequencies. As Best of High End reports, its hand-finished, resonance-controlled 80kg cabinet and tri-wire/tri-amp flexibility create a collector-grade floorstander built for expansive, full-range musical scale.

SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 93/100
Bass
94/100
Triple-tier low-frequency design (260 mm + 222 mm plus hybrid reflex) and a claimed 25 Hz (-3 dB) response indicate authoritative extension and output for a floorstander. Large cabinet (80 kg) and dedicated lower-bass driver imply strong control and low distortion. Score set conservatively high based on specs and architecture rather than third-party listening reports.
Mid
94/100
Dedicated 180 mm Scan-Speak Ellipticor mid driver with elliptical voice coil, vented magnet and low-distortion notes points to excellent timbral accuracy and wide midrange bandwidth. The 3.5-way crossover arrangement supports clear separation and coherence through the crossover regions.
Treble
93/100
120 mm Scan-Speak Ellipticor silk dome tweeter (hand-impregnated) and low moving mass suggest refined, extended high-frequency performance without harshness. Top-end specified to 20 kHz (-3 dB) — very good but not hyper-extended beyond audiophile expectations.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
High-sensitivity drivers, large mid/tweeter geometry and rigid, well-braced 9 cm front baffle support stable imaging and layered soundstage. The design and driver quality imply excellent focus and depth, though placement/room will still matter for maximal effect.
Dynamics
94/100
93 dB sensitivity and recommended amplifier range up to 300 W give the Integrale strong headroom and slam. Low-distortion Scan-Speak drivers and a heavy, well-damped cabinet suggest robust micro- and macro-dynamic performance.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
96/100
Hand-veneered cabinets, complex internal bracing, three complementary damping materials and a 9 cm front panel all indicate top-tier cabinet engineering and finish. The substantial 80 kg per speaker underlines premium construction and resonance control.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive baseline applied. High-quality gold-plated tri-wiring / tri-amping terminals are provided, but as a passive tower the score follows the passive baseline policy.
Value for Money
80/100
Exceptional materials, high-end Scan-Speak driver complement and handcrafted cabinetry justify a premium price; however, the listed price (~35,495) places these in a niche luxury bracket, limiting mainstream value perception despite strong performance potential.

- My question concerns high-fidelity. For many years I have loved music, but I have not yet found the sound that really makes me happy. I want to build a high-fidelity system that makes me want to listen to music at home rather than elsewhere. When I go to see friends, it happens that their system, although often less expensive than mine, sounds much better. One of my friends told me that it's because it's a "more musical" system. What do you think "musical" means and what are some good system recommendations?

Manufacturer's Description — Xavian
Product detailed description
LIMITED EDITION OF 25 PAIRS
Integrale uses the best that the world-renowned Danish manufacturer has to offer. From the very beginning, we wanted to give our customers the best we could do. We have preserved the unique naturalness of the mid and high tones thanks to Ellipticor speakers. The lower tones are represented by a pair of bass speakers with hybrid acoustic radiation. Integrale plays any genre of music with confidence, authority, airiness, and majesty. The design of the Integrale respects the traditional shapes of the XN series and also introduces a tapered front panel geometry around the center and tweeter speakers. The Integrale can be ordered in our traditional walnut veneer or white or black piano lacquer. Other finishes are also available to order.
"As I get older, I realize more and more how important it is to manage my time. That's why I created Integrale, which allows me to enjoy music in its entirety and full range without having to visit concert halls. I consider Integrale to be my definitive solution, into which I have poured 35 years of experience.
