I have a pair of XD400. Very pleased with their performance. The sound signature is low bass and powerful sound, easy to listen to. I had XEO 4, 5 and 6 before. They sound pleasing but miss the power and drive of the XD series.
I also have a costly set up with Dynaudio Sapphires. Their sound is based on the clarity of the midrange. They will give you more insight into a big orchestra and their individual instruments. They don‘t have the slam of the 400XD.
The 400 XD can get lost in bigger rooms, you would need the 600XD or 60XD.
Yes the XD is costly but it comes with powerful amplification and you can save the preamplifier and the DAC and cables. No more upgrading and trying to match components.
I was considering swapping the Sapphires for 600XD but they are very special speakers, limited edition and outstanding quality.
The Quality of the XD is also Dynaudio like. I use COAX cables to transmit the signal. I found wireless not very reliable.
Conclusion: Active speakers is the way to go these days. For AV I use Sonos.
