Indiana Line Nota 260X bookshelf speakers

The Indiana Line Nota 260X bookshelf speaker was developed for small two-channel or multichannel Hi-Fi setups. This compact speaker allows for a quality Hi-Fi system at an affordable price.

INDIANA LINE NOTA 260X: FEATURES

The mid-bass is handled by a 166 mm driver equipped with a polypropylene cone. The high frequencies are reproduced by a 26 mm textile dome tweeter.

The bass driver is bass-reflex loaded with a port located at the top rear of the speaker.

The crossover is simple but effective, using air-core inductors and polypropylene capacitors, setting the crossover frequency at 2600 Hz.

The internal damping is achieved with a high-purity, non-woven synthetic foam, known for its excellent internal resonance damping.

The connection to the amplifier is via a high-quality, gold-plated single binding post, which accepts bare wires or banana plugs.

INDIANA LINE NOTA 260X: INSTALLATION

We tested the Indiana Line Nota 260X with a small amplifier delivering around 40 watts. We recommend spacing them 2 meters apart and placing them at least 25 cm away from the rear wall. The ideal position is between 50 and 70 cm from the floor. They are suitable for rooms smaller than 20 m².

INDIANA LINE NOTA 260X: TEST AND LISTENING

The initial measurements were a real surprise! They offer a superb soundstage, both in width and depth. The scale is surprising for a speaker at this price point. The bass is impressive and provides excellent depth, with fast and perfectly controlled impacts, even with a modest amplifier. Vocals are reproduced with great clarity and transparency. The midrange is dynamic and well-defined, with perfectly readable and well-outlined instruments. The treble integrates seamlessly with the other frequencies. The tweeter reproduces a lot of detail without excessive brightness. The instrument separation is excellent and, on some tracks, very impressive.

However, the main asset of these speakers, as with most Indiana Line products, is their ability to effortlessly convey the energy in the music, making you want to tap your feet. Regardless of the music genre, they fill the room with ease and spontaneity. They possess all the qualities of the Indiana Line Nota 250X but with a more ample sound, better dynamics, and more impact in the low frequencies.

Their overall performance far exceeds their price, offering incredible and unexpected quality in this price range.
